Extra points if you can guess what show I'm going to tonight.
When you and your dining companion cannot agree on what to eat, the crisis sometimes comes down to:
"See you in Food Court".
The Onion reports that Robert "The FBI White-Washer" Mueller will "make those bastards pay" for what they did to his BFF "Crazy Comey the Leaker".
https://politics.theonion.com/i-ll-make-those-bastards-pay-teary-eyed-mueller-whis-1819984107
Blue Man Group?
Hmmm. I don't see Ann as a Donny and Marie or Celine type. Le Reve seems more her thing.
well, ya got curque du soleil, daniel tosh,
absinthe, blue man group, Vegas! the show, Elton john,
Donnie and marie Osmond, tournament of kings,Britney Piece of me,
intimate evening with Santana,terry fator,brad garret, human nature
jukebox,x burlesque,v-the ultimate variety show,tom green,
thunda from down unda, rat pack back,menopause the musical,
fantasy,carrot top,chippendales,mj live, magic mike live,
austrailian b gees,paranormal mind reading ...whoa, that's it
Paranormal Mind Reading. You will have doubts and realize you
should have seen carrot top.
Funny. I saw a Muslim man praying on the ground in that food court access area. Up above I saw two Hasidic Jews, which surprised me, because what the hell are they doing in Vegas? I'm such a Cracker.
What was Ronald McDonald doing there?
We don't need no stinkin' points!
(Cirque du Soleil)
...Wait a minute; is Perry Como appearing at Caesar's?
Go Dodgers.
Up above I saw two Hasidic Jews, which surprised me, because what the hell are they doing in Vegas?
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
Penn and Teller.
The Beatles thing-y.
Duh.
Carlos Santana
Another vote for Penn and Teller.
Penn and Teller would be the right one to see, if they're in town. But yeah, my guess is definitely the Beatles Cirque show.
Blue Man Group?
Do not waste your time.

Odds on favorite, unless there's a Bob Dylan based show I haven't heard about.
I'd like to rule out Chippendales ...
;-)
I can’t overstate how incredible this is - Jacobson suing National Academy of Sciences as well as his colleagues over scientific differences
Having seen P&T four times and enough Cirque du Soleil to last a lifetime, the show I'm hoping to get to next week is Santana.
Beatles Love
I hope you're going to see The Beatles:Love with Cirque du Soleil at The Mirage. I'm in Vegas every January for SHOT Show and haven't been able to see it yet, and it's been playing for almost a decade. Next year in Vegas. Or Jerusalem, if they take it on the road.
Is there such a thing as a Laslo Spatula stage production yet?
Kevin Spacey may be free to play Cynical Videostore Guy
Mindfreak
I'm thinking Elton John would be too senior citizen for you.
Las Vegas is a nice place to live for singers, musicians, dancers, and other show people. It's possible to get steady work without going on the road, and live in a good neighborhood with your spouse and kids, although it's not a great place to raise kids. Boulder City is a town for those who make their dough in Vegas but don't want their kids to grow up there.

Trade shows. There are a lot of trade shows in Vegas.
Lemme guess.....there is no dress code in the food court.
I'd rather gamble than watch a Vegas floor show,. Siegfried & Roy might be fun, but you can't always count on the tigers.
Well, it had ta happen. I'm surprised and impressed that it took this long.
madAsH took the bait, the low hanging fruit.

BTW, take a hit of that J., and you cray if ya goes back to the Beat...
IMHO.
Are the “Look at me!” industries the ones with the worst harassment problems? I think so. They are the industries where the gap between making it and not translates to a huge amount of attention and money. That creates a real power imbalance that can be exploited by anyone who can help you “make it”. They are also a business that attracts narcissistic people, and because the rewards are fame and wealth, they foster an entitled mentality. Sports, movies, TV, punditry. Look at me!
I'd like to get a reverse death pool going. I know tomorrow some other beloved actor is going to go splat and have to announce how much he respects and admires women who come forward although he has no memory of that particular incident.....My death pool is not about who sinks but who bobs back up. My bet is Mark Halperin. What he did wasn't obscenely awful, and he wasn't especially famous or beloved. I think that after a couple of years and after displaying sufficient contrition in the healing presence of Ellen and Rachel that he will be allowed to continue his career........Kevin Spacey has a shot at redemption. He was always kind of creepy and he could incorporate these scandals into his persona, but my money is on Halperin.
"I know tomorrow some other beloved actor is going to go splat and have to announce how much he respects and admires women who come forward although he has no memory of that particular incident..."
Don't leave out dudes messin' w/ boys. [And, theoretically (except for teachers) gals F-in boys (and/or gals F-in girls (has that ever happened? (i.e. has that happened outside of fictional porn (p.s. if it hasn't happened in porn, maybe it should (JK)) (OTOH, just sayin')))))].
Uh Oh, trouble in paradise.
Breitbart reports ... breathlessly:
On a phone call Tuesday with Breitbart News Executive Chairman and former White House Chief Strategist Stephen K. Bannon, “Trump blamed Jared Kushner for his role in decisions, specifically the firings of [former National Security Adviser] Mike Flynn and [former FBI Director] James Comey, that led to Mueller’s appointment,”
Kushner, along with his wife Ivanka Trump, also pushed Trump to hire Manafort, who was needed to fill the spot of Trump’s initial campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, after Ivanka reportedly gave her father an ultimatum to fire him.
“Jared is the worst political adviser in the White House in modern history,” Nunberg tells Sherman. “I’m only saying publicly what everyone says behind the scenes at Fox News, in conservative media, and the Senate and Congress.”
“Here’s what Manafort’s indictment tells me,” says former Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg, “Mueller is going to go over every financial dealing of Jared Kushner and the Trump Organization.” “Trump is at 33 percent in Gallup. You can’t go any lower. He’s fucked,” he adds.
"I'd like to get a reverse death pool going." A bit early for that. Bill hasn't even been killed yet. I'm waiting, waiting . . .
According to The Encyclopedia of Modern Politics (ballotpedia.org), "former Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg" was part of the trump campaign for less than three weeks, and was fired in August 2015 "following a Business Insider report on racially provocative social media posts". He'd apparently been fired before. Should we believe what he says about Trump now? Note Nunberg's words as quoted by ARM: Jared Kushner is "the worst political adviser in the White House in modern history . . . I’m only saying publicly what everyone says behind the scenes at Fox News, in conservative media, and the Senate and Congress" - no mention of what people are saying behind the scenes in the Trump administration, or even what supporters of Trump are saying, just the usual NeverTrumpers saying what they want to be true, with no regard to whether it actually is. Calling this story 'dubious' would be too kind.
“Mueller is going to go over every financial dealing of Jared Kushner and the Trump Organization.” Wait, wasn't he supposed to investigate, you know, campaign collusion in 2016--and, since he's a prosecutor and all, some sort of crime?
"Uh Oh, trouble in paradise.
Breitbart reports ... breathlessly:..."
That's fake news:
“The press is a gang of cruel faggots. Journalism is not a profession or a trade. It is a cheap catch-all for fuckoffs and misfits—a false doorway to the backside of life, a filthy piss-ridden little hole nailed off by the building inspector, but just deep enough for a wino to curl up from the sidewalk and masturbate like a chimp in a zoo-cage.”
[BTW, will this quote fit on Althouse's masthead? If so, that's her exit plan. Throw that up, and retire from daily blogging. No matter her effort, she'll never say more. IMHO.]

Tim McGraw. A suggestion of nipple was not enough.

Are the “Look at me!” industries the ones with the worst harassment problems? I think so. They are the industries where the gap between making it and not translates to a huge amount of attention and money. That creates a real power imbalance that can be exploited by anyone who can help you “make it”. They are also a business that attracts narcissistic people, and because the rewards are fame and wealth, they foster an entitled mentality. Sports, movies, TV, punditry. Look at me!
Don't forget blogging. I mean, look at what Meade was forced to do to try to get ahead in this business.
I have seen penn and teller live five times over the last twenty years, three times in vegas. I would gladly see them again tomorrow were they in my area. So if not penn and teller today, you should see them tomorrow, or before you leave, if they're in town.
Re quotes re Hunter:
"Just once I'd love to hear a politician who would say something like:
"You know, I don't think I've been the same since I heard the 14th unfinished fugue of J.S. Bach's "Art of the Fugue", specifically the point where Bach inserts as a countersubject the notes corresponding to the letters of his own name. It was that moment that I felt a profound connection between humanity and the universe, between numbers and metaphysics. It was that moment, listening to the ailing old Bach's assertion of his selfhood, coded into his own complex and beautiful system, that I felt truly alive and driven to spend my life devoted to the advancement of civilization and humanity."
But no. It's "Maggie's Farm". Fleetwood Mac. Wyclef Jean. You can't be elected if you actually like music anymore."
Who thinks like that in these threads, now. What happened to Palladian-ism?
I've seen Blue Man Group, Le Reve, Penn/Teller, and most of the Cirque du Soleil shows.
Zumanity is awful.
Ka will blow you out of your seat. BMG is fun, as is P&T. We usually take people to Ka.
Nice total commitment on the outfit in the second picture.

There's no, "This piece of clothing is kind of bright, I'll make it an accent and tone it down with the other things." No coy, "Tee hee! Look, a little bit of color."
That outfit radiates, "No half measures taken. Deal with my gleam."
"Screw beige. Shove your gray. Black? Please. Muted tones are for the drones."
I'm thinking Elton John would be too senior citizen for you.
He was a very good sport in "Kingsman 2". Not a great actor, but a good sport. Surprised me.
Looks empty there. Hey, I'll be in Vegas tomorrow ! Point me to a loose slot machine, will ya?
FTR, If y'all must fall for the bait, could ya at least highlight the acid-washed denim hat.
I know that Palladian et. al. are gone, so we're left w/ what we gots. Considering that, the least we can do is ta do what we do the way it's meant to be dunzo-ed.
Sheesh.
BTW, I wouldn't be surprised if Meadehouse got this gal's permission for the pic. IOW, there coulda been a bit of jabber, and then staging.
The alternative is that Meadehouse are loons running around LV, pulling out a camera (phone) and chasing down a silly-Halloween-outfit in its natural environment (i.e. on the way to the food court (btw, who came up w/ the "food court" term? (is that in the OED?))).
There were some creepy elements that told me to stay away from that sequel.
National Novel Writing Month started today. Good luck everyone doing it.
Springer has to be the MVP right?
Thunder Down Under assuming they don't wear shorts.
Not everyone knows that Las Vegas was founded by, and most of its real estate is still owned by, Mormons.
Its street photography man, Cartier-Bresson and all that.
The decisive moment happens when it happens.
Nobody asks first. Thats lame.
Elton John, that's who I would see anyways.
First: Love the shadowed woman walking by in the first picture. It is a Rorschach test of sorts. Who is she? What is she? What does she look like? Save her shape, one has no idea.
Second, you are going to see Britany Spears. Sure, why not.
rightguy2,
I thought Zumanity might be the one she went to see tonight since she was at New York, New York for the escalator shot. I didn't like Zumanity as much as the one at The Bellagio (O I think it was called). I haven't seen the other ones, though.
Go Astros! A few weeks ago I poked gentle fun at a commenter on Tyler Cowen's site when he wrote he was a life long Astros fan- I asked him how that was possible. I guess I now know.
FIDO said... "First: Love the shadowed woman walking by in the first picture. It is a Rorschach test of sorts. Who is she? What is she? What does she look like? Save her shape, one has no idea."
Yeah, I thought she was great. Was glad she walked into the frame.
"Second, you are going to see Britany Spears. Sure, why not."
You are right!
"I'm thinking Elton John would be too senior citizen for you."
It wasn't possible to see Elton John tonight. I would have preferred that.
I would also, if it were just up to me, go to all the Cirque du Soleil shows. But we are going to one, the one we don't have to leave the hotel to see.
I saw the Beatles one on my last trip, and I saw Mystere a long time ago.'
I would have loved to see the Beatles one again. Very enjoyable.
From Bud Brown's list it doesn't look like there is anything good to chose from. I'm guessing Althouse might choose the most kitschy act just to be contrary. Don't think she was a big Beatles fan but the Circe de Soliel thing is pure schlock.

We saw a Beatles cover band this summer, Abby Road Live, and they were great, and served as a reminder of how great the Beatles were, just one great, fun song after another. The crowd, and we, loved the whole thing. The crowd was full of people 15 to 75 years old, and everyone seemed to know all of the words to the songs. It's easy to forget how much FUN the Beatles were. They had an energy and playfulness that was just grand.

Sketchy Guy Who Works at the Adult Bookstore says:
As I have mentioned before, I sometimes see celebrities come into the store; last night was no different. A woman walks in wearing a long coat and a red trucker cap pulled down low over her eyes. I know who she is immediately, but I show no outward recognition -- if you want repeat customers you need to honor expectations of privacy, at least for the ones who aren't twitching freaks...
The woman walks back through the aisles and collects a video here, a video there. Eventually she comes up to the counter with these videos and a woman's small masturbation device...
"I know you know who I am," she says in a dusky voice, and I nod: of course it is Britney Spears. She obviously has some years on her, but she still looks good, except for the sadness in her eyes...
I ring up the videos and instantly notice the theme: on each of the covers are porn-stars, dressed like Britney from that video back in the day -- the schoolgirl skirt, the knee-high socks, the shirt tied up and pulled above her stomach with the push-up bra, the hair thing with the braids. It's still a thing in porn, that look: a lot of guys grew up on her music videos, and now -- years later -- they have accepted their lonely, broken status in life and masturbate to a facsimile of their teenage fantasy-girl...
"They're not for me," she says, and I admit, I feel a bit better: I had pictured Britney at home, masturbating with her new masturbation device to shoddy representations of her lost youth, sucking cocks and being bent over and fucked with her schoolgirl skirt pulled up over her hips. Instead, it got sadder...
"They're for my man," she says. "He gets off on girls who look like me when I was young."
I am not sure how to reply to that, so I simply nod...
"I know -- I know: pathetic, right? He's downstairs on the couch jerking off to girls who look like me back in the day getting fucked in the ass, and I'm upstairs masturbating to Justin Timberlake movies."
I sympathetically nod again, and finish ringing her up.
"Getting old sucks," she says as I hand her the bag.
"You're still a very beautiful woman," I say, hoping somehow that might make her feel a little better...
"That's nice," she says. "But it hurts when everyone loved you best when you were eighteen."
"That must be tough."
"Yeah. But the video of the Britney getting fucked by the black guy with the big black cock...?"
"Yeah?"
"That's for ME..."
I am Laslo.
Joan Didion, from her classic mid-60s essay on Vegas:
-----
Las Vegas is the most extreme and allegorical of American settlements, bizarre and beautiful in its venality and in its devotion to immediate gratification, a place the tone of which is set by mobsters and call girls and ladies’ room attendants with amyl nitrite poppers in their uniform pockets. Almost everyone notes that there is no “time” in Las Vegas, no night and no day and no past and no future … neither is there any logical sense of where one is. One is standing on a highway in the middle of a vast hostile desert looking at an eighty-foot sign which blinks ”Stardust” or “Caesar’s Palace.”
Yes, but what does that explain? This geographical implausibility reinforces the sense that what happens there has no connection with “real” life; Nevada cities like Reno and Carson are ranch towns, Western towns, places behind which there is some historical imperative. But Las Vegas seems to exist only in the eye of the beholder.

Just so it wasn’t Chippendales!
This probably won't apply to anyone here, but for those who hate Hillary this is an interesting read.

That is an interesting study in self-serving bullshit. Donna Brazile is Shocked, shocked to find the DNC was biased in favor of Clinton over Sanders? The same Donna Brazile who used her position at CNN to feed Democrat primary debate questions to the Clinton campaign ahead of the debate?
Note that the above action was while she was DNC Vice-Chairman.
but for those who hate Hillary this is an interesting read
What difference, at this point, does it make?
My God, though -- the USA dodged such a bullet by torpedoing that evil woman's coronation!
Is their bench so empty they need to try and work Donna back into the rotation?
Laslo is the Balzac of the Althouse commentariat. Damn autocorrect!
I suppose it gets tougher to get people to do the dirty stuff if they know they aren’t supported later.
That silhouette has a beautiful shape and posture.
I hesitate to make a comment like that, because I don't want to come across as a perv. But it's a pretty sight to me: that person looks nice without trying, just walking along and checking the mobile phone.
ARM, read what Bliss said. You won't find that in the Political article.
The DNC sure gave Bernie and his bros a good and proper fucking. Thank you, sir - may I have another!
So, I can see Mariners fans at games next year with signs that "Hurricanes: Please hit here!"
(For those of you who don't follow baseball, the Mariners are one of only two teams who have never even been to the World Series. Houston gets slammed by a hurricane and wins their first World Series. Seattle fans confuse correlation and causation. Ba dum bum. (The signs would also be reminiscent of the old "Hit it here, Junior" signs you'd see at Mariners games back when Ken Griffey, Jr was playing there)
ARM, it is an open question, leaning heavily to no, whether the Russians hacked the DNC. To put it in political terms, the logical path to that conclusion is exceedingly narrow.
