| - I have to start this review off with the preface.. if you didn't absolutely adore every second of LOVE.. you need to put your inner child on a the back of a milk carton.. because it's lost.. and for that, I am truly sad for you.
(The comments you see in negative reviews talking about needing to be on acid or have lost your mind to enjoy this show are just about the most inane things I have read on Yelp.)
My girlfriend and I booked our flights as we did just to make sure we would be in Vegas in time to pick up our tickets the day of.. and I was prepared to risk jail time to call the box office from the airplane if we were going to be late for some reason.
To start, the theatre is beautiful situated in the Mirage. We spent a lot of time in and around the gift shop and in the bar close to it. There is plenty of LOVE related swag. We even grabbed a few small things. There is a few solid places to snap a photo, and the staff is really good to allow people to do that as the show is going on and in the chaos between shows.
It's a little bit of a cattle herding start, but we just sort of ended up at the front of the bus and got let in first, to be able to get to the concession stand (things are little pricy) but the bartender was good enough to fill up our keeper glasses we had with water for a tip.
Then you wait with great anticipation for the next gate opening, as they usher you into the theatre. It's dark and a little hard to navigate but there are plenty of staff there to assist you.
We were situated in the middle of section B. I got a ticket for free because of MLife's app called MyVegas which saved us over $100 bucks in the end. (And I got this on the last day I would have a chance before we actually left for Vegas)
Section B is where it's at.. Sure there is not a bad seat in the house as this theatre was built for the show itself... but you are just high enough that you don't miss anything over your head or behind you.. and you are close enough to really catch all the subtles.
The girlfriend and I have tried a few times to decide what our favorite scene was.. and it changes by the hour it seems. The Lucy in the Sky scene was just so memorable.. but in the Octopus' Garden is right up there too.
There is not really a story persay. A few characters along the way you can follow, Sargent Peppers, and the four boys are a constant. But honestly, if you want a movie, go see one in a theatre... this show is just some of the best music you will ever hear in a show, and pure "eye porn" for your senses.
I did not see one person coming out unhappy with their experience.
It's more than worth it's price in memories.
