Well, it looks like we had Ken's bachelor party a few years too early. It was at his bachelor party that we stayed at the Treasure Island hotel in Las Vegas, and I first witnessed the famed pirate show, which is likely to be turned into a sex show this summer.

I have seen the show dozens of times, having worked and stayed in Las Vegas numerous times. It is a spectacular sight, with cannons blazing and pirates leaping from tall masted ships into the deep water below. According to an AZ Central report, the show is going to be canned in July. It will be replaced with yet another Vegas sex show. This coincides with what, for the past year, seems like Vegas' attempt to undo efforts to become more family oriented, and seize the sleaziness that envelops the city.

I have nothing against Sin City, I just think that they should choose a direction and stick to it. At least they are realizing that the family atmosphere doesn't fit very well, and doing something about it. Still, I will be sad to see the pirate show end. It was really something worth watching, and something that was unique to the Treasure Island Hotel.

How cliche is a sex show? And how risque could an outdoors performance on the Vegas strip really be? I mean, even Las Vegas has public nudity laws, and if you are going to do something, why do it half assed? (no pun intended.)
