content: When I saw Bette Midler being interviewed on someone's TV show earlier this year, she mentioned she will probably retire after her Las Vegas two year run. Retire?  Well, she is 62.  I've been to Bette Midler concerts for the past 30 years and thought okay, i've gotta go to this one even if she does make a comeback at age 70...\n\nI wasn't disappointed.  The venue was huge...how did she run back and forth across the stage?  There wasn't a bad seat in the house, although bringing a pair of binoculars is recommended if you can't afford the $300 tickets and are seated in the upper levels.  The Divine Miss M's energy wasn't toned down much, although she did include aging jokes several times in her schtick.  But, she still could get around in that mermaid costume and tell those nasty, fun jokes. And her voice is still as big as ever.  She still belts 'em out!  If you can afford to go, it's one not to miss.  We used our tax incentive checks...flew Virgin Air (GREAT) and stayed at The Platinum Hotel (see review).
