Rock of Ages Las Vegas (Closed)

nullThis is probably the best Las Vegas show I have been to in a very long time. It is also one of the longest. I enjoyed every minute of the 130 minutes and I left wanting more.

The show is a celebration and tribute the music and culture of the 80’s. It is performed on a very well designed stage with great lighting and sound effects.  The backdrop morphs to match the scene or song. Big screens on the sides of the stage play appropriate clips or effects.

Taste of Pike Place Food Tour

nullDowntown Seattle is a hodge-podge of old and new, trendy and laid back. The best way to enjoy this medley of sights and sounds is to just start walking. See the main Seattle page here.

If you are new to Seattle, try to join a walking tour or a food tasting tour to learn from local experts.

 I went on the “Taste Pike Place” tour with Show Me Seattle the very first day I arrive in Seattle. It was a great way to learn about one of the most well-known attractions in town and to taste some delicious food.

This 300-acre oasis, managed by the Irvine Ranch Water District, represents a triumphant story of transformation, having been converted from a series of saltwater and freshwater marshes into a thriving habitat for wildlife.
