Bette Midler question
Wanting to take the Mrs to a show at the end of Jan.
I see that the show starts at 7.30 but is Midler on stage at 7.30? We land at 6.30 that day so it will be a mad rush.
Also how long does the show last and does it matter where I sit?
Thannks in advance.

Wow- you re cutting it close.
The opening sequence(and it is a sequence)is great and really sets the tone for the show.
I don't think it started right on time-but I would not be too late if you want full impact.
Sit as close as you can after row five.
center is better of course.

Its possible if your plane is on time (or early), you don't check bags (it can take up 40 min for the first bag to hit the carousel), if you have a driver waiting (taxi line 0-15 min), and if you go directly from the airport to the Colosseum (don't check into your room, the hike to the room in Caesars is pretty long).
If anything goes wrong, you're toast.
The show is 90 min and it started right on time when we went.
I'd change your flight to something earlier if I were you.

Thanks all.
We are coming in on British Airways. I figure we will have no bags to check which should make it easier. I think it will be a gamble if we make the start of the show, hence what I will spend on tickets would not be as great as if I new I would be on time.
Thanks for the advice

And it ALWAYS matters where you sit.
