Tickets: $55 & $65
Heat, rhythm, passion - would you expect any less from a troupe
that leans on talent from
Ricky Martin's entourage? Storm follows a
prologue with four acts that focus on the world's prominent musical
styles. Main characters Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water lead a cast of
50 stage and aerial performers through more than a dozen
high-energy international numbers.
Tip: Start with caviar and vodka at the resort's Red Square,
then move on to its elegantly simple dinner menu. Or, if you're
looking to really impress (and have the expense account to do it
right), make after-show reservations at chef Charlie Palmer's
Aureole, where dinner is luxuriously slow. Order a pricey bottle
and watch the wine angels rappel to the top of the four-story wine
tower to retrieve your selection. Still going? Finish off at the
House of Blues, and if you're a high roller, you'll already know
where the membership-only Foundation Room is located.
