This is the line at the Bellagio for the next showing of "O". It's long, it's painful and according to the desk it's sold out.

Of course we could waste an hour+ of our time waiting in stand-by hoping for tickets, but my ADD kicks in after about 2 minutes so I don't want to do that.

We were standing in line hoping something would become available when I figured I would just try the Bellagio site to see what I could find.

I found tickets.

Using LogMeIn to access my home computer from my Treo700wx (site won't allow me to purchase using mobile browsers) I was able to buy 3 tickets together, skip the line and go to dinner early. Cool.
