Ever dreamed of running off and joining the circus? No? Ok then, how about running off and getting married by the circus...in Vegas? Yes, that sounds MUCH better and that's exactly what you can do at The Four Seasons at Mandalay Bay.

This summer the hotel introduced an elaborate Cirque du Soleil wedding extravaganza where dancers "suspend above the tables on silk rope and delighted by menus of made of chocolate." So far we have yet to see any pictures of this Cirquey wedding reception but if you've seen an aerial dancer in a Cirque show, then you can imagine what awaits at this kind of wedding reception.

So what kind of seats did we get? Back row. Literally the last row in the house. However, because this show is in the round there are no bad seats. We've also seen LOVE before so we didn't need to be up close. (That was in 2006 and we paid a whopping $125 for a ticket!)We were also grateful for our seats because LOVE has a bit where they cover the audience in a sort of parachute blanket. We were so high up the blanket didn't reach us which was wonderful because

Las Vegas: Cirque Announces a Michael Jackson Show, Hope It's More LOVE Than Viva Elvis

Wow, Cirque really are pushing themselves at the moment. If it’s not swallowing the bad Viva Elvis reviews or reworking Believe, it’s creating a brand new show, and this one is going to be huge – a Michael Jackson show, based in Vegas.

The show will start touring next year, then take up permanent residence in Vegas (at an MGM Mirage property, according to the Sun). Cirque and the Jackson estate will go 50/50 on the cost of putting it on.

Spend your money with these nice people, not at the Box Office

As you might have gathered yesterday, we weren’t the biggest fans of Viva Elvis. But one thing we forgot to put on the “what we liked” list yesterday, is the VE shop.

We checked it out back in January, and it was fantastic. Of course, it has every Elvis CD, t-shirt and bit of kitsch you could possibly want, like the Memphis-made cashew crunch Elvis used to eat at Graceland:
