Having recently changed my area of responsibility at Viator, I’m now a proud member of team USA. Not sure why but every time I say that I feel the need to chant U-S-A … U-S-A and start waving a flag.

Are words really necessary?

It’s my great pleasure, and I mean GREAT pleasure to announce my very first new addition to the Viator site - The Chippendales at the Rio Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Now being new to the region I had to do plenty of research about the show, and searched high and low for just the “right” photos to display. It’s really important in my job to thoroughly understand the tour or activity, so I left no corner unturned in the quest for knowledge. I am a professional after all!

Personally I’m yet to see a Chippendales show, however I admit to seeing an Australian equivalent - Manpower - many years ago when Jamie Durie was part of the team (a well known name to Australian girls, but for the benefit of my American friends, he has recently joined the Oprah Show as a guest gardening consultant, or something like that?).

Even if semi-naked men bathed in baby oil writhing about the room in cowboy outfits is not your thing, the shows are worth checking out just to watch the audience. Keep your eyes open for the giggling girls out on a bachelorette night party, or the enthusiastic group dragging along their recently divorced, and somewhat reluctant friend - well worth the price of the ticket!

Oh yeah, we also added Penn & Teller to our Las Vegas Show range…

If you go to Vegas, you really should see a show. Not to be outdone by Broadway or London’s West End, Las Vegas offers a diverse mix of comedians, magicians, musicals and of course some good old fashioned adults only entertainment. Be it the current Monty Python smash-hit Spamalot, the oddly hypnotising Blue Man Group at The Venetian or reliving the golden days at The Rat Pack is Back, shows are as much a part of Las Vegas as the 24 hour gambling and gawdy lights of the strip.

So if you are heading to Vegas in the near future, don’t forget to check out Viator’s ever expanding range of shows to see what’s on offer. Vegas aims to please all who come, so you are sure to find something to make you smile.

- Let me take this opportunity to apologise to the male staff members who sit near our team in the office. I take full responsibility for the incessant girly giggling from my colleagues and I on Tuesday afternoon, I needed a second opinion on the right photos to use - ok maybe a third, fourth…eighth opinion?!?
