This will be my third Blue Man show (I&#8217;ve been to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blueman.com\/tickets\/new_york\">New York<\/a> and one of their <a href=\"http:\/\/howtobeamegastar.com\/\">traveling shows<\/a>), and I&#8217;m really looking forward to it. I already know I like Blue Man, and based on other Vegas shows I&#8217;ve seen (<em>Myst\u00e8re<\/em> and&nbsp;<em>K\u00c0<\/em>), it will probably be the best yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"327\" src=\"https:\/\/wysz.com\/wyszdom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/blueman-1.jpg\" alt=\"Wysz and Blue Man\" class=\"wp-image-507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wysz.com\/wyszdom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/blueman-1.jpg 400w, https:\/\/wysz.com\/wyszdom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/blueman-1-300x245.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m mostly going to Vegas for the show, practicing my &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thewysz.com\/wyszdom\/2008\/08\/do-what-you-want\/\">do what you want<\/a>&#8221; advice. I wanted to see the show, so I bought a ticket, even though I didn&#8217;t take the time to coordinate the trip with others. It will be a short trip (arrive in the afternoon, show at 7, leave at noon the next day), so the only other attraction I&#8217;m planning on seeing is the <a href=\"http:\/\/bellagio.com\/amenities\/fountains-of-bellagio.aspx\">Bellagio fountain<\/a>, which I have missed on my two other trips to Vegas. I really like fountains, so I&#8217;m actually just as excited about the free fountain show as I am about Blue Man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After hitting up the fountain at the Bellagio, I&#8217;ll probably just walk into the lobbies of the various hotels\/casinos until I get bored or run out of money.&nbsp;If you have any other suggestions for things to check out in Vegas (on the Strip so I can walk, and preferably free), let me know in the comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As previously Twittered, I&#8217;m going to visit Las Vegas on the weekend of the 27th.
