On The Fence About Vegas?
 

This from the nicksfix:

Star 102.7 (80s Music): Stevie said the Vegas shows would have to be much bigger and flamboyant than a normal show, something that would be too much to take on the road. She talked about seeing both Celine and Elton at the Colosseum and being amazed at the massive size of the stage. She also discussed how she will pick songs for the show (lots of discussion with input from her associates) and said that she will be bringing out a lot of her old costumes that she hasn't worn in years. She also promised lots of spinning (the DJ wanted to make sure that would be part of the show).

Sigh... Las Vegas, flamboyant, old costumes and perhaps some old songs OR a cruise to Ensenada... I SERIOUSLY cannot make up my mind and this latest bit of info has made it even HARDER! AARRRGGGHH!!!! Stevie why do you TORTURE fence sitters?! :laugh:

Ensenada will always be there.

If you are from the great northwest (as am I, originally) you will probably enjoy Ensenada more if you go when it's cold and dreary at home... you don't want to miss springtime up there! you are not cancelling an exciting trip... you could just postpone it. hope this helps :)

It's more of a money thing... I need to win the lottery. And the cruise is with a bunch from work, so I don't think I could talk them into postponing, unless they want to go to Vegas with me. :lol: ya-uh-huh... that would NEVER happen. I am in the NW, so you know about the drearies. Even planning a sunny vacation brings hope. :rolleyes:

OMG, if I had had something else planned on these dates of Stevie's Vegas gig, and couldn't get out of them, I'd probably kill myself! :sorry: :lol: Does that help? :shrug: :laugh:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Unless Stevie is just pulling our leg, I'm thinking these Vegas shows are going to be huge! Something we have never really seen before. Certainly the fact that it is an intimate environment but still has a big theatrical stage will create a once in a lifetime show. I'd go to Vegas if I were you. Imagine how pissed you'll be if she sings one of your favorite old songs that she has never done before.

There is one thing that I was thinking. If these shows are a hit and sell out Stevie may do this as a regular thing whenever Celine and Elton are on vacation. If she likes this then maybe she will do it every year for a week? Who knows!

All I know is that I have a decent ticket (third row from the stage, but a little too far to the left for my taste!) and need to start making travel plans! I'm sort of nervous going to Vegas all by lonesome, but oh well! There is a first time for everything.

You won't be alone once you get there! All us Ledgies will be there with ya!

Im So Glad Im Going To Vegas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's true... it seems like half the Ledge will be in Vegas!

I'm. going. to. cry.

Stupid college graduation. :rolleyes:

You really couldn't schedule a trip to see any of the shows? I mean, I'm sure you'll be getting some money for graduating, why not treat yourself to a trip to Vegas?

My graduate money is going towards rent and groceries.

I graduate on May 14th....get pinned on the 13th...and have finals on that Tues and Wed. I don't think I can make it. :laugh:

That sucks! But congrats on graduating, I guess that is more important... lol!

Yea, there's always a way out of everything. :rolleyes:

So how 'bout if everyone here starts a "Send Laura to Las Vegas Fund" ? I like that idea. :nod:

Guys I don't know what to do, I have been asked to come to Japan in October...I can go there or to Las Vegas I can't do both, however Japan is with mates from school...I would go to Las Vegas with Dad....Please help...will I be able to meet up with you guys there?

Chris how old are you? and you are going alone, I thought you were about 16?

Update on my Fence Situation:

Of the 4 ladies planning to go on this Mexican cruise, one still has not confirmed a cabinmate and she says she cannot afford the trip without one, another says she doesn't have enough vacation time accrued but would take leave without pay even tho she can't really afford to and I don't know what the story is on the third one, BUT... we were supposed to book the cruise this coming Saturday and that date has been pushed back by THREE WEEKS!!! Since two of these ladies just took their first cruise 4 months ago, maybe they have "cruise-itis" and are going to cancel this trip because the "new" is wearing off of the experience!!

So I find myself secretly hoping they WILL eventually cancel even booking the cruise. If they do, I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO going to Vegas!! I don't care how much the airfare costs and I don't care how bad of a seat I get because I KNOW there aren't any seats behind the stage. The IMAX screen and the live sound will be enough for me.

Maybe I'll tempt fate and let the ladies know it's okay if they change their minds cuz Stevie's getting ready to bust out the wardrobe cases. :D

A cruise will always be available to you, but Stevie won't! So what if your companions flake out on you? Let them know that their indecisiveness has pushed you to Vegas...which trip will you regret not taking??? Your friends will understand!

Also, desertangel, you are in the Great NW like me, and I have only a 2 hour plane trip to Vegas, that should only cost about $500 for plane and hotel on hotels.com or other sites that give me hotel/plane discounts...think about it before you go (on a cruise)

Also, for every one Ledgie that shows up, another kinda-fan will stay home (how's that for logic?) We should all be there, chiffon and everything!

Yea, so i'm caving and will more than likely be booking my flight tomorrow. It's looking like i'll be in Vegas from the 9th to the 12th (or the 13th...haven't decided but i'm only doing one or two shows).

I'm doing the 9th-12th or 13th too! As long as I'm gone by Friday, because that's when the tourists arrive!

:D :D :D

See ya there! :wavey:

You must do two..... :nod:

That is excellent news! If you do go you will never regret it! :nod:

Yeah, I'm 16 and was going to be going alone as a last resort but I managed to convince my mom to go with me (and trust me, it wasn't easy to convince her!) So I'll be going to the Friday night show by myself with my third row ticket and then will get a couple of decent seats for the Saturday show for my Mom and myself. I am almost thinking it would be really fun to sit in the Mezannine on the second night. If this show is as theatrical as Stevie said with a big Imax Screen it may be cool to have an arial view of the stage, you know?

Whoooo, hooo. Marissa caved. :blob2: Now I have a flightmate. Yea. This is going to be one big party at the Flamingo. :blob1:

That is a very good idea! Especially since you already have really close tickets for another nite, you'll really get a great overall view of the whole show.

Exactly what I was thinking. I'd have two completely different viewpoints (and besides the tickets would be much cheaper!)

Whenever my husband goes to FM or Stevie show's with me (which is rare) but when he does go he always wants to sit quite a few rows back because he wants to see the whole stage, all the band members and the whole show, (and get his money's worth as he puts it) while I get a ticket for myself in the front row.

Annnd the flight was just booked 30 minutes ago. Kelly called me at work...I thought about it for five seconds, hopped online and purchased. I'll be there :cool:

I'm going to see which night I can get the best tickets for (hopefully the 10th) and then the next night, i'll get "crappy" seats and just enjoy the show that way. We can't stand at this theater anyway so it's not like we'll rush the stageand i'd be missing out. I'd be fine with that :nod:

Don't really mind whether or not i'm there...just didn't want to fly alone... :distress: I see how it is :p

Hooray for peer pressure :D

Those are our nights! :blob2: :blob2:

Yes yes...you, Lindsay, Kandace and Kelly as well as Nancy did a number on me. You guys are like Stevie and Jim...you're not nice. ;)

Well then I guess i'll see your Canadian ass there (and the rest of you too I would hope) :D

You betchya! :thumbsup: Paula say's I have quite the Canadian accent, she might have to translate for you eh! :laugh:

Are we going to be able to stage rush? Im kinda not feeling this show, only bc of my wallet. Also bc i dont want to be stuck in the back. Its really gonna suck if the front row is a bunch of old fckers high rollers that just sit through the whole show, and no one is able to go up to the front bc of lame security.

Well take a look at the inside of the place. This is a plush broadway theatre style arena. No one will be standing- I'm pretty sure it would be completely inappropriate. I'm just going to do whatever the people around me are doing. I don't want to ruin anyone's night by standing up the whole time. This does not seem like the kind of thing you would stand up during. That is the impression I get at least. They're not going to let five million people stand at the side of the stage. This is an actual theatre....

I agree with Christopher. By the way, I hate the people with no class who ruin everyone else's experience by being drunk, or standing in the aisles and dancing when no one else is, because it gets in the way. A little deviation fron the norm is okay, but be we need to be respectful of the others. I sure all Ledgies are very polite at concerts, but idiots do buy tickets...and beer...

Boooo!!!!!!!!
