Hi Everyone, While I love Las Vegas ~ and these dates sound like they would be a good fit, the reality (in my experience) of being there for Valentines Day may well mean some inconvenience that you can expect if you host the show there at this time. It's no ordinary weekend - there are long lines everywhere from the airport, to restaurants, to catching cabs, and forget show tickets unless you've booked well in advance. The city is jammed with people and traffic - with people there for a romantic weekend (lots of brides running around).
Those things may not be a big deal if the show is largely self-contained, and if people know what to expect - and those that want to tour can do it before or after the show.
