Fun and entertainment Route 66

Cirque du Soleil pays tribute to the King of Pop with a show that follows THE IMMORTAL World Tour. With 63 dancers and stuntmen and choreographies combining urban dance and hip hop, Michael Jackson ONE is one of Cirque du Soleil's latest blockbusters in Las Vegas. A great moment, about 90 minutes, to rediscover the genius of the King of the Pop... A goodie store is located outside the Michael Jackson ONE Theater.

TIX4VEGAS was particularly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic: six of its nine outlets had to close. This one, located outside the Showcase Mall, is one of the three survivors. Nevertheless, the efficiency of this box office has not been impacted by the crisis: it still offers the best prices for the many shows in Las Vegas, from Cirque du Soleil productions to the variety of shows characteristic of the city. Note that it is possible to find tickets for the same evening. Special mention to the very warm welcome.

This is probably one of the most impressive shows in Las Vegas, and the one most locals recommend. This is the show that made Cirque du Soleil's reputation in Sin City. The circular letter is used as a diminutive for "water", the theme on which the entire show is based. Swimmers, divers and dancers follow one another in a 2.5-hour aquatic ballet on a stage that turns into a swimming pool. It's a good introduction to the shows put on by this internationally renowned Quebec company, and one that rarely leaves you disappointed.

This permanent show by the hilarious Cirque du Soleil has been produced at the Mirage since 2006. Love had the good idea of not proposing a retrospective, but rather an experiment on the Beatles. Each of the Liverpool band's cult songs is illustrated by acrobatic scenes on a 360° stage, where an air of surreal poetry hovers. A multi-sensory journey that is psychedelic, captivating, immersive and technological. Spectacular, as always! At the helm: director Dominic Champagne.

Three blue-skinned, black-clad percussionists engage in strange experiments on stage: playing tom-tom while spraying themselves with acrylic, gobbling up as many marshmallows as possible without choking, developing a musical tune while crunching cereal, making a canvas by spitting paint... The show is punctuated by long drum riffs on piping systems. This show is perfect for a family outing. To enjoy the show and have the best view, it is advisable to take seats in rows A and B.

In the movie Coyote Girls, sexy barmaids dance on the bar, taking gentlemen's heads between their legs and sticking a bottle of booze in their mouths. The Coyote Ugly tries its hand at this game! Also worth noting is the decor, with dozens of bras hanging from the ceiling - beware of a stiff neck! Like most Las Vegas clubs, the Coyote Ugly offers numerous theme nights throughout the year, including a Halloween costume contest. The club can accommodate up to 350 guests.

A long table welcomes the colourful crowd of Wicker Park, in a debonair atmosphere. "Bangers" means sausage and "Lace" is the layer of foam that must be obtained on a pint. You have understood the motto: beer and hot dogs. The atmosphere is good-natured. A purely chicagoan evening in perspective under the golden ceiling and between the brick walls of this superb hangar, tastefully and eclectically renovated (just look at the deer heads hanging on the wall).

At Whistler, the people are handsome, the waiters are pleasant, the DJs are talented and the cocktails are evil! Certainly one of the best bars in Chicago, located in a rather quiet area and frequented mainly by locals. Free and good quality live music concerts are organised on a regular basis, and we enjoy attending them in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, with a cheap but tasty beer in our hands. There is an inner courtyard, which can be enjoyed during the summer months. Whistler is definitely our little favorite.

Really a place like no other! To get there you have to go to a laundry and nothing, absolutely nothing else, indicates that you are at the right address. You really have to go into the laundry and push the back door and here you are at the entrance of a magic show room... And it's indeed magical from the moment you enter: dimmed lights, cosy room and stage with a big red curtain do the rest. Various magicians will parade by while you dine comfortably seated. Between two shows, artists play live. A superb address!

Located in the chic Peninsula Hotel, this bar is one of Chicago's trendiest. It overlooks the famous Michigan Avenue, and its superb rooftop is perfect for sunny days. Inside, the lights are subdued, the decor is uncluttered, and you can enjoy excellent cocktails prepared by real pros, along with stylish tapas and delicious sushi. The clientele is made up of young forty-somethings from Chicago, as well as posh people who stay at the Peninsula, where rooms are priced to the eye... A great place for a drink and a snack!

Federales, also present in Dallas and Denver, showcases Mexican cocktails and cuisine. Don't be fooled by its subdued street art ambience, this place will turn up the heat as soon as the DJ takes over the decks. There are plenty of tables to sit around, and a central bar, making for an open, unpretentious space - as evidenced by the humorous phrases about our relationship with alcohol. Self-service fresh water, draught beers... And excellent mango margaritas. The terrace closes around midnight.

Located close to the famous Angels Flight Railway, La Cita - French for "the rendezvous" - takes its customers on a Latin American evening. Originally Mexican, this friendly bar plays a mix of cumbia - a type of music and dance from Colombia - 1990s hip-hop, salsa and reggaeton. There's a good-natured atmosphere: here, people dance without judgment, whatever their level. There's no shortage of people to meet on the patio, the beer is cold and the guinguette atmosphere is very pleasant.

This tiny, exotic bar, where tiki kitsch reigns - a fashion inspired by Hawaiian style in the 1950s - has been around since 1961. Nothing, or almost nothing, has changed: the cocktails - for which the recipes have always been the same - are fruity and devilishly measured, the glasses are carved from fake totem poles, and smoking was still the order of the fifties until recently. Around the counter, loaded with gurgling fountains and figurines of mermaids and wahines, are many aficionados of the tiki style, looking as if they'd stepped out of an old Hollywood film.

Opening on July 4, 2023, The Sphere is Las Vegas' newest attraction. This giant ball represents the excessiveness of Sin City, with its giant 15,000^m2 screen (16K resolution), 170,000 speakers and haptic seats. The venue can accommodate up to 19,000 people for concerts, shows and projections. The band U2 opened in October with a show that fans won't forget. The outside facade is a spectacle in itself, with a 53,000^m2 screen broadcasting continuous images. An unforgettable outing.

S Bar (Mandalay Bay) welcomes you to a cosy, chic setting. This establishment offers a variety of lounge experiences with copper tones, luxurious drapes, plush seating and a polished black marble bar adorned with iconic artworks by Terry O'Neill, one of the world's most collected photographers. The S Bar offers a few dishes if you're feeling a little hungry, but it's above all the many spirits, cocktails (with a few house specialties) and other wines that will seduce you.

The creators of the excellent show Absinthe - the Spiegeworld company - are responsible for the quirky asteroid that is OPM. What's it all about? The space shuttle OPM73 and its zany crew are drifting between Uranus and Earth. So much for the pitch. For almost 75 minutes, the numbers fly by, punctuated by the groovy, electric music of a talented orchestra and the sexy interventions of a singer who has all the makings of a Cosmic Girl. A fun, rock'n'roll show that's a true declaration of love for SF films and B-movies.

The Museum Club is an icon in Flagstaff. It was a certain Dean Eldredge, taxidermist, who created this large wooden cabin in 1931. When he died, many of the naturalized animals were sold. Nevertheless, some of them still remain and are still admired by customers. Over the years, this establishment has been bought by music lovers. People come here to have a drink and listen to jazz or country music in a typical American West atmosphere. The establishment is part of the historical sites of the 66.

The best bowling alley in town! In fact, it's much more than just a bowling alley, it's an institution in its own right: thirty-six lanes, a high-tech system of baffles, smoking machines... Groups come here to throw the balls along the gutters and hit the strike, and to enjoy the overexcited atmosphere of the crowd. On Friday and Saturday nights, the place is full, but you can reserve your place by phone (but you'll be charged extra). Don't forget that Diversey River Bowl's other name is "Rock'n Bowl"!
