Phantom @ The Venetian

Have I mentioned that my hubby is my Sugar Daddy? He got more free tickets for another Vegas show!!! This time to see The Phantom, my favorite! When we first moved here, he took me because he knows I obsess over The Phantom of the Opera. He got me 2nd row seats! It was awesome! I have also trained Noah to love it too. He sings all the songs and requests watching the movie periodically and loves listening to the CD. So...Frank said that I HAD to take Noah. He knew he would have a good time. He told me we had to dress up to get the whole broadway experience. No argument here!

Venetian Hotel where The Phantom is played.
Noah and I waiting on our tickets.

More waiting. :) We had some spare time so we walked around the hotel.

This is the front balcony.

Notice the gondola behind us. Noah wanted to get on, but I told him we would have to do that another time. Who doesn't want to ride romantically through the hotel being serenaded by an Italian?

This is the center court. It's supposed to be Venice.

Doesn't it look like we're outside? Well, we're not. The ceiling is painted to give the effects that we are, though. It's soooo cool!

Here is another.

You can't go to Venice without gelato. Yum!!!

Noah was a little shy about taking a photo with the jackel.

However, he threw this live, human statue some money so he could pose with him.

I don't know how they stand still for so long...crazy!

We snagged these street singers and got a shot with them too.

Noah was in the mood for more junk...this time a cinnamon and sugar pretzel.

Finally, it was time for the show!

I only got one shot off inside the Theatre before I was told I couldn't take pictures, so I had to settle for Noah's eyes being closed. :(
Noah had a great time! He was clapping and yelling, "Bravo! Bravo!" at the conclusion. I don't even know how he knew to say that. LOL He also said he wanted to act and be the Phantom when he grows up. I told him to practice.

Afterwards, we poked our fingers in the glass waterfall. Fun!

And, Noah threw coins in the wishing well.

The Venetian is one of my favorite hotels down on the strip. These photos show the elegance of it. These are shots from inside. Again, it looks like you're outside, but you're not. It is the coolest thing! I love it!
