Royally Flushed

Head for Planet Hollywood to catch the new "Peepshow" starring Mel B of Spice Girls fame.

With all the outrageous Las Vegas hotel deals (Last minute Vegas values at Expedia.com!) available this spring and summer now is a great time to plan on using some of the cash you’ll save on the room by booking a seat at one of the new shows in town.

At Planet Hollywood, the new “Peepshow” starring Mel B — aka “Scary Spice” from the pop group The Spice Girls — along with soap actress Kelly Monaco from ABC’s “General Hospital” is garnering good reviews since it opened earlier this month.  Part burlesque, part fantasy, the show features lots of lingerie-sporting dancing girls, exuberant singing numbers and a loose storyline.  Hotel packages are available that combine show tickets with room discounts, free slot play and more.  Ticket prices alone begin at $65 and go up to $175 each for VIP table seating.  Check out Planet Hollywood’s website here.

Coming to the Las Vegas Strip in May is the popular Broadway hit “The Lion King” which will open at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino.  The Tony® Award-winning Broadway sensation that Newsweek calls “a landmark event in entertainment” will begin regular performances on May 18th.  (Previews begin May 5 and run on select dates through the May 17th opening night.)  Ticket prices range from $53 to $168.50.  Visit Mandalay Bay’s site for more info.

Also, when you visit Mandalay Bay, check out the Beachside Casino, a brand new three-story venue with dining, gaming and more overlooking the resort’s world-famous pool area.  The second floor features Blackjack, roulette and craps where casual beach attire is preferred and encouraged and even the dealers are dressed for a fun-filled day at the beach.
