Quite frankly, I was reminded a bit of Idiocracy -- it seemed that a fair bit of the entertainment was designed for those who would be entranced by, "Ow, my Balls!").
So what am I missing? I didn't not enjoy the show -- there was much to appreciate and admire -- but it's one of the first times I've left a Las Vegas "spectacular" feeling particularly unsatisfied.
I've passed on several opportunities to see BMG. I have no idea what the show is about, other than what I've seen on the hotel channel in the room. Not appealing to me. All that drum banging, for example. If I need drum banging, I'll take in a gaucho show. $142 is a ridiculous price. Part and parcel of the new, improved, and over-priced Vegas scene. I take a Venetian/Palazzo comp (my money) for Phantom, or something else, over BMG.
