LOVE To Hear It: The Mirage Extends Cirque’s Beatles Show

There is a lot going on at The Mirage Hotel & Casino lately. First of all, it's not going to be The Mirage for long. MGM sold it to Hard Rock International and it will soon become Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas. Then there's the fire-shooting volcano in the front of the property. The long-beloved feature will soon turn to dust and be replaced with a large, guitar-shaped hotel tower. Well, there have been questions about the property's premiere entertainment, The Beatles LOVE by Cirque du Soleil.

Thankfully, we have some news you'll love to hear.

In a press release, the property announced that Hard Rock International is extending the show through "at least" 2024. Obviously, no show runs forever. But it seems like the musically themed show will be a good fit for the musically themed Hard Rock.

The production, which began back in 2006, features a stage with the audience in the round. There's not a bad seat in the house and the show has been visited by the surviving members of The Beatles, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, and their families.

While the show is outstanding, the soundtrack is just as good. Obviously it's all "The Beatles", but the master recordings were remixed into a re-imagined soundtrack that was heavily influenced by Sir George Henry Martin. Martin was there to produce many of The Beatles' original albums and this soundtrack was his last production before his death in 2016.

If you haven't seen the show, and you even remotely like The Beatles, it is a must see. The Beatles LOVE by Cirque du Soleil mostly performs twice nightly Tuesday through Saturday at 7pm and 9:30pm, with special performances around holidays (like Sunday, July 2nd for July 4th weekend).

When you think about major concert line-ups in Downtown Las Vegas, you're sure to think of Life Is Beautiful. Why not?! Huge three day event, more artists than you know what to do with and a ticket price that matches. But don't sleep on Fremont Street Experience's "Downtown Rocks" free concert series! Great artists at the best price of all - free!

The "Downtown Rocks" free concert series has been bringing great acts to the city for years, and if you haven't seen a concert under VivaVision, you haven't lived. It's one of those experiences that you can truly only get in Las Vegas. And yes, it is completely free. The casinos along Fremont Street, from The D Casino & Hotel to Circa Resort & Casino, Binion's Gambling Hall to Golden Nugget and all the properties in between all chip in for a heck of a line up.

The lineup this year is frankly pretty awesome. Marcy Playground, Toadies and Smashmouth kicking things off on Memorial Day Weekend with Fastball and Gin Blossoms wrapping up the series in October. Not all artists are throwbacks, though. More modern artists like Neon Trees and WALK THE MOON, and even The All-American Rejects are taking the stage for free shows.

There are a bunch of different artists playing varying stages on varying dates, so we've gone through the trouble of putting them in order for you and finding some tunes to accompany them. Just scroll down to see the entire lineup and get ready for some free concerts for $Free.99 that will have you swaying your hips this summer! Just make sure you get there early. The concerts are wildly popular and if you want a good spot, you'll need to stake your claim! It is a free concert after all.

Aimee+Shawn's video best of is a little short this week because Shawn took his boys to Super Nintendo World! The impromptu trip was filled with missing Mario toys, a multitude of crammed families and great memories. (If you want great tips on how to take on the land without "Early Access", check out his blog.)

While Shawn was gone, Aimee was on her front porch, cackling maniacally, watching a grasshopper die slowly. Sure, she hates grasshoppers. No one loves them. But... does this make her unwell?

You know who is really unwell? Aimee's son Jayden. He learned the hard way he should not only listen to mom... but there's something you should never tell a woman. You never tell a man to "calm down"... and you never call a woman this. Now he's without his XBOX.

Recently, Shawn went to a restaurant where his waitress (who he sees often) sat down next to him. Her stepdad passed away that week. Obviously, very sad. But when you hear how he passed away and what she believes he clung onto before passing away, you'll cry a little.

While Jayden is serving hard time for calling mom "crazy," Aimee's friend has a bigger issue on her hands. Her young teenage daughter was caught drinking. Which led to the question... how long should you be punished for that? Her friend didn't know. Neither did Aimee. So it was time to call Uncle Google.

Aimee's hatred of grasshoppers is clinical, and after watching a grasshopper slowly perish on her porch, there's an argument to be made she's certifiable.

In a story line that is straight out of Jingle All The Way, Shawn couldn't buy a Mario doll at Universal Studios because they were all sold out. But Luigi? PLENTY Of Luigi.

Shawn's sons were a bit spooked by the raptor at Universal Studios, and were convinced they were in trouble. So he just told them... there's a dude in the suit. Should he not have?

On Aimee+Shawn, we prescribe to the simple equation FA=FO. Jayden FA'd, so he FO'd... but then he FA'd again... which PO'd Aimee to no end.

There is a community in Hollywood that would like you to believe there is no way to see the Hollywood Sign from their community. Watch as Shawn laughs at them and points out how their signs are total lies.

Shawn was out to lunch recently when his usual waitress sat down and told him a story about her stepfather passing away last week. When you hear how, and when he did, you're going to tear up.

You lived a good life. You made an obscene amount of money. You love your cats. So you do what you're supposed to and get a will, and leave your mansion to your cats so they could live out their days. Weird, but her estate right? Well... no. Not right, in Florida.

Shawn was left wondering how much jail time he would be looking at for leveling a 7 year old girl...

Aimee's friend was in a predicament. She caught her young teen daughter drinking with older friends. She knew she had to be punished... but for how long? Well... you know who would know...?

Aimee was getting her nails done and she overheard a woman bragging about her internet boyfriend who she had been helping through some hard financial times. Sure, she's never met him or had a video chat with him... but she's in love. Aimee's convinced this woman is getting catfished.

The Titanic submarine met a terrible end this week... and they were warned by several professionals that the ship was not safe for deep sea diving. But they carried on anyways.
