Reading your comment actually made me excited to see the new show! When we saw the show at the Luxor, we were seated in the far back right where the paper rolls are. It was such an experience looking out at the huge crowd passing the paper that started with us. It was amazing.</p> <p>I love the Blue Man Group and I love the Luxor Hotel. I thought they were matched perfectly. I kind of expected all of Vegas to start ripping the Luxor off with "Those Crazy Mute Green Men" or something. Instead, the Luxor lost out on the coolest show they have had to date. I guess we'll be making a trip to the Ventian next time we're down there.</p> <p>Thanks again, Laura Moncur</p> David,

After that, other hotels start making offers. The Venetian offered to build them a brand new custom built theater and a lot more creative control (such as lobby design). Also, now ushers and retail staff are blue man employees, not hotel employees. The new theater is absolutely incredible and everything on the stage feels so much closer than it did at Luxor. The new material is great. I miss a couple of things that were taken out of the show but BY FAR everything about the new show blows the Luxor show away and all the cast and crew seem thrilled with it and the Venetian hotel has been extremely supportive and welcoming. It is the Venetian's first ever big production show (and they will also have Phantom of the Opera next year).</p> <p>Luxor didn't lose Blue Man for Carrot Top. They lost Blue Man because they couldn't offer what the Venetian was able to. Carrot Top is just temporary. In February the main show at Luxor will be Hairspray.</p> Blue Man Group’s initial contract with Luxor was five years. After that, other hotels start making offers.
