Good news! As I finally get my monday off at work, we decided to head out to Las Vegas for the 4 days Christmas week-end with Pau Din and Yann.Not a minute to loose, we went to pick the rental car ($171.76 for one week), a Pontiac Grand Prix, a little before midnight friday night: a 2 hours waiting line... no kidding ! Then, we put the luggages in the trunk and zoom, 8 hours and 532 miles later, Las Vegas here we are !
To fill our starving stomachs, we first stopped at the Main Street Station Hotel for its recommended buffet in the old Las Vegas.
Then, we took some rest at our hotel the "Golden Nugget" ($142.08 for 3 nights).
Las Vegas is famous for its casinos but also for its shows. So, we went to the Mandalay Bay Hotel to see the "Mammia Mia!" Show ($46.25/person). This Broadway hit was created by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus' with 22 of ABBA's greatest hits woven into an irresistible love story. We were all enchanted by the show. If you are a fan of ABBA, it is a must see !
For those who lived in an igloo the last 35 years (...), ABBA was a Swedish pop/dance group active from 1972 until 1982. The quartet was formed through the friendship of Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus and their respective girlfriends Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Agnetha Fältskog. Together, they topped charts worldwide from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s. The name "ABBA" is an acronym of the first initials of each members name: A for Anni-frid (Frida), B for Benny, B for Bjorn and A for Agnetha.
By goggling on the net, I also found out that the movie "Mamma Mia!" will be released this summer 2008.
To help you wait, I found this irresistible video of Abba's tiny muppets dancing and singing:

If you carefully pay attention, you will recognize their following songs: Mamma mia, Watch out, I have a dream, Rock me, Under my sun, Take a chance on me, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, Money money money, Dancing queen, Ring ring, Two for the price of one, Waterloo, Thank you for the music, The winner takes it all and Hasta manana.
Correct me if I am wrong but you may also recognize Björn at the minute 1:52, the man that's walks in, Benny is at 3:15 on the phone, Frida appears at 2:35.... she's now a blonde and poses with her hand on her hip, then Agnetha walks along behind her at 2:37 holding a clip-board.
Et pour vous faire plaisir, voici le vrai clip de "Mamma Mia":
