Who would see Stevie in Vegas again? - Page 2

I absolutely agree! It could have been so much more spectacular. But, when she said "2 months ago" that she'd come to see Celine and Elton and get ideas for the show, that made me think they just didn't have the time to put something huge together. But, if she thinks that the hours she referred to going through all the old videos and home movies and then just showing loops of her dancing is not going to be a let down, she's in cuckoo land!

It was a horribly expensive trip (2 nights at the Luxor!!), and my feet, legs, back are going to need time to recover. If there is a next time, and it's a better visual show, I'll make the trip - fly in, see it, get out asap.

Perhaps all these posts will filter back to her people and they'll spend more time and effort in future.

Absolutely! Any opportunity to see Stevie Nicks, lose the farm on the slot machines and eat fantastic food is time well spent to me!

... and don't forget "All The Same", you and I are doing the merch and set design for her next Vegas run!

next time i go, and i pray that there are many 'next times,' i will stay at a cheaper hotel or split with more people (now that i've met a few of you). i really don't feel like i spent an immense amount of money on this, at least i don't feel like i spent too much? as i figure it, i've spent far more for much less.

the financially retarded person that i am tells me that i can do this twice a year, and i only hope that the opportunity presents itself so frequently.

Yeah, I'm feeling like, "no problem, I can swing it!" But when I really thought about what I spent it came to about $1000. I budgeted $100 a day for spending money and spent every dime. Vegas is expensive! I saved a butt load on the hotel though by sharing with 3 other fabulous ladies which I would also do again in a heartbeat.

I am quiet and I don't drink or do clubs. I also don't have hundreds of dollars to spend on the stores that they have out there, too. I like bargains! The walking was insane, too! I will need to bring a spare set of feet if I do go next time.

Girl, you are like, my twin. LOL I am quiet too, don't drink or like loud clubs. Bargains, woohoo!! I remember walking in Vegas with my parents back in 1998. We were out until 1AM...sheebus, the walking! I wear tennis shoes, so it was okay, but still.

P.S. Sharing rooms totally rules...it's cheaper and more fun. Ledgies going to events and becoming friends is greatness and works out sometimes regarding costs.

I spent a lot of money, but it was worth it and YES I'd go again.

I'm hoping she does another stint there - like, in the fall maybe. I'm going to California then, and Vegas isn't that far...

I was disappointed there wasn't a little more variation in the setlist, but I'd go, based on the fabulous reviews from people. Also, I know, no matter what, I'd have an amazing time. I love Stevie too much. She could never disappoint me in concert.

I agree. I think I would try it if I lived closer to Vegas, but the whole atmosphere isn't my thing at all. I don't like clubs and even though I do like to drink I really only like to do it at home and in relative moderation.

I'd do it again for sure... This time I'd do more then one show though... But I agree with pretty much everyone... They need to spend a little cashola on the vids and the set design and hire a real designer. I think the short amount of time she had between agreeing to perform and performing caused the lack of use of the vid screen, [which by the way, I just read in the Vegas magazine from the hotel room], the Coliseum has the largest LED screen in North America at the back of the stage which Celine and Elton use. Celine obviously had a designer, and if anyone didn't know - David LaChappelle designed Eltons set-up (he's the guy that took the cover photo for The Dance, and also the colourfull, yet bizarre, Stevie photo where she's holding that umbrella... Anyway... If she could hire THAT guy to put something together, I could see her going back once or even twice a year... That would be (I think) really cool... And I'd definetly go back.

Interestingly, she put effort into the images used. I mean she had to buy the right to use B&B in her show and someone had to edit and format it. She also used the scenes from that Tom Cruise movie about the unicorns, which required the same. The glass looking faces were also photos of scultures we say in a shop next to the 40 foot tall David. So, she put effort into it. I just think that while it was cool, it could have been cooler. Of course, I think everything can always be cooler

I think she put effort into it as well. My main problems were those floating columns

and that animated dove. But vocally, she was so strong, I didn't mind so much.

When I first saw them coming down, I thought they were the ship pipes from Celine's Titanic set

What do you mean Strandie? She put NO effort into this entire gig.

I enjoyed the show and liked most of what she did on the screens. The set was fine imho. I would have loved Civil War Stand Back or something but that is my dream or fantasy and apparently not what Stevie wanted for her show.

CreepingDeath · #30 05-16-2005, 07:46 PM

I would in a heartbeat. No questions asked.

Since I live in Vegas, I don't think I could stand not to go when she's in town.
