| - Just go. Even if you aren't a huge MJ fan, this high energy, fun, and entertaining show has restored my faith in Vegas shows after "disappointment" at Mat Franco, Britney, and Zarkana. (You shouldn't start your Vegas trips with La Reve and Absinthe, or your expectations become unrealistic for everything else...)
The facts:
- Small enough theater that there's no bad seat in the house.
- Fun acrobatic shows alternated between choreographed dance routines, all set to MJ music
- Lots of variety in acts. PLENTY of effects, holographs, video, and bigger screen coverage of acrobatic acts.
- Your senses are largely involved and overwhelmed with lots of things going on at once! Sober this is awesome. Drunk I'm sure it's even better. For the rollers, be prepared for the best day of your life.
Tips:
- If you arrive closer to 9, chances are front valet at Mandalay will tell you they are at full occupancy. Go ahead and park at West Valet. There was almost no wait to get our vehicle after the show!
- If money is a factor, buy the $125 ticket over the $160 ticket. It's not a terrible difference. I wouldn't personally pay $160 to see this since that's a LOT of money, and I'd rather burn the difference while trying to fabricate false hopes at the blackjack table.
- Bring a jacket! I brought a cardigan but half ended up on top of the friend next to me as I wore a knee-length dress. (Combat survival taught me that getting naked is the best source of body heat, but that's just not acceptable outside of Spearmint Rhino and Crazy Horse 3...yet)
I experienced no disappointment at all during this show, which literally takes... talent. This is so perfect for all age groups that I'll be back with my mom next time!
