Phantom of the Opera – A Review

The Phantom of the Opera: The Original Novel
Overall Rating:
 
Retail Price: $9.99
Amazon Price: $9.99
While staying in Las Vegas for a month we definately had plans to make it to at least one show. We were going to go see Criss Angel’s show Believe but after reading the reviews we decided to pass and go see The Phantom of the Opera. After getting our tickets through Las Vegas Event Tickets, we decided that we would go down a bit early and sit and have a glass of wine and appetizers before the event. We ignored mapquest’s directions which bring you in somewhat of a backway to the Venetian and ended up driving down the whole Las Vegas strip from the south end. Now the Las Vegas strip is cool when you have the time but we were sort of pressed and the traffic was horrendous. They are doing some construction in a few spots which narrows down the road a bit in places too. So if you are heading downtown to a show, leave yourself plenty of time and try to avoid driving down the strip as much as possible.
We had just enough time to sit down at the Grand Lux Cafe right outside of the Phantom theatre in the Venetian to grab a bite. The crabcakes were some of the best we had ever had and the potstickers weren’t so bad either. We drank our Pinot and Sam Adams and were sitting in our seats 10 minutes before the show started.
Once you sit down in this $40 million dollar custom-built theatre you are convinced that you are sitting down in the Paris Opera House. We had great seats in the Gold section which is the center floor and we could see perfectly. We had never see any previous version of the production live but had watched the movie that had been made so we were familiar with the story-line and music. This production leaves out none of the original music or story-line but it has added special affects and enhancements that sweep you into the world of the phantom and Kristine and make the 95 minute show fly by. The chandelier scenes in the play are worth the price of admission alone. I would highly recommend this show, it is worth every penny so don’t miss it!

Fantastic for the first time RVer
 
Review Date: September 20, 2009
Reviewer: PB, USA
I loved this book. It gave a tremendous amount of insight into what to consider, when to buy, and what to look for. I really enjoyed the way the information was laid out and I've noticed a greater comfort level while visiting the various RV dealers. Prior to this book I had been researching websites and trying to do all the digging I could into but still felt naive when visiting the showrooms and looking at layouts and options, various weights, and myriad other variables. This book prepped me on what to look for, trends to watch, when to buy, where to buy, and how to inspect a unit as well as which unit would be best for my needs. Its a great investment for the first time rv'er.

Reviewer: Orvil Hazelton, Lexington, KY
This pamphlet style book is authored by NOT an RVer but an RV salesman! While there is a small amount of valid information in this rather generic book, all in all, this book is pretty worthless. JMHO. . . oRV

Excellent bag
 
Review Date: July 31, 2009
Reviewer: Proctor X, on a landmass
Being a camping amateur, I'd never even heard of a dry bag until getting ready to ride my bicycle across Iowa and camp for seven nights. I ordered the large Coleman bag. This is a thick yet very pliable/foldable rubberized plastic bag. I packed three sets of bicycling clothes, three sets of casual clothes, two gallon zip locks of toiletries, a gallon bag of food, a sleeping bag liner, and 2 pairs of shoes.all this barely filled the bag half way.

The bag seems fairly tough, it got thrown around in the back of a moving truck and out onto the bare campgrounds for a week and no tears or rips, though I did have it in a thin duffel bag for a bit of extra protection.

For less than twenty bucks I don't think you can go wrong with this one.
Good drybag
 
Review Date: January 31, 2010
Reviewer: R. Jewell,
I like this dry bag. It was inexpensive, but is made of thick plastic. The seems are holding up great after a year of use. It works great! I would buy more of these.
Good price, seams weak
 
Review Date: September 1, 2009
Reviewer: Scott Stevenson,
The price is good if you need a basic large dry bag for light duty. I have two and on one a seam came unglued about 3 inches long on the end.

Product Description

A candid and personal look at an adventurous new lifestyle – living full-time on the road in a recreational vehicle.

1.5 million Americans live on the road. This book tells you what itÂ’s like.

There are thousands of retirees every year that are exchanging the stability of a permanent house for the adventure of a house of wheels

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to take off in a camper one day and never come back? Steeles on Wheels chronicles a year in the life of a 50-something couple who are doing just that — living full-time in a 34-foot recreational vehicle. With humor and candor, Steeles on Wheels answers the most common questions about living on the road, such as managing money, getting along in close quarters, the issue of “legal residency,” big-rig driving skills, sewer hookups, how to choose campgrounds, living without a phone, getting mail, and much more. Also included are charts, checklists, and practical survival tips. E-mail letters to friends and family, along with some written from the sassy viewpoint of the traveling family dog, convey the delights of the ever-changing scenery and non-stop adventures of living in an RV. The book is an armchair travel guide to a daring, yet economical new lifestyle for the 21st century.
