This was the Vegas trip of shows! Typically my Vegas trips are wild weekends with the girls - lounging by the pool during the day, and going out clubbing at night. However, this December, our trip down to Sin City was prompted by the reunion tour of none other than the Spice Girls! I kid you not... Ashley entered the ticket lottery and received a code for the Las Vegas show - not only did we
get tickets but at the best location! Four plane tickets later, and we were on our way... We arrived in Las Vegas late Thursday night, and spent the majority of Friday cruising the strip, shopping, showing off the city to our Vegas newbie Carrie. My dad called us around 3 and said, he had been given 5 tickets to Celine Dion from her theatre's manager! We weren't planning on going to 2 concerts that weekend.
..but hey, why not? We got dressed up, drove down to Caesar's Palace and met up with my dad. Our seats turned out to be AMAZING, we were in the 6th row, center, on the floor. It felt as though she was singing directly to us, and she looked absolutely stunning, her outfits are exquisite! Our show was one of her last performances, wrapping up her 5 year "A New Day Has Come" tour. She was somewhat emotional during the performance, saying that the people in her show have become a family, and these 6 final shows are exciting but heartbreaking at the same time. Overall we had an amazing time, and left the theatre belting out her songs as we walked through the casino. Then for the much anticipated c
oncert: Spice Girls! Unfortunately we weren't sitting quite as close as we had been in Celine, but nonetheless, an AWESOME concert, it was all I hoped it would be! The Spice Girls sta
rted out with (what else) "Spice Up Your Life!" And as you can imagine, the crowd was mostly twenty something girls - like
ourselves - dancing and singing along to every word. There were a lot
of special effects, and wardrobe changes, they opened in their new Roberto Cavalli designed outfits, but even hearkened back to updated versions of their former alter-ego's: Posh, Scary, Baby, Sporty, and Ginger. They played from about 9:15 - 11:00 covering all the greatest hits, the singles from their solo albums, and a few candid songs from their movie. The finale was AMAZING, glitter rained down as they sang "Wannabe" and then finished with a rousing chorus of "Spice Up Your Life." It was picture perfect, I couldn't have asked for anything more!
