Almost forgot!
While in Vegas we also went to two shows, both at the Wynn. On Monday night we went to Le Reve, and Tuesday we saw SPAMALOT.
Le Reve, was the typical Las Vegas spectacular, with lots of acrobatics on, in and above the water. It was enjoyable, and Edie enjoyed it much more than I did, but that type of show just isn't my cup of tea. The best part of the show was the Champagne and chocolate covered strawberries we were served at the beginning of the show.
SPAMALOT was much better. It had some sort of story, albeit a mild one, which gave you something to follow, and provided enough funny satire to keep it interesting.
The only problem with SPAMALOT was the loud woman, sitting next to me, who literally seemed to think the simple act of actors walking out on the stage, or a scene change, was just as hilarious as the actual scenes. She was so loud and obnoxious, it almost ruined the play for me, but fortunately, the show was still worth the effort.

I felt like the people around us that were laughing at the show were not true Monty Pyton fans. I have seen the Holy Grail enough that I have every single line memorized. I could see each joke coming a mile away and I was disappointed when they didn't deliver the joke properly.
To me, it was similar to a person discovering The Beatles by listening to "Stars on 45".
I do understand that my point of view is jaded by being an extreme fan.
