The Smoking Gun on VIVA ELVIS!

This...

...would seem to seal it. Ta-da! I wondered how much Cirque had to pay to buy it, but Whois says they have officially owned VivaElvis.Com since December of 1999?!?! Or could that just be when the domain was created by whomever owned it before?

I'm surprised, though, that this...


...and this...



...are still up for grabs. Although not for long, methinks.

I actually thought about picking them up, but in looking over Love, Ka and some of the other cirque shows decided against it. They don't seem to utilize those variations and most of the addressess in that format are dormats anyway. Especially considering they left .net out there, seems like a possible waste of time.

I could see it for the resort, but after all this is only a show, which is going to feed the majority of it's visitors from the parent hotel website and cirque de soleil's website.

yeah, me too. but i'm surprised cirque didn't spring for the little bit of money to cover these bases, as is customary.

Agreed, although I see from your newest post, they did. Well at least we can take comfort in the fact that since they don't use the other for other shows or redirect them, they wouldn't have actually paid us off :)

But for the hell of it, I say post some others and we'll all snatch them up and see if we can make money cybersquatting j/k
