How come there are no more good shows in Las Vegas? -

Ever since 2003, there have been NO good shows in Vegas! Anyone else think so?

Ever since Siegfried and Roy left, vegas has never been the same!

There was an attempt to make Las Vegas into Broadway West, but it failed pretty badly. But there are still some decent offerings (1) Jersey Boys, (2) Phantom of the Opera, (3) The Lion King. The Cirque Du soleil shows keep multiplying. 1) Mystere, 2) O 3) Love 4) Criss Angel 5) Ka 6) Zumanity, and 7) Viva Elvis, along with La Reve by one of the founders of Cirque Du Soleil.

that s up to personal taste.I think there s been plenty of awesome shows to name the newest, KA by cirque du soleil is pretty incredible. I haven t heard one bad review from friends or family that have seen it.but if your taste is more the old style glam and glitz type shows, then I think you may be out of luck because the direction of Vegas entertainment is moving away from that style.

Siegfried and Roy was a good show but there are still good shows in Vegas. Jersey Boys and Cirque du Soleil: Love are both good show. And if you have never seen the Blue Man group they are well worth your time.

Danny Gans was very good before his death, but Cirque du Soliel shows are hot or miss.

jersey boys and blue man group may change your mind about there beingno more good shows in las vegas.

Remember Gallagher?

Would a California boy like it at MIT? -

I from the bay in California, thinkin about MIT. I never been to the snow. I know you dont know me, but do you think i could like it there??

Besides the snow, the fact that it s in Massachusetts is really irrelevant.The fact is that MIT is a very competitive, nerdy university. Your academic qualifications in high school would put you near the bottom of the MIT incoming class (assuming you get in) and it s going to be very difficult for you to survive and do well. So I don t think you will like it. But, like you said, none of us know you, so we can t really say.

If that s the case you ll probably fit in pretty well in an academic sense. I m from Cambridge and a high school dropout from my hometown probably as more of an academic strip than your average Los Angeleno with a degree.That being said, you probably will have a tough time of it socially outside school, and you ll definitely have a tough time getting adjusted to the speed of life. Even if you re assertive and aggressive by SF standards, you have seen NOTHING till you ve seen the 8am morning rush at Downtown Crossing. Also, people are the inverse of those here: people here are friendlier from the get-go, but are probably more apt to be disingenuous when it comes down to the wire. People there are more blunt and stanoffish or guarded from the get go, but at the end of the day, more people have your back than you had any idea.If you do go there, go to HiFi Pizza on Mass Ave. Local institution. Oh, and forget decent Mexican food :(

If my daughter who went to high school in LA thrived in college in Pittsburgh, a San Francisco guy will do fine in Cambridge.My daughter looked at MIT and Harvard and did not like the overall vibe of the place. She felt Pittsburgh was a more interesting place.

I don t think you would like it there. Not so much because of the snow, but because of the slush. Really no need to worry, though.If you write like that, you not goin MIT anyhow.

Where can i hike to the hollywood sign? -

hollywood sign in los angeles california

You can t hike to it... you can get near it by going to Griffith Park and you can get a nice view of it (and L.A. at that) at the Griffith Observatory...

You can near it but not to it. They locked it off a long time ago. Too much vandalism and too many suicides.

Does anyone know where you can get a street map of Phenix City Alabama? -

I need a detailed street map of Phenix City Alabama and surrounding area

If you are looking online, there is Yahoo, MapQuest, Google Maps, etc. I know Yahoo and Google have a feature where you can overlay recent satellite photos over the maps...

Is san fransisco a bad area. does it have any bad areas? -

I like the Tenderloin. :( It has some of the weirdest little shops and best hidden gem restaurants in the city. It s, um, colorful , but I wouldn t call it a bad area. Per my usual rant, it also contains a good portion of the Academy of Arts, so lots of students, and one of the highest ratios of children in the city... not things you d associate with a bad neighborhood. Also has lots of bars so, while possibly loud/annoying, is pretty heavy traffic (and very mixed, at that). Typically, the people who hate it haven t really explored it... just been scared off my some ranting junkie (who likely wasn t even ranting at them) and decided it s bad . The Lower Haight is actually fine, too. Not as interesting, but again... 20-something middle-class hipsters don t typically equate to bad neighborhood (if anything, it s been overly gentrified in recent years). Bad areas would include Bayview/Hunter s Point and the surrounding areas, as well as the Mission district past around 25 St (notorious for gang activity). Those are really the only areas I d recommend staying away from if you really have an aversion to bad neighborhoods. So basically, just for good measure, avoid the SE end of the city and you ve got it all covered. Also, parts of the Western Addition/projects, especially around Eddy and Laguna, can get iffy. But for the most part the area s quiet, so whatever.

San Francisco is a beautiful and lively city, if you know where to go exactly. the usual tourist spot is fisherman s wharf, a lot of things to do family wise. Mission is awesome for shopping addicts and hippie loves will fall in love with Haight st (good vintage shopping there). Castro is sweet if you ve got a gay friend or two to tag along with. Ghiardelli Square is beautiful during Christmas and the hot chocolate they serve there is awesome. Chinatown is so much fun and really displays china s culture well. Cow Hollow has good shopping, kind of pricey but good, spas and delicious restaurants. South Beach is nice, the Giants stadium is in this district so that s always fun. Treasure Island is pretty, beautiful view of the golden gate bridge connecting to the city. Market Street- busy, busy busy but i love it! districs to stay away from:BayviewLower Haight, at times. (i was definitely perved on a couple times here )SunnydaleTenderloynoverall, San Francisco is awesome. lots and lots of bums and creeps but you ll adapt. :)

Sf is actually a pretty safe place, but there are, of course, neighborhoods that you shouldn t walk around at night by yourself. I mean, that s a given for any city.I agree with On the Radio, the tenderloin has actually cleaned itself up a bit. It s not the safest place, but it s a safe haven compared to what it used to be.Haha funny story actually. We were driving my grandma around a couple weeks ago, she hasn t been to the city in many years, and we were driving through the tenderloin and she said is this the tenderloin? *gasp* it looks so nice! It s hard to read stuff about the Mission being a bad neighborhood since that s pretty much the neighborhood I m from. I live in the Excelsior, which has rising crime rates and current protests against those crime rates, but the only thing I don t do in the Mission is sleep. Therefore, I consider that neighborhood my actual home. It s got a really bad gang problem, and high crime rates as well, but it s very family oriented and people seem to forget that. Right now it is being gentrified, and if you think that s a good thing then open your eyes. The mission is filled with low paid, hard working mothers, trying hard to raise their families, and are being kicked out of their own neighborhood because of this gentrification, so gentrification is not a good thing.

All cities have good and bad area. The tenderlion and some part of mission are bad.

san fran is great! just stay out of the tenderloin.
