This 10-acre addition to the Gaylord Texan sounds like a great attraction for families.  We look forward to seeing it next spring!

The Glass Cactus was packed, mostly with females, which we will get to later. The anticipation started to build around 9 pm as people filled the nightclub waiting for Le Freak to perform.

Clad in skintight pants and huge comical Afros, Le Freak blasted onto the stage around 9:30 pm. They promised to deliver two hours of “Solid Gold Disco” and did that and so much more.

It took us a couple of songs to make sure they were not lip-syncing, but after a while we realized they were not. Even with all the dance moves and jumping and high kicking around, they are still good at playing some of the best live 70′s disco music you will find anywhere.

They put on one heck of an entertaining show. The good news is if you missed them last night, they will be back at the Glass Cactus for the Le Freak New Year’s Eve Bash which I’m guessing will be another fantastic event.

Oh yeah, about the Cougars. If ever the term was more appropriate, we have not seen it because they were out at the Glass Cactus last night. They were prowling around the room like nothing we have ever seen.

Maybe it was the skintight pants on Le Freak that brought them out or maybe that was just a normal Saturday night at The Glass Cactus. We cannot be sure.

Either way, it was a fun, high-energy show that gave us an understanding of why this band has such a great following.
