The staff was nice, but the food wasn't very good.

Oh lordy. I really wanted to like this show, y'all. I am a bit of a Cirque aficionado. I never know whether or not to be sheepish about that, like it's a little bit weird and embarrassing? But yeah, I am kind of a Cirque fanatic. There, I said it. So anyway, uh. Zarkana. I was so excited to finally see it. It was the lynchpin of my whole trip to Vegas this time. We're going to Vegas! Why? To see Zarkana! (And do all that other stuff we like to do in Vegas, too. Like smoke everywhere yeahhhh!) I digress. I hated the show. Hated. The origin of it being a musical turned into cirquish kind of helped explain why the songs were so stupid and operatic and un-Cirque-like, at least. But that doesn't, y'know, make it okay. In a lot of cases, the sets and even the costumes actually took away from the acrobatics. I was really upset when sometimes one or more of the acrobats were obscured by parts of the set or troupe performers (I think I remember this happening during Cyr wheel). Can I also just say? This is important: worst clowns ever. EVER. I already don't like clown acts. They always seem like filler. But I'd just got done seeing Saltimbanco like a week before seeing Zarkana, and Saltimbanco had the BEST clown act ever. SO AMAZING. ACTUALLY FUNNY. So by comparison, Zarkana's terrible clowns seemed even more terrible. They need to fix all that. But honestly the whole rest of the show was so bad that I think it would be a horrible thing to do to the awesome Saltimbanco clown to put him in that show. Gah. Guys, I just don't think this show is fixable. I had such high hopes, too. On the upside, the theater is absolutely frickin' gorgeous. So my advice would be to grab a drink and wander over, and instead of buying tickets to the show, just stand in the lobby going "oooooh, pretty lights" for a couple of hours during the show. Or just stay at the video roulette table, they seem to stay kinda busy at Aria.

This is my least favorite sushi place in the valley. I think gas station sushi would have tasted better. The edamame wasn't cooked properly and had too much salt, the tuna in the Alaskan roll tasted like it came straight out of a can, and the soda was flat. The only thing that tasted okay was the water.

Was not impressed at all with this pool! The staff had no interest in helping me or anyone around us. I tried flagging them down two times to order a drink and was blown off. I then got up and stopped one in her tracks just so I could get a margarita! They also stopped serving food by 4pm. Not at all pleased with this pool experience...
