Welcome to the samurai action blog. The samurai films in Japan are like the Western film of the United States. Both were once very popular, but not as much now. Both themes pop up every so often bringing up the hopes for some sort of revival, but that has not yet happened. In 2010, I published a book, titled, Sword of the Undead, which re-told Bram Stoker's novel, Dracula, with a samurai twist. (Click here for excerpt)

Matsuri at the Imperial Palace

I thought Matsuri was going to be like a Cirque du Soleil type of Chinese acrobats type show, but though that is the closest comparison I can make, it is unique upon itself.  It is a show that combines acrobatics, with magic and gymnastics and dance.  It's at the Imperial Palace, which I love, but it is the blue collar of hotels on the Center Strip, and the prices reflect it - but all that means is that the show is a real deal - you don't have to spend hundreds to see a good show. Regular prices are 49 - 59.
