Vegas -Cirque du Soleil

We've seen all of the Cirque shows in Vegas except Mystere and Criss Angel, and would recommend (if O is dark) LOVE, KA, and Le Reve (although that's Dragone, not Cirque). All three are great. I would suggest staying clear of Zumanity unless you are looking for something saucy and risqué, and Elvis was very disappointing in my opinion. Enjoy! We are back in Vegas in 6 weeks and cannot wait! We are mulling over show options at the mo.........

Thanks David. Having read a lot of reviews, I'm definitely hoping to see a cirque show. Bit tight on getting tickets for 'O' but will try when there as the pre-sale tickets are gone! Silly me for leaving it so late.

Luke what are your dates for staying in Vegas? Remember there are no shows on a Monday & Tuesday. Have you gone into the Bellagio Hotel web page and then clicked the 'O' icon, then click box Reserve "O" Tickets. From a calendar, there appears to be seats available throughout March & early April. Depends on what price you want to pay.

Personally we found it to be a a brilliant show. My grandkids were 12yrs & 10yrs at the time and they sat mesmerised by the peformance. We sat in the middle of section 103 around row J or K, seats were not cheap but its something you may only ever do once.

Hope this helps. H

Can a show really be worse than Zumanity?

I havent had the misfortune to see Elvis... but Zumanity was truly awful.

Nothing at all is worse than coming out of a show thinking "Thats 2 hours and $100 of my life that I'll never see again".

Definately don't waste your time/money on it! Mystere was far better.

Thanks Hev - i'm staying from 30th to 5th so will be there when there are shows which is good. Just checked the Bellagio website, useful tip!

Mostly restricted view or wet seats left. Will have a good look though, I shouldn't have left it so late so only myself to blame!

We are off in 10 days time and have only booked one show this time round....Matt Goss at Caesars. Only $40 each and excellent by all accounts. Really looking forward to it.

Just thought I'd give you a non-Cirque option.

Sorry for ressurecting an old thread here, but I think its kind of perennial...

We're returning to Vegas for third time to finish off the shows. The main reason we'll do a few days in LA next year is to catch the new Cirque show Iris, which opens a few weeks time...

We've not seen Mystere, Elvis or Love yet (we don't like the Beatles, but finally decided we will see it, because its probably far more Cirque than Beatles).

But the list for me, which I've seen is:

O (seen twice)
La Reve
Ka
Zumanity
Criss *spit* Angel's Believe

If you've seen Zumanity and not liked that, its a whole level of horror more for Criss Angel's show. Its terrible, and I think we saw the "improved version". Its basically a bad magic show with a couple of interludes with cirque dancers.

But the main point of the post is this:

We've visited twice and missed Mystere twice, so this time we know in advance what the dark days are to be avoided:

Lists them, and provides cirque forums too...

I don't think we've seen anything but cirque (and alike, la reve) in Vegas.

I had hoped when in Las Vegas at the end of the month to see Cirque du Soleil's "O" but, alas there are no performances on the Monday and Tuesday night I will be there. Which other Cirque du Soleil performance in LV do you recommend?

Any other shows to be recommended

Only my opinion but I think you escaped the worse CdS of them all, had there been a half time, we would have left, the show was boring and the smell of the chlorine was just terrible :$
Of all of them Love was the best if you like high octane stuff

Another vote for Le Reve. Brilliant!

Am I the only one who enjoyed Elvis as did my family ?|

How can you visit Vegas and not see Elvis in some sort of reincarnation :w

It probably helped that I got the tickets cheap by joining the Cirque website......

Its amazing how people's opinions differ, but to me O is the best show CDS have ever done. Its on the expensive side though.

I struggled with Ka, its a bit slow in the middle, but did get better towards the end.

La Reve is very worth it, and better value for money.

I avoided Love before because (and this offends people for some reason), because I don't like the Beatles...
