Cactus Club Customers Reviews
Great show.
"I had forgotten how good this guy is as an artist, just how many songs Michael had. The show was entertaining. The real Michael was smaller, with no body fat whatsoever. In reality, if the real Michael had been a bit healthier, well... maybe he’d still be alive. The stratosphere is on the wrong end to the strip. For example, outside on the street, a marijuana store, a gun store, and an Elvis wedding chapel all next to each other. Get high, shoot your wife, get married. Maybe they need a bail bondsman right next to those businesses. (There’s a joke in there somewhere.) Anyway, a great show, I’d see it again."
