Yup, it is a crazy place. You can't help but think about the cash flow there! All the money to keep it going and all the money being spent -- zillions of dollars! And who knows where they put all the garbage generated!! Also, (except for staff) everybody there is on vacation and in a generally good mood -- happy to chat and laugh. Talking about dollars, Frank the Robot had rolling dollar signs in his eyes like a slot machine winning big. QAL nod to Vegas! (Can't find your original question!) Yes, I managed to fall into the fountain at Crystal Springs. The fountain is literally inches off the ground and it is marble on top of marble so it sort of blends together. None of the store folks came out, but a bunch of security guards came. One even told me not move from the middle of the pool. Not likely since I was submerged from head to foot. My leg is black and blue but not broken. Seeing the Saturday show was all worth it. You poor thing! Sounds awful. i hope your leg recovers quickly...at least you had the best medicine in QAL. nica575. Why don't you tell us how you really feel about Piers Morgan? happy. Thank you for the recap! Loved reading of your adventures.

Profanity warning.
Shut the fuck up, Piers. You are the interviewER, not the interviewEE.
Interminably long questions questions gobbling up the time from the interviewEE drive me mad.
Plus, Piers, you suck for such a wide variety of reasons I can't even comprehend the length of the list.
Priggish, self satisfied, pursed mouthed, ignorant, teenie weenied judgmental fame whore.
In my opinion.
But as always, Adam was gorgeous, gracious and well spoken. Love him.

The whole Bert and Ernie thing was kind of dopey and awkward. And it caught Adam off-guard so he wasn't prepared to say much about it, witty, insightful or otherwise. So he just kind of went with the flow with some neutral comments. I guess the whole "gay" topic will continue to be an opportunity for jokes and sexual innuendo remarks till the end of time. Adam didn't really take the bait so, fortunately, this conversation didn't turn it into a mocking sort of thing. He just said he didn't know much about it. Good for him. No new news on the A4 horizon here, but he expressed his usual (and sincere) praise for Brian and Roger and his gratefulness for being able to perform with them and learn from them. Always a class act. When will people stop treating someone's sexuality as a joke or entertainment. Did Piers really think Adam came on the show to discuss Bert and Ernie? He didn't make the characters. And Adam has been fronting Queen for six years. I think he has long answered the filling the shoes question with his performances and full arenas. It is Queen and Adam Lambert. Even if someone still thinks he does not fit then they should take it up with Brian and Roger. They along with Adam are the only ones who have a say. ETA: OT I think Maroon 5 has the SB halftime show.

Awesome recap Happy! You've covered our adventures in great detail! It was great spending those 3 days with you and Mszue, and meeting other Atoppers at the Friday dinner, including Q3. While Bavette's Steakhouse at the MGM Park is pretty expensive, the food was very good and they really did accommodate our group. The exchange is a killer for us Canadians but we got to the point that it was just all part of the experience. The smoking in the casinos was definitely hard to take so we didn't spend anymore time there than needed. My trip home was a real let down after all the excitement of the shows, with major delays in both flights so that I arrived in Victoria at 12:30 am instead of 7:45 pm. Once we finally boarded the flight out of Vegas, we spend more than an hour on the runway waiting to take off as there were about 20 planes stacked up for takeoff, while planes were arriving every few minutes as well. No more airports for me for a while! While videos are great, especially when we cannot be at the concerts, it still doesn't compare to Adam's voice live. So much power, warmth, beautiful tone, you really get immersed in him. Being so close you get to see all the little facial expressions and nuances of the outfits. I loved being so close at the end of the thrust the first night, the best seat I've ever had, but really almost had a more "full" experience the second night being back in section 304, row E, which was center stage so you got the full effect of the staging, the lighting, the sound wrapping around you. Not fun to have those 2 empty seats beside me, and a gentleman on the other side who never stood up until the final bows, didn't always applaud and did not seem to be into the show. Several folks in front of me also were very quiet. Most people stayed seated other than a few times, but many were just as much into the show. I did try my hand at a couple of videos from section 304, but am by no means an experienced videographer. The fun and joy the whole band has on stage is so wonderful to behold, and I hope Brian & Roger will be able to keep it going for a while longer, as it seems to make them very happy. See what I did there....let my happy and fierce playmates do all the heavy lifting re the recaps and I just have to say ditto to all. Great full recap Happy... And fiercelier is being really modest as her pics and video's are really good....I am so pathetic behind a camera it is sad....I expect the camera to 'fix' all the light blasts and other impediments to perfection and it just does not...it expects me to do that!! Nope....hard to believe she and I were standing next to each other for the first night pics....I did not bother the second night. I really enjoyed meeting some old atop acquaintances, and some new...that is one of the great concert perks. Both concerts were ridiculously good but I thought Saturday was definitely just that bit better .... particularly Adam...he seemed more 'into it', joyous and funny that Friday. In fact, after the Friday evening show I mentioned to the others that Adam seemed less playful, less 'vulnerable' [or more jaded, almost] and I was sorry about that...just my in-the-moment sense. Lo and behold, the old silly Adam was back Saturday. Perhaps it was just me.... Brian also seemed to feel better and enjoy Saturday more than Friday. Friday he was constantly shaking the cramps from his fingers...especially his left hand...it seemed to be giving him grief. Saturday he was fine...more eyes in the smiles on Saturday. You can't tell with Roger as he is so far back...I wonder if he ever wishes he could be more up front and center...but that is the nature of his instrument. I love that Brian has slowly been upping his game costume wise...that definitely has to be Adam's influence coming through. A great time was had by all....oh, by the way...re the tapas comment....I am pretty sure he did not mean anything negative at the time at all. I think there were at least two parties there....one of them was artistsupporter, I think..but they were all into the concert and having fun....nothing nasty going on at all and everyone happy.
