The Cosmopolitan Las Vegas is featuring a new show called “Opium,” a comedy-musical spoof on a flight to Mars featuring a five-piece band.
“Opium,” the newest show on the Strip, opened at The Cosmopolitan Las Vegas. It’s a comedy-musical spoof on a flight to Mars featuring a five-piece band.
The plot centers on the crew of the Orbital People Mover 4.2, who showcase their talents, such as juggling, hula-hooping and sword-swallowing. At one point a lady enters the stage in a giant balloon. It’s a weird, irreverent show but it works.
The thrilling flight (show) concluded with wild applause and a standing ovation by the ship’s passengers (audience). “Opium” performs at 8 p.m. every night but Tuesday, plus 10 p.m. shows Thursdays through Sundays. Tickets start at $79. It’s a show not to be missed.
Are you looking for a bite to eat before the show? Try Evel Pie at 508 Fremont St. downtown. It’s the best pizza I’ve had in Las Vegas. Brandon Powers really runs a top-notch pizza restaurant. You can’t go wrong!
