What an honor for Leonard - and a pleasure for all of his fans. And Caesars Palace at one time (last year) questioned the wisdom of booking him there. How wrong they were! I am so grateful to Leonard for giving us one final chance to see him before his well-deserved break from touring. I get excited just thinking about it.

Thank you again jarkko for all of your hard work organizing and coordinating such a wonderful gathering. My sister and I will be in Vegas ... both shows and looking forward to meeting so many forum members. I just returned from a family reunion and now I will be attending another family gathering ...
( the Forum Family)...Leonards family.
I will see you all in Vegas
We are new to this online community, but not new to the music of Leonard Cohen. We just purchased our presale tickets for the Friday Las Vegas show, Front Orchestra center. The show will be our Christmas gift to each other. Thank you to the organizers of this site for making the early purchase possible.

The same for my husband and me. Merry Christmas to us all.

Good evening all from wet and windy wexford,
have been an armchair member for a while now, and always enjoy reading the posts from u all. We have just booked our flights to vegas. It seems strange considering we did not get to Lissadell to see the great man, unfortunately work commitments made sure of that. But looking at the many youtube videos, especially Albert Noonans, etc. and reading all the reviews made me encourage my wife that we needed a "short break in Vegas". I've never met Jarkko, but he deserves all our thanks for his dedication to such a wonderful site about our living legend.
Somehow this is very amusing! You weren't able to make it to Lissadell, but you will be in Las Vegas!
Wonderful!!! This will be the most amazing "coming-together" of Leonard fans ever! We will be there to send him off, and to remember all the joy he has given us!! It will be an amazing time...truly.
An observation----I booked tickets for saturday in Las Vegas the second the pre sale started, I got orch5 row gg which I am extremely happy with but looked yesterday and was offered orch4 row ee similar numbered seats.......could make fans unhappy!!!
So who's going to Honolulu? I was tempted by a seat in the centre of the front row but I have absolutely no idea if I can make it, sandwiched as it is immediately after our return from visiting my sister in Perth and travelling to Vegas for the final shows.
TRAVELLERS TO THE LAST SHOW IN VEGAS.......IN ALL THE EXCITEMENT AND PLEASURE OF REPEATING MY FLORENCE VIST AND SEEING OLD AND NEW FRIENDS , I WAS LISTENING TO LEONARD , AND SUDDENLY THIS HORRIBLE SHARP PAIN WENT RIGHT THROUGH ME......HIS LAST SHOW!!!!! WHAT AM I SO HAPPY ABOUT.........ONE OF THE MANY THINGS I HAVE GARNERED FROM LEONARDS WORDS, IS THE KNOWLEDGE THAT WE CAN PAY DEARLY FOR THAT WHICH WE LOVE MOST....TO LOVE CAN HURT EQUALLY AS BAD AS NOT TO LOVE..........I AM HAPPY AND YET HURTING SO BADLY THAT THIS MAY BE HIS LAST....., REALLY HIS LAST.... DOES NOT SEEM REAL.......IS THERE A CURE FOR THIS......I GUESS HE HAS ALREADY ANSWERED THAT...... I HAVE USED ALL THE TOOLS, BUT I MAY HAVE FOUND SOMETHING UNFIXABLE FOR ME................I HOPE YOU GOOD PEOPLE HAVE A SOLUTION........PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR THIS SADNESS I BRING.....BUT THERE IS NO ONE ELSE WHO COULD POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND..... BUT THOSE WHO LOVE HIM ALSO.....JEANNE

I am trying very hard to stay upbeat. There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in ...........
Hey, you grocers of despair, what's with the negative vibes? Just think of the Las Vegas shows as the last ones in 2010, because that's all we know for certain. Think about how awesome it is going to be sitting in a room with Leonard Cohen and so many wonderful forum friends! What an extraordinary, life enhancing experience that will be! Don't dwell on what has passed away or what is yet to be, just revel in the fact that you're going to be basking in the glow of Leonard Cohen! Life is good, people! Live for the day!
