| - This show was pretty fantastic. It's the first Chinese show in Vegas and features trained monks! They just opened January of this year and are expected to close end of July, but may get extended. The theater itself is a bit smaller compared to some of the theaters for Cirque shows, which makes almost every seat in the house pretty great. The majority of the side seats were empty (we came on a Saturday night), but tickets were fairly cheap at $67 for a 3rd category seat-- make sure to pick up one of those small Vegas magazines at the mall for a $20 off Category 1, 2, or 3 seat, which made category 3 and 4 the same price.
The screens, projections, stage elements, music, and costumes are fantastic. The acrobatics, though nothing new, were pretty exciting. Add a panda suit, and it makes the whole show a new level of amazing.
There were some parts of the story line I didn't quite understand and I didn't really feel one of the songs at the end, but overall, I loved how interactive this show was. There were definitely some seats that got more swag thrown to them than the rest of the crowd, but it was still fun and got the audience excited. Even between sets, they made sure we were entertained and having fun.
I definitely would recommend seeing this show. I've had pretty low expectations post-Criss Angel Cirque du Soleil, so this definitely got me excited about Vegas shows again!
