3/5/2008 Mamma Mia at Mandalay Bay

Today we went to the half-price, day-of-show sales office which is right next door to our hotel. They had a long list of shows for which they had tickets available, most of which didn't appeal to us or were only offering discounted tickets or that at half-off were still too expensive. But they did have tickets for Mamma Mia and that was what we chose. The performance was at Mandalay Bay which is waaaaaaay at the end of the new strip and very far from our hotel. We took a cab ($17) and went straight to the box office because we were only guaranteed that we'd have seats on the main floor, but not where they would be or if they would be together. Turned out that we got there in time to get 3 seats together that were really good. Yea! Then we wandered around the hotel. This is the "Race and Sports Book" section. It almost looks like the control center at NASA, but it's really just a bunch of monitors displaying tons of different sporting events and a bunch of displays of the odds. There was some interesting people watching, too. (You can't go anywhere in Vegas without some interesting people watching.)
