Best Show in Las Vegas: Jersey Boys

Last night I took my wife to see Jersey Boys at the Palazzo here in Las Vegas for Valentine's Day, and I must say this is the best show I have seen to date.  I don't want to spoil it for anybody who wants to see it, but there is a lot of great music history I learned about regarding Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.  For example, did you know Joe Pesci was partially responsible for bringing this supergroup together?  

The song for our first wedding dance was Valli's Can't Take My Eyes Off You, so Jersey Boys had extra meaning for us.  However, this show is so well done that I think anybody who appreciates music would enjoy it immensely.  I would definitely recommend seeing it on your next trip to Vegas ahead of anything else.

The Palazzo itself is also a very fun place to hang out.  My wife won over $100 playing slots, and we had dinner before the show at Mario Batali's Carnevino Italian Steakhouse.  If you are going to hang out anywhere on the Strip, you have to check out the Palazzo and Venetian.

It's definitely nice to take a break from the Forums sometimes and enjoy the finer points of living here in Vegas.  It's even nicer to take your mind off handicapping for a bit and then come home to see you've cashed your Underdog Play O' the Week with an easy 10-point SU winner :)
