Las Vegas 3 -- Zumanity By Circque Du Soleil

I spent 76 dollars to watched a show in Vegas. It is a must-do to watch a performance in any of the hotel/casinos . We were pampered with lots of choices of shows. From highly musical one like Phantom of the opera to the magical David Copperfield and Chris Angel , to the sexiest show = Zumanity.
Zumanity is one out of the 5 shows by cirque du soleil ( circus of the sun ) that is performed in vegas. It is quoted as " the other side of cirque du soleil " and it is the " most sensual and sexy " one.


Well , the show is spectacular . The lighting , the stage ,the live band and all the stage effects. It is not describable by words . THe whole show lasted about 2 hours and i have had the most amazing 2 hours of my life. Like the director of the show said , zumanity is the "celebration of sensuality, nudity, and various body shapes and sizes "

It is not allowed to take photos during the show , so if you want to have a look of the stage , go to this link http://www.cirquetribune.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=10&pos=133 .

The whole show combines sex with arts . Sensuality and Sexuality is all the shows about. I never imagine a show can be soooooo stunning . I have some trailers that i found on youtube. Please watch it ... it is really nice.





Zumanity did perform in TV , but because TV has greater variety audiences , some obscure scenes was not shown , like lesbian and gay scene . Furthermore , many of the nude and topless performances are not shown too.

The live band , if you notice , is superb. Every songs you heard is played live. But more amazingly , the singer of the show is the best singer i ever heard singing live. You can see it in one of the highlight of the show , the hoop girl. This girl 's name is Julia , she was nearly topless in the show in vegas. In this video , they are performing on-stage in some other theater in Hollywood , SO the stage is nowhere near the one in Vegas .



Nearing the end of the show there's one section where they will have this "Orgy party" ... They will ask most of the performaners on-stage and start mimic sexs ... They will invite 2 audiences from the crowd and join them . Complements by the Pink and Red lights of the theater , it is really really .... dunno how to say . That day they invited a housewifes from England , 60 years old. She's really having great fun up there , squeezing the male's breasts and butts like a super desperate housewifes. Laugh till the whole theater tak boleh tahan.

Here's one of the example I found in youtube .



That's all for now ... I really can't describe how fantastic and stunning was the show... If you are interested , you can look for more in Youtube. THere's this one with 2 girls performing in a big bowl ... that's really artistic and beautiful. Maybe the most beautiful bodies i ever seen in my life ...

Till then , bye .

-- Las Vegas --

Hi how's all of ya ~

I just came back from vegas and wanna share some photos with yall .

Vegas is not merely a place full of casinos . It is a place full with Entertainments. You never know what entertainment fully means before you witness Las Vegas. It is a sophisticated , romantic , highly entertaining megacity. To be honest , I spent less than 10% of my time in vegas loitering and losing my money in casinos .

LAs vegas is a very big city , but if you are looking for the most happening place in Vegas , the Las Vegas Strip is the one for you. Las Vegas Strip is one long long street , about 4 KM from one end to the other . along the street are many 5 stars hotel and casinos. To explore all of the hotels , I spent 3 full days and nights. Every hotel/casino has their own themes. Each of them has their own featured shows too.

On the way to vegas . Las Vegas is sitting right in a desert. It took me 5 hours to reach LV from Grand Canyon. We passed thru deserts along the way. LV is super hot .. 40 degrees at noon , and 38 at night. It gets even hotter when the wind blows .



I went LV with 4 of my friends. We "lompang" a tour bus from canyon to LV. It is night when we reached LV. Its pretty amazing , almost unbelievable when we saw LV from afar. Just imagine you see sea of lights in the middle of a desert. The hotel we staying is called " Excalibur " . It 's theme is "castle and knights " .





We then starts exploring the LV strip from one end to the other.


Next we saw is Bellagio hotel . It has a 8 acre lake infront of it. Bellagio hotel's theme is Water and luxury. The special thing about bellagio hotel is its fountain show which starts in noon till midnight . IT shows every 15 minutes and changes songs everytime.




























Next hotel we see is the "Paris" hotel. The theme of the hotel , obviously , is Paris. It has all the statue , carved wall , fountains that can be found in france , and of coz , the Eifel tower. This replica of Eiffel tower is of the exact thing , but 1/2 the size . Anyway it looks beautiful and tall enough even in its halved size.












Next up is Caesar's Palace . It 's building is themed on Old Roman's culture. There are lots of sculpture of the God and Goddess in Roman time.




This is the shopping complex attached to the hotel , it is called "the forum shops". There are lots of clubs , bars and restaurants inside too. The sculptures looks pretty stunning at nights. Sure they kill lots of camera memory from the tourist.




This is the lobby of the hotel. A big round hall with very beautiful wall paintings and lightings.



The 3 goddess that overlook the whole hotel lobby. Cool ~



The next hotel/casino is one of my favourite. It is called " Venetian" . The hotel is built to resembles Venice . It kinda looks like a floating city . Venetian is the host of the " phantom of the opera" show. It has a 40 million dollar custom made theather just for showing phantom of the opera. Too bad i didn't have time to watch the show here ....















The walkway in the hotel .



This is the "Luxor " hotel . With the theme of egypt . The big pyramid is really a hotel . It is really big inside with all the writtings and paintings of ancient egypt . See the half lion man ( dunno what the name lar ) ? The tip of the pyramid will shoots off very strong green laser light at night , and the whole pyramid will shines at night.






NExt is MGM . Dont be fooled by this photo. MGM Grand is a very Grand hotel . The bronze lion sculpture is the biggest bronze sculpture in north america. This hotel has 30 something real lions .. there is a big human-make garden where they will let those trained lions show themselves during the day.



THis is the "New York New York" hotel. As you can see ... it is a manhattan city in small scale. I watched its show .. It is called "Zumanity " by circque du soleil . I will write more on that ... Anyway , notice the roller coastal tracks surrounding the whole hotel ? It's awesome !

More to come ...
