Las Vegas Shows .. Any Recommendations?
Going with the gf to Vegas this coming weekend. her first time there.
she is only 20 so we are somewhat limited in that we can’t booze it up (at least not at the clubs) … so, i’m hoping to find some good shows to take her to.
Have tickets to see “O” on Saturday. I’ve seen it, she has not. Looking for a Friday show.
Would two Cirque shows in one weekend be too much Cirque? Was thinking about “Ka” on Friday … if that seems like too much Cirque (my gf has never been to any Cirque shows) maybe Lance Burton (magic) or something else makes more sense???
Any advice?

Yep…it’s THAT long. Haha, so I need to pick ONE. I also want to read some of these books during my free time but I need one for school. What do you recommend? You can recommend more than one so I have a smaller selection but I just want to know what everyone else thinks. Also, try to pick ones without boring beginnings because if they’re boring at first, it’ll be hard for me to move on. Thanks so much!
Recommendations On Clean Movies With The Ability To Touch The Heart?
Very interested if anyone could please recommend any movies you have seen that you have found particularly enjoyable and/or have genuinely touched the heart, but without any of the explicit “adult” scenes and strong violence that are so prevalent in most movies these days? Any input you could share would be appreciated as many times it can be really challenging sometimes to find quality movies in 2009, lol!
FWIW, here are some on my own personal list that I’m fond of:
–”The Inheritance” (1997, Cari Shayne, Meredith Baxter)
–”David Copperfield” (2000, Hugh Dancy, Sally Field)
–”Man In The Iron Mask” (1998, Leonardo DiCaprio, G. Bryne)
–”Ghost” (1990, Patrick Swayze, Whoopi Goldberg)
–”Nero” (2004, Hans Matheson, Rike Schmid)
–”Augustus” (2003, Peter O’Toole)
