| - First off, let me start by saying that this is the FOURTEENTH, yes, 14th Cirque Du Soleil show that I have seen! I am a HUGE cirque du soleil fan and try to see a different production every chance I get.
If you are a cirque novice, then I'd say it's a 4 star show... however, after seeing as many productions as I've seen, this one doesn't quite compare to the other ones out there, especially to the other ones in Vegas. The stunts are pretty good, but doesn't have quite the "wow" factor as the others that I have seen. The stunt that was most unique to this production was the sticks where they did the balancing and at one part, jumped from one stick to the other. Another one that really impressed me were the 2 guys that balanced off each other. That takes a lot of skill, coordination, and unbelievable strength!! I also really liked that guy with the cube because it looked so pretty with the light reflecting.
One thing I did not like about the show was the giant baby... a bit disturbing... and I wasn't quite sure how he fit...
In the end, a good show overall... but not the best. I suggest sitting a little further back because if you sit too close, you will have to lean back to see the tricks in the air. They always offer discounts for this show... so look for them before you buy tickets!! I got mine for only $55, half normal price with cirque promotions. I think many times if you are staying at Treasure Island, the room price can include show tickets as well, but check what promotions are being offered as they change all the time.
This was the first Cirque show in Vegas, and I'm glad I finally got to see it! The only cirque show I have left to see in Vegas will be the brand new Michael Jackson ONE.
In my opinion, in Vegas, the best would probably have to be "O" or "Ka". However, since one of the girl performers in Ka fell and died during a performance, I read that the big vertical fight scene was taken out. I have not seen it since they took it out, so I'm not sure how it effects the show now. I thought the tricks they did in Zarkana were more impressive than in Mystere.
