I don't know that I can even put into words how amazing LOVE was! Let me start with this, It's a Cirque Du Soleli Show and they do nothing half assed.
Mariya and I left our hotel around 5 and headed over to the Mirage which is where LOVE calls "home". We took a cab and the cab dropped us off at the back door of the Mirage where this LOVE sign was. I was so excited I made her stop to take lots of pictures I love this logo so much!
Oh and did I mention we got all 'babed' out to go? We looked pretty good! I don't know what I was expecting from the show, but I know I wasn't expecting all the ambiance that was created from the moment you saw the entrance to the theater.
RETRO!!!!
All of the staff were dressed up like this - for the guys (and I never got a picture of the gals). The concession and gift shop workers all had retro shirts on as well! And the light up walk way was too exciting!
We stood in front of this for awhile trying to get it to change colors for pictures! I went into the boutique / gift shop area and bought myself a T-shirt, cup and program to the show. I bought the program because you can't take pictures inside the show.
And again... the banner welcoming you to the era of the Beatles!
We left the Mirage just in time to cross the street to watch the Volcano do it's show - it was so hot we could feel the heat across the street it was pretty intense.
After the Volcano was done doing it's thing we walked down to the Venetian and were followed up the moving sidewalks by a 21 yr old in a scooter chair (he was not in need of) playing Highway to the danger zone and we laughed our way through the Venetian and ended up grabbing a plate of nachos and a soda while we digested all that was LOVE.
I can't remember if we grabbed a cab home or if we walked but needless to say I was in a haze from the show. We got back to the hotel and stayed up talking about the show, and life in general.
What a great trip!

And again... the banner welcoming you to the era of the Beatles!The show was just over 80 minutes long and it was amazing from start to finish. This was a show I've wanted to see since I heard it came out in 2000. I never saw myself actually going to Vegas so once I sat down in the seat and the show started I literally cried tears of joy for being there. I have never been so moved by a show in my life. In the last songs of the show they did a little tribute to the Beatles, John & George - and the tears started again! After the show Mariya and I sat in the seats as everyone swarmed out of the theater in total shock of what we had just saw. It was indescribable.
After the show let out, and most of the people had disbursed Mariya and I got up and started our way out. I was picking up confetti that was shot out over the audience for my scrapbook and one of the usher gals let me go up to the stage and get confetti from all of the different acts. I was so excited to even touch the stage - and then I declared I could be a groupie - but Mariya reminded me I have a dog and a husband at home who would not be so excited about that idea.
Even after waiting 15 minutes to leave this is the crowd we encountered.
