10th Trip to Vegas — Latest 2025 Highlights! 🎉✨

As someone who visits Vegas regularly, I love how the city always reinvents itself — never boring, always a go‑to for spontaneous getaways. 🎭 SHOWS & EXPERIENCES Awakening More than just an acrobatic show — it blends musical theater, ballet, acrobatics, and futuristic elements. The newest production in town and arguably the best show in Vegas right now — even tops previous Cirque du Soleil shows I’ve seen. Top‑tier sound, lighting, and set design! 🌟🎪 Shin Lim A mind‑blowing magic show that perfectly merges storytelling, music, and illusion. Asian aesthetics done right! The moment Shin Lim appeared right in front of my seat at the end — pure VIP magic ✨🃏 Backstreet Boys Concert in the Sphere Whoever thought of combining Sphere + concerts deserves a medal! Unbeatable visuals — 4D immersion without glasses. Floating into space during the set felt like being launched… dancing in outer space was a dream! 🚀🎶 Definitely coming back for more Sphere concerts. John Wick Experience Immersive adventure with different rooms and NPC‑led storylines. Some cool light/sound effects, shooting, and chase sequences. Knocked one star for being too short — just as you get into it, it’s over! 🔫😅 Saw Escape Room Immersive, mildly scary escape room — also too short. In a group setting, you might only solve half the puzzles. 🧩⚡ Comedy Cellar Late‑night adult‑themed sets. The final comedian was hilarious with great crowd work, but overall not as strong as my first visit. 🎤😂 🍽️ FOOD & DRINKS Hachi Wagyu skewers, sukiyaki, sashimi — all delicious! Good drinks too. ~$90 per person. 🍢🥩 888 Japanese BBQ (AYCE) Still great value and tasty, but seasoning felt sweeter/heavier than I remembered — or maybe my taste changed? ~$50 per person. 🔥 Mother Wolf Excellent service — lucky to have the chef personally prepare our Roman‑style thin‑crust pizza. High‑quality handmade pasta too! ~$90 per person. 🍕❤️ Mott 32 Lobster mapo tofu, truffle quail siu mai, Alaskan snow crab glass noodles, salted‑egg prawn balls, lychee dessert. ~$135 per person — food felt more like ~$70 worth. 🍤🍲 La Fontaine Pretty French brunch spot — ordered a lot but flavors were just okay. ~$90 per person. 🥐☕ Bonchon Bakery Croissants were crispy at first but got heavy later — not super memorable. Chez Bon Bon French bakery — decent but not standout. Molly Tea Caught their soft opening day two — Apple Needle King tea was refreshing! Free scent sachet and fridge magnet too 🍵🧋 #NYE #Christmas #LasVegas #VegasTravel #VegasShows #SphereExperience #VegasEats
