New Show To Fill Siegfried & Roy Theater.We knew that it wasn’t likely Siegfried and Roy would come back but we still had hope.Today, however, reality moved in and hope moved on.
Cirque du Soleil, Apple Corps Ltd. and The Mirage announce a partnership in which they will celebrate the musical legacy and extraordinary experience of The Beatles in an unprecedented live theatre production opening in 2006. This joint artistic venture marks the first time that The Beatles’ company, Apple Corps, has agreed to a major theatrical partnership.
The production will be Cirque du Soleil’s fifth resident show in Las Vegas and will be presented at The Mirage, the resort that changed the face of Las Vegas when it opened in 1989. The show replaces entertainment icons Siegfried & Roy.
The project was born out of a personal friendship and professional admiration between the late George Harrison and Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Lalibert?. “This show is about living The Beatles experience,” said Guy Lalibert?. “We want to bring the magic of Cirque du Soleil together with the spirit and passion behind the most beloved rock band of all time to create a single, simple statement of delight.”
Neil Aspinall, Managing Director of Apple Corps, said, “In the past The Beatles have been approached with theatrical proposals which never promised much beyond a traditional presentation. However, in Cirque du Soleil, Apple is fortunate to have found a creative partner with the same passion for innovation and excellence.”

The show will be a unique and magical experience.”

Talk about your backhanded compliments.South Africa’s Mercury newspaper wrote in its Medical section, “When US magician David Blaine starved himself for 44 days in 2003 inside a glass box suspended over London, many condemned the stunt as pointless. Not so, say doctors specialising in malnutrition.”
The article does not quote Professor Jeremy Powell-Tuck of Queen Mary’s School of Medicine in London, on any other aspect of the 44 days in a plastic viewing case.
The physicians who treated Mr. Blaine found “emaciated frame had been a gold mine of information about how the body coped with extreme hunger.”
Strangely, assuming Mr. Blaine did not really starve, he was seriously low on peptides, or protein building blocks, as well as blood phosphates, and was suffering from vitamin deficiency and weight loss.
He did recover quickly and demonstrated that a short-term re-feeding program can restore a starving victim or hunger striker’s normal eating patterns.
Key to the recovery, say the physicians, is vitamins.
In the November 28, 2003 edition of Inside Magic, we covered Mr. Blaine’s initiation into Dr. Powell-Tuck’s study.We regretfully noted that Mr. Blaine’s habit of caring only for himself curtailed the study after only four days.
Originally the study was to benefit cancer patients and their efforts to regain weight after radiation or chemo therapies.It is not clear whether the study’s goals had to be modified when Mr. Blaine decided to break the protocol and eat fish and chips in the hospital cafeteria but it certainly couldn’t have helped.
It would be unfortunate if this is the reason why the currently published study does not mention any recommendations for cancer patients but only hunger strikers.It is only surmise and we hope it is incorrect.
I was feeling pretty flush with cash.I had just hit the Trifecta at Santa Anita (my lucky track) and hit it pretty well.I have a couple of horses going off at 5:1 and 4:1 and the 5:1 took to the win.
Anyway, pretty flush with cash but more importantly, I had that exhilaration that comes when one?s intuition pays off.
People were giving me high-fives at the Harrah?s Race Book and the cocktail waitress brought by a giant Diet Coke with tons of ice ? For Free!
Here I was hitting her casino for some serious scratch and they were giving me a free 22 oz Diet Coke with that good kind of crushed ice.
It could not get better than this so I took my bankroll, my 21 oz of Diet Coke (I had a sip in celebration) and headed out of the book.As I sipped on the brown liquid love that is Diet Coke, I wondered how anything could top this feeling of excitement.
