Wild things at the Springs Preserve

09 September 2011

Each year during the months of April, May and June, a little bit of the Roos-N-More Zoo arrives every weekend at the Springs Preserve to entertain visitors who flock here to meet rare and beautiful creatures that they have only ever seen on TV or in photos.

These welcomed weekend guests at the Springs Preserve are otters, lemurs, boa constrictors to name but a few of the many unusual and sometimes endangered animals from around the world that are bought to the Springs for visitors to see and meet them up close, interact with them and get to know something about the little critters that inhabit our planet.

Shows are held twice daily and visitors can learn all there is know about the animals they meet by listening to great tutorials from members of the zoo staff. Just by watching the animals visitors can get to know their personalities as they watch them fool around.

Vintage Vegas takes another spin

04 September 2011

Chris Phillips alias Zowie Bowie also known as the man with constant and very obvious fake tan, has been wowing the Las Vegas lounges since 2006 with his wacky performances which he had been doing so expertly along with his then-fiancée.

The gleaming wide smile of the curvaceous Marley Taylor had drawn the crowds in to admire and ogle at the various outfits that both performers dared to wear during their flash performances and to marvel at the dance moves that Marley performed throughout. But then things went a little wrong for the couple as Marley decided to quit to go off with another man who was unfortunately the musical director of their show.

But all is not lost as Phillips has hired a new musical conductor who just happens to be the man that Marley went off with in the first place. It sounds like a story out of the roman era of trickery and deceit, but Phillips is convinced that the three of them will make the performance and therefore the whole show tighter and more intimate than it ever was in the past.

The World Famous Jabbawockeez

03 September 2011

The incredible success that the famous Jabbawockeez dance crew has enjoyed over the last few months in Las Vegas has convinced the president of Monte Carlo, Anton Nikodemus,  to rebook them to give more shows at the resort in October 2011 of this year.

He was so impressed by the immediate sell out of the initial performances and clearly appreciated how the now world acclaimed JBWKZ dance show called ‘MUS.I.C.’ added a sensational new option of entertainment to all the guests at the Monte Carlo Resort and Casino that he felt the need to do this.

The aptly named show has been described as ‘an audio-visual story of inspiration’ and HBWK clearly bought an enhanced level of thrilling shows to the resort to merit being rebooked. Needless to say Jabbawockee are pretty thrilled to be included as a ‘family member’ of such a prestigious group. Fred Nguyen put it very succinctly when he told the press that the dance crew thought the success they had enjoyed at the resort was one they had always wished would happen, he said they found it to be a ‘truly humbling’ experience.

The Valley of Fire is Nevada’s oldest state park and a trip to this amazing place will take you through some fantastic scenery including incredible rock formations and color reflections on the eroded sandstone through the valley that will simply take your breath away.

Just 50 miles from Las Vegas the valley is 150 million years old and was named the ‘Valley of Fire’ because when the sun hits these ancient rocks it often gives the impression that the whole valley is on fire. Touring through it is like going back in time, 3000 years back in fact.

The tour encompasses authentic Pueblos, pottery, baskets, arrowheads, tools along with other ancient artifacts and the Great Anasazi – the ‘Lost City’.
