Boyz II Men at the Mirage Casino in Las Vegas

Recently, I went to the Boyz II Men concert at the Mirage on the Las Vegas strip. For any one who is contemplating whether or not they should see this show I will put your fears to rest..SEE IT! Growing up with their music as well as En Vogue, Whitney Houston, and other great R&B artists, you come to appreciate "good" music and it brings a strong sense of nostalgia when you listen to it.

When I arrived at The Mirage casino and walked toward the theater, there were attendants there to direct me to where I needed to go according to my ticket. They told me about the concession stand where I could purchase snacks and drinks if I chose to. I thought it was pretty cool. Despite the fact that that the theater looked so formal it really was not. The dress code was semi-casual although I saw a few people dressed down from that. The theater was great because no matter where you sat, you had a great view of the show and there was plenty of seating for all. You did ot have to stand during the concert which was great.

At the beginning of the show, Boyz II Men thanked the audience for being there and seemed very appreciative. I was especially moved by their genuine spirits. They did not just perform, they told stories and jokes throughout which gave the show a unique character and added to the overall experience. I have been to many shows but I do not recall any that were so interactive and engaging.

From the beginning until the end of the show, I was on the edge of my seat listening for Boyz II Men's famous harmonies and comparing them to how they used to sound. While they are not 100 percent of what they used to be vocally (which is to be expected), they are pretty darn close! There was a time or two where the artists could not get their sound levels right because of the creaming crowd. However, once they got the crowd to calm down a bit, everything was okay.

If I had to pick one disappointment with regard to the Boyz II Men concert, it would be the fact that the "Meet and Greet" was $75. Although it is not a high price I was under the impression that it was included. I was so looking forward to "chewing the fat" with them and congratulating them on their continued success.

Overall, I has a wonderful time. There were a few small surprises which I will not mention. Just know that the Boyz II Men show has something for everyone. They truly paid homage to artists that have preceded them which diversified their performance dramatically and mixed the old with the new.

I have always been and forever will be a Boyz II Men fan til' 'The End of the Road'.
