I Like That Old Time Rock 'n' Roll

When I found out that Bob Seger was touring again, and he would be playing in Las Vegas, it was time to go!!  I first saw Bob, in person, in Columbia, MO in 1969.  My college roommate was friends with him and some members of his band...she suggested we walk over to Mizzou and look for them.  We ended up spending the day with them as they set up equipment for their concert that night.  We got front row seats, and Bob asked me what song I would like to hear.  I said, "Heavy Music!"  That evening, Bob dedicated the song to me.  A MOMENT in my life that I will never forget.  It has been 46 years, and I was ready to rock again.  We arrived in Las Vegas on Thursday...Eden and Dan flew in on Saturday to attend the concert with us.  So, here is a recap of our adventures in LV.

                                        Billboard at the airport...perfect greeting!

                                       At the Dale Chihuly gallery...

                                        We go to Vegas to EAT...Bobby Flay's burger joint...

                                         Cirque du Soleil...Zarkana...fantastic!

                                         At the Bellagio, the conservatory is decorated for Chinese New Year...the year of the ram.

                                       Before they announced no photography of the show...Cirque du Soleil "O"...the water added such an unbelievable element to the already spectacular performance.  How do they do that?? The pool fills and empties, during the show, allowing the swimmers to perform and then creating a stage for the other characters. 

                                        Saturday night at Mandalay Bay...11,000 senior citizens (plus Eden and Dan) got a little rowdy.  Bob was in fine voice,  he seemed so happy to be performing...we enjoyed every note!!
