Las Vegas, Nevada

The main purpose of the trip was to see Cirque De Soleil performance with my cousin Igor. And for him to see Las Vegas. So, we drove there after seeing the Grand Canyon.
We went to see Love (The Beatles) show by Cirque De Soleil at the Mirage theater. Created by French designer Jean Rabasse, the Love theater at The Mirage houses 6,341 speakers and 2,013 seats set around a central stage. Each seat is fitted with three speakers, including a pair in the headrest. The stage includes nine lifts and eight automated tracks and trolleys.
Video images on two walls above the audience on two sides of the auditorium emphasize elements of the show and provide transitions. High-definition projectors also create enormous images on four translucent screens that can be unfurled to divide the auditorium.

We also managed to see David Copperfield's performance on the same night by catching a taxi and making it there at the speed of light.
