I received a cool email today from The New York New York Casino in Las Vegas. It seems that in order to promote their Cirque Du Soleil show Zumanity they have release an online game. Now Zumanity is referred to as the Sensual Side of Cirque De Soleil so the game is for adults only. I admit, I did play for a little bit and while I did not get to the end I did not see anything too risque', but I will put a warning page in my link.

You may notice that Tickets for Zumanity start at $69.95, but until the end of September the Summer Promotion is still going on and you can pick up tickets for $50.00. Seating is very limited at this time and is only good until the end of the month.

Now to get to something I've wanted to do for a while. A couple of my fellow Nutang Bloggers have left me comments and feedback on my previous posts. What I want to do is take a few moments to answer some of the questions and concerns I've received.

First, MidnightMonkey said:
"you should live in vegas for a while. After the first year it sinks in that the place actually sucks."

No thank you. I have no desire at all the live in Las Vegas. I like to go out once every couple of years to escape from reality and that's it. Las Vegas is like no other place I've every been. If I moved there it would make Las Vegas my reality, but instead by only going out for a few days every couple of years it keeps Las Vegas as a fantasy place for me.

I've actually heard this a lot from the Las Vegas locals. When I was there the first time I would tell the locals I came in contact with that I was from the most boring place in the world. Once I would tell them where that was they would then in turn tell me they would trade me places. Again, I would not live there if you paid me.

Midnight Monkey I hope you find your special place to retreat to and get out of Las Vegas. Even if it's only for a little while.


And RandomJunk has a 2 parter. First:
"Moving away from the family friendly atmosphere? That doesn't sound that great"

Well if you've ever been to Vegas it is great. See, in the 90's companies like Disney started buying these Casino resorts. Their plan? To turn Las Vegas into the next Orlando. A place where you can bring the entire family and have a good time. This backfired. The big gamblers didn't like tripping over kids at the buffet or being distracted by screaming in the Casino. The bottom line is that kids can't gamble. And I did care how many theme parks, water slides, shows are candy stores they put up, it's still money from gambling that pays the bills in Sin City. Does this mean kids are banned? Hell no. You can't ban people from bringing their children to Las Vegas. It just means that most of the options for fun are going back to being geared toward adults. Kids will always be there, but the resorts are no longer saying "Please bring the entire family."

And the second part of your comment:
"I always find the word LAX funny because it sounds like 'laxative'"

Me too, but as you've probably guessed, it's really L - A - X and it's just another vague acronym. We may never know exactly what the X stands for, but the L - A stands for Los Angeles.

Thanks for reading and good luck,
Vinnie

Well, I've been to Las Vegas once or twice. I didn't like it either time. :| We visited Circus Circus, or whatever that little arcade is, but it wasn't really fun. I guess what I was going for was "I hated the place because they didn't have anything I could do." :P

Yeah, if your under 21 Vegas is not the place to go to have fun. It seems like you're watching everyone else have the fun and you can't have any.
