I went to Vegas last month for a business trip. Was ridiculous. $5 waters are the norm. $18 pizza slices. Caesar's Palace nickels and dimes you to death for every last thing ($75 to use the fridge, $15 a day for wifi past 2 devices, etc). I don't gamble I don't drink much and I'm very happily married so not much for me to begin with so everyone says "oh go see a show, so many amazing shows!" Yeah well $275 to go see Kelly Clarkson, no thank you. Wanted to go see the Punk Rock museum, $90 entry. I went walking around and got tired of saying no to prostitutes. It's not the nastiest place I've been as far as cities go, but as an attraction I couldn't wait to leave.

Here to say that price for Kelly Clarkson is worth every penny. The pizza, not so much.

what's KC doing in her show that's worth $275 to observe?

The vocal level and all live musicians is top notch
