While in Vegas, my husband and I went to Planet Holywood Casino to see Marc Savard - hypnotist, it was very enjoyable.

Blue Man is a real "love it or hate it" show- it will depend entirely on your sensibilities. Check out the 1300+ reviews on tripadvisor and you'll see that nobody can agree!

TripAdvisor has a list of shows and other Vegas attractions, listed in order by top rated by other travelers. This will probably be more helpful than an opinion of only a couple of people here who may or may not have the same interests as you. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g45963-Activities-Las_Vegas_Nevada.html

I wouldn't see Blue Man in Vegas if only because that show is not unique to Vegas. You can see it in several other cities. I would try to see something that you can't necessarily see elsewhere.

Chowhound.com is the best place to look for recommended restaurants. Yelp.com is also decent where you can sort by best reviewed, price range, type of food, etc.

Seriously, BOOMER1, do you actually know someone who hated Blue Man?

OP, all of the BIG NAME shows on The Strip are "worth the money" to most people. They wouldn't play to sell-out crowds year after year, if they weren't.


Finding restaurants in Las Vegas that charge less than $100/meal/person is not hard. A lot of the price will depend on how much you drink with your meal. All of the big resorts have a variety of restaurants catering to all palettes and budgets. Numerous rating sites on the web can help. Most of the restaurants publish menus on the internet.

Places I like (I was just out there over New Years):

Nine Fine Irishmen at New York New York
Vintner Grill off The Strip
Stacks at Mirage
Hugo's Cellar at 4 Queens on Fremont Street

In Las Vegas, even “Fine Dining” tends to be an informal affair.

Have a great time.

We saw "O" in October and it was wonderful. After the show we has a great meal at the French restaurant on the street side of Paris Paris.

I actually know of several people who didn't like Blue Man. But of course that doesn't mean the OP won't. I still think it's not worth it to see it in Vegas given the variety of other shows available.

#4- yes, ME plus the 300 one star reviewers (1*=terrible) on tripadvisor...

I would recommend Absynthe if it is still on - was playing in the Spiegeltent located in front of Caesars Palace. it's a cabaret show with the most amazing acrobats and circus style performers in the tiniest space that only enhances the dram of it all. Not expensive either, especially if you purchace via Halftix
