I was there last night as well, and also think the show will be a hit. The only flubs I found distracting involved a special effect glitch during the parachuting scene (I am being vague to avoid a spoiler), and malfunctioning lights on one of the Flying Elvises' costume. I really liked how the full orchestra was on stage for the overture and entr'acte, and then broke into pieces and rolled away when the show began. Encores might steal this idea if they keep making their set designs more lavish (and if the City Center has the wing space). Between that idea, the appropriately garish Vegas neon settings, and the clever use of projections, designer Anna Louizos deserves a shout-out for her work here.
