Rio says, "Goodbye" to the Show in the Sky.
I'm pretty sure
anyone who is familiar with Las Vegas probably is a tiny bit familiar
with the Rio's 'Show in the Sky'. If not, the show has been taking
place in the Rio Hotel in Casino since 1997.
The show is Mardi Gras themed, and
consists of multiple neon, mechanical floats that 'float' through the
air. Entertainers, as well as two dozen occupants, dance upon the
floats and throw the familiar but gaudy masquerade beads down to the
spectators below. The floats take a trip around the casino,
displaying the casino floor and the Rio's 'Masquerade Village'.
So even
if you don't take part in being on the float themselves, you can most
likely enjoy yourself watching the show and collecting shiny beaded
necklaces. The Show in the Sky performs every Thursday through
Saturday, from 6 pm until 11 pm. It honestly is a pretty cool
attraction when you think about it. Plus, its fairly kid friendly and
doesn't involve topless, drunk college girls as the traditional Mardi
Gras does. I'd consider that pretty damn kid friendly for it being
Las Vegas.
Sad to
say though, that next month the Show in the Sky will be performing
its last show on Saturday, March 30th at 11 pm. Caesars Entertainment
recently disclosed that they are in fact shutting the show down for
good. They didn't disclose their reasoning on exactly why the show
must come to an end, nor did they state what it will later become.
Still kid friendly? Ehh... they do what they can.
At least the Rio is generous enough to
refund fully those who bought tickets in advance for the Show in the
Sky after its closing date. It is always sad to see an old show go,
but at least there is still time to see the show before then.
Remember, you aren't necessarily required to spend money on the show
itself to have fun! At least collect yourself some beads as a fond
memory of a fun show.
