I saw Spamalot earlier this week and thought it was hilarious. If you are a fan of Monty Python, or just like a good laugh I would highly recommend it.

They have recently added a special Very Important Person Package that includes some royal treatment. The package includes a 45 minute, backstage “Secrets of the Grail” tour where guests will be able to take pictures with the cast, crew, set pieces, and props from Spamalot. You also get a commemorative Grail cup, filled with beer or a soft drink. The package is $159 and is available at 8pm on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. The tour takes place immediately after the show.

It sounds like a great package, unfortunately they introduced it three days after I saw the show. Oh well, maybe I’ll take advantage of it next time I’m in Vegas.
