| - I was really looking forward to seeing this show, I have heard it was so good by a lot of people, the show is always sold out so its never discounted at the tickets for tonight booths. So I was able to find discounted tickets through the Bellagio website so my wife and I decided to see it.
Overall this is not a bad show, and my wife made a good point in that if this was the first Cirque du Soleil show we would probably be more impressed, and as a result I would have rated the show higher. At this point we have seen KA, Love, Michael Jackson One, and Zarkana, all of which have their own reasons for being better then O was.
One example of how other shows have impressed me more, I have seen some reviews that mention how great the stage is, it can disappear under water or make the water disappear completely, it can also be configured in a mixture of the two. Sure this is pretty neat but a show like KA the stage is a lot more impressive, it is so massive and the whole show its moved around vertically, set at an angle, and a lot of other great tricks and used as an actual prop in the show, very impressive and a lot more then O.
The costumes, the originality of performing in water, and the acrobatics are all pretty decent, but just not as exciting as other Cirque shows. I did enjoy the break for the performers in which they had a clown act, it was pretty cute.
My suggestion would be this, if you have not seen any Cirque shows in Vegas you might want to consider seeing this first, you will probably be impressed and it will probably get you interested in seeing the other shows. If you have seen a few Cirque shows save you money until you have seen most if not all of the other ones and go in there with a low expectation and you might enjoy it.
