| - This show wasn't bad. It's just not at all the best show in Vegas, and I'd recommend just about any Cirque du Soliel (except BeLIEve) over it if you can only afford one show. I'm not a brand whore (at least I don't think I am), but the real Cirques are better than this sort of Cirque take-off.
First, the good! Le Reve is a water show in a very small, intimate, circular theater. There literally is no bad seat in the house. Really. I promise, I don't work for the show, no one paid me to say that. In fact, the most expensive seats are the farthest away from the stage. The theme of the show is a series of dream-like acts, following a girl who is (I guess) searching for love. You'll see beautiful costumery. The tango dancers are a nice touch, since they're dancing in completely wet outfits (no, not white t-shirts, you pervs) on the watery stage. It gave the romantic idea of dancing in the rain. That's really the only part that I really liked.
Things that other people might like: People on strings spinning in the air; clowns with annoying voices dressed in white suits instead of colorful clown outfits; lots of almost nude bald men with tight bodies.
So in other words, there are lots of sights to see in Le Reve. The music, I'd say, is typical new-agey stuff, and didn't really stick in my mind.
Bad stuff? I didn't like the clowns. They weren't funny. I wasn't really seeing amazing acrobatics as much as people on harnesses and rings spinning in the air. I wasn't too too impressed with that. Another thing is that Le Reve just seemed to be so happy to be in the water. Some performers' only purpose was to splash water at people, people swished around in water to show off how much water they had, even the tango dancers I liked kicked the water around on purpose because gosh darn it, they liked water just that much.
I think many people will like Le Reve. That being said, I think I'd recommend any Cirque show over it to people who ask my opinion.
