Las Vegas Shows and Web 2.0

What does the latest internet craze have in common with Las Vegas Shows? More than you might think.

The biggest and most popular Web 2.0 sites such as Digg, Technorati and even your plain old blogging technology like Wordpress all thrive on participation. Participation is something that Las Vegas has been using for 50 years. From the small little magician shows to the giant productions you will find more shows in Las Vegas than anywhere else in the world that rely on audience participation to make them work.

Sounds familiar? What would YouTube be without videos? Pretty boring. The same goes for Tony and Tina’s Wedding, a Las Vegas show that relies on customer participation, after all what is a wedding without any guests (watch a video here).

Isn’t it interesting to see how things can work in what appears to be totally different environments?
