In the past couple of years, the centuries-old vampire has started to make a vicious comeback. With hit TV shows, movies and novels, one might think that the fanged beasts were something brand new to audiences all over. These vampires are everywhere today, and Las Vegas didn’t miss their chance to jump aboard the bus of the undead.

Playing at the Stratosphere in Vegas since 2004, Bite is an edgy show that really sinks its teeth into some of the biggest vampire – and Vegas – clichés out there. Not only is this adults-only show delivering up some in-your-face gratuitous nudity, but it’s also dredging up the bygone era of 70s and 80s rock and roll.

Some critics of Bite state that some things are better left dead, like the aforementioned rock music. Most others, however, find originality and even genius in a show so far removed from anything else going on in Vegas. Bite is certainly fighting tooth-and-nail to stay afloat now due to imitators, but its loyal following is always there.

What’s the big deal about naked ladies with plastic fangs dancing around to old ZZ Top and Led Zeppelin rock classics? It’s actually about the entire feel of the show. While other productions in Vegas have retooled in order to show a more “artsy” side of entertainment, Bite had it all along.

This show was taking itself seriously as a true form of artful expression while other shows around town were relying on star power and name recognition to sell tickets. In this respect, Bite will always have a leg up on the competition, even if the other foot’s in the grave, so to speak.

There’s really not much detail to flesh out about the show, other than the abovementioned description: naked ladies acting like vampires and dancing to some 70s and 80s rock and roll. But the entertainment factor shouldn’t be undersold. Production managed to get some talented singers, dancers and aerialists to pull it all off.

Like a typical vampire story, the show starts out with a creepy voice telling the story: the lead vampire’s true love was taken over four centuries ago, and now he’s on a mission to find his soul mate. This is when the music starts and the girls begin dancing around.

The music is great for anyone who likes rock from that era. They play some Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Ozzy, Heart, Def Leppard, Guns n Roses, and more.

At its core, Bite is a love story. It’s certainly a big-production show, with plenty of smoke, mirrors and lighting effects. You will see a little bit of magic, a fantastic live singer, and some aerial feats that rival Cirque, and plenty of hot vampire girls.

Stratosphere isn’t one of Vegas’ best known venues, and as such, tickets for Bite are relatively inexpensive. A great seat will cost around 50 bucks, and you must be 18 or older to attend.

Known primarily as the “cuchi-cuchi” girl, Charo is the one-name musical phenom who has wowed world audiences for decades. Before Las Vegas became so readily known for hundreds of various entertainment shows on The Strip, Charo was certainly one of the city’s most-loved performers – and she’s back with a brand new show.

In her new show, Charo: A Musical Sensation, the fast-talking and fast-playing entertainer gives a flashback performance, of sorts, taking fans back to the Spanish music of yesteryear. Charo’s new show is taking place at the Riviera Hotel & Casino, the same location she played throughout the 1980s.

Although Charo is easily considered to be one of the best guitar players on the planet, and undoubtedly the best flamenco-style musician around, she’s also equally adored for her bubbly personality and undeniable comedic prowess. During this show, Charo treats fans to the best of both worlds, integrating comedy with her music.

The Super Bowl is perhaps one of Las Vegas’ busiest times of year. With a city literally built around betting, it’s no surprise that gamblers pour in from far and wide; and the NFL’s biggest game simply provides them a great excuse to make the trek. For nearly a decade now, Drew Carey has taken advantage of the stir and has hosted an improv show.

Drew Carey and the Improv All-Stars is a mirror image of the other show Drew used to host with the world’s funniest improvisation comics, Whose Line is it Anyway. Due to legal hassles, Drew and crew cannot use the name, but the Improv All-Stars is basically the exact same show with much of the same cast.

Although Drew and the show roll in around the same time every year, they’re also known to pop up at other times and in other locations. It’s not an ongoing show in Las Vegas, but dates are set frequently enough that anyone wanting to watch it can easily set their Vegas trip schedule for the purpose.

When it comes to athleticism and acrobatics, Cirque du Soleil has pretty much had Las Vegas in a stranglehold for decades now. However, other similar shows still manage to show up occasionally and prove that Cirque doesn’t have a monopoly on the stereotypical “afternoon” show in Sin City. On its third run, Matsuri is a great alternative to Cirque.

Matsuri is on its third go-round simply because the first two were far too watered down and cheesy for people’s tastes. Matsuri, meaning “festival” in Japanese, was based loosely on Japan’s obstacle course television shows that displayed far more humor than skill. The revamped version of Matsuri features something entirely different. 

Now, instead of tango competitions and sporadic jumping around to carnival music, Matsuri features a lot of legitimate acrobatics instead of aerobics, and they manage to pull off some great athletic feats with the 18-man Japanese roster. The music has also changed to show more classical Japanese influence.

Thanks to such interactive comedy hits like Tony and Tina’s Wedding, there’s always room in Sin City now for a play-along production involving the guests and expecting them to be drawn in in order to pull off a good show.

One of the longest running in Vegas has been the hit comedy-slash-suspense thriller, Marriage can be Murder.   If you’re a fan of the old board game and hit movie Clue, then Marriage can be Murder is probably a great show to see.

It has that who-done-it feel going on, where some audience members will get to participate in the storyline, looking for the killer. This dinner show is suspenseful, funny and entertaining all rolled into one package.     

The show takes place at the beautiful showroom at Fitzgeralds on Fremont Street in Las Vegas. The showroom is designed to look more like a banquet room, with guests sitting down to enjoy dinner while playing along. It’s a legitimate dinner, with salads and entrees and even a dessert. The real show starts after eating.

There are hundreds of shows one can find on the Las Vegas Strip. The real question comes down to your particular tastes. Do you like comedy? Maybe the arts? Or are your tastes a little more provocative? If so, there’s nothing like a topless Vegas show to scratch that naughty itch – and Fantasy is currently Vegas’ most visually stimulating.

Fantasy is currently playing every night at 10:30 p.m. via the Luxor’s Atrium Showroom. The show’s been going on for a while, and to date, Fantasy has never lacked a loyal following. Maybe it’s the actual production quality of the show that keeps people coming back. But it’s far more likely that the nude women are packing seats.

The show is pitched in a straightforward manner, and it doesn’t really deviate from its adverts. Fantasy is as close to truth in advertizing as you’ll probably find in Las Vegas. It’s promoted as a half trashy, half classy topless revue, where racy women dance, sing and entertain the folks at a frenetic pace.

Fans of the standards haven’t had much to look forward to in recent years, and this is especially true if they’ve been venturing out to Las Vegas in hopes of catching a classic crooner delivering a legitimate concert without the over-the-top bells and whistles. The truth: contemporary music is going the way of the dodo, but Barry might save the day.

Barry Manilow is the top-selling contemporary artist of all time, with over 80 million albums sold to date. In that world, he’s as big as Elvis or the Beatles in rock and roll, and is certainly able to pack folks into the Paris Las Vegas to see a show from a bygone era with Ultimate Manilow: The Hits.  

There’s something about Barry that drives women wild, and that’s primarily what his audience is made up of. Well, that and husbands who were dragged against their will. Even still, Vegas is the world’s biggest tourist trap, and enough tourists happen to be contemporary music fans to make Manilow’s show one of the biggest in the city.  

Located on the Chao Phrya River in Bangkok, Thailand, the Oriental Hotel has been one of the country’s most impressive – and equally illusive – draws for many decades. While it stands alone as one of the most breathtaking and bold hotels in the country, it’s also one of the most exclusive, with high-end clientele making up the lion’s share of its guests.
 

However, the Oriental Hotel is constantly renovating and adding and improving space. So this leaves some of the hotel’s rooms bordering on the affordable side, making it possible for average vacationers to stay in style and luxury. There are 358 rooms in total at the Oriental, with 35 ultra exclusive suites, including the famed Authors’ Suites.
 

The spellbinding views of the River of Kings and the towering architecture of Bangkok is enough in itself to lure guests into the Oriental Hotel. However, the hotel’s reputation was built on more than surrounding scenery. It was built on elegance and decadence, and the many rooms, restaurants and spa suites keep it atop everyone’s list of the best hotels.
 

 

Most people in the world have a keen interest with the past, especially medieval times. Any series or movie dealing with kings and knights is sure to be a hit with its particular niche, and various festivals and fairs take place all over the globe, celebrating the bygone era. Though, perhaps no festival is as popular as Las Vegas Tournament of Kings.

The Tournament of Kings show has been taking place for years in Las Vegas. It has been featured in many movies and TV shows, including Ozzy’s hit reality show. You can find the show happening two times every night at King Arthurs Arena in Excalibur on Las Vegas Boulevard. Its also rather affordable, costing around 60 bucks per ticket.

Tournament of Kings is definitely Sin City’s most popular interactive show. The premise is as simple as it can possibly be, while ironically being wholly elaborate. As a guest, you’re seated in one of eight sections, representing a country, and you become a patron of that country’s king (or the evil knight) and an onlooker as he fights.

Tournament gaming is one of the mainstays of the internet community. Tournament Games are not just restricted to action Video Games, or even to Online Poker Tournaments but also Online Slot Gaming.    

Online Slots Tournaments are a great way to compete, play and gamble with a lower risk factor than playing solo online slots. Tournament buy ins will grant you more credits than in solo games and with the objective being to complete the time limit of the tournament you can vary your strategy to preserve or increase your credits as much as possible.

The 19th annual Monaco Yacht Show was held September 23rd through the 26th. An estimated 30,000 people arrived over the three-day event, making it one of the busiest in recent memory in terms of foot traffic. However, this years show seemed to feature fewer businesses in attendance and fewer big yacht unveilings.

The lack of big-budget releases can be due to the economic downturn finally forcing even the rich and famous to tamp down their spending habits. It can also be to avoid negative publicity. Some publications love nothing more than to rail against the owners and companies of the newest and most lavish yachts, especially in times like these. It sells papers.

However, the event was far from a bust. An estimated 500 companies participated to showcase their latest offerings to the world of yachting. Not only do the companies have a welcoming and eager platform to unveil their latest builds, but it also gives them an opportunity to whet the appetites of potential buyers by divulging news and plans of future builds.

ABBA is undoubtedly one of Swedens top known pop bands in the world to this day. It has been over 20 years since they released their last album and the band split up, however their songs are still heard on the radio today. All of this success leads us to question, who was ABBA, and how did the whole thing begin?

All of the members of ABBA were fairly well established artists in the music scene in Sweden prior to forming the group. The group itself consisted of two couples, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad, and Bjrn Ulvaeus and Agnetha Fltskog. Andersson and Ulvaeus had worked together prior to meeting the girls and forming the band, while the girls had previously worked as solo artists.

The first song they released together as a band was People Need Love, which became a top hit in Sweden almost immediately after its release. At this point the band was simply called Bjrn & Benny, Agnetha & Anni-Frid. Later, in an effort to shorten the name of the band, while continuing to incorporate all of the members names, the abbreviation ABBA was decided upon.
