March 24, 2018 by Tom Bentley2 Comments

Naturally there's an expansive casino, where rollers high and low can thrill to the spin of the wheel and the flip of the cards. There's the Shark Reef Aquarium, which has plenty of teeth (piranha tank, anyone?) to sink your sights into, plus stages plumb-filled with stars, like Nashville Unplugged, where stories mix with songs … [Read more...]

Sick in Scotland

February 21, 2018 by Dave5 Comments

After I left the bus from the airport I didn't have much energy to look further - summoning the last bit of … [Read more...]

Cirque du Soleil’s “O” – A Wondrous Water World

February 16, 2018 by Tom BentleyLeave a Comment

I have to release the joke from the top: Cirque du Soleil’s “O” is a wholly immersive experience. Yes, “O,” (a phonetic rendering of the French eau for “water,”) is a water world: water is the flowing stage—often the literal stage—of the mesmerizing theatrics and flourishes of acrobats and dancers, trapeze artists and contortionists, clowns and lovers, all jumping into, out of, on top of and below the enormous pool, in which water is the most … [Read more...]
