From the moment you entered the show here at Le Reve, I thought about Bugs Bunny and his floating mattress! Here's your refresher!

I had no idea what the show was going entail and the meaning of "Le Reve". I came here with an open mind and understanding that this is one of the most sought out shows in Vegas!
On this Vegas visit, I denounced the casinos and strip clubs and decided to become an avid show watcher. After years of empty pockets and blue balls, its time for me to relax and get my money's worth!
Much like our fellow Yelpers I refuse to share the plot synopsis. This is worth the ticket and a chance to see some ass flying booty. I enjoyed it for three reasons:
Theatrical details
I've worked and performed in theater from 8th grade to college. It's always amazing to see how the professionals put on a show filled with all the dramatic hardware and design concepts. I was captivated by the opening sequence and wonder if I can replicate it at a future show. Those who watched the show know what I'm talking about.
Mechanics
The gala display with revolving stages and fountains ROCKED! To a mechanical engineer's eyes, this display was mind blowing! I want one in my backyard pool!
Performers
Yes, you can get your eye candy on! For the women = guys with bods and abs. For gentlemen = you can use your imagination. Thank you Janice for getting our seats that were four feet from the pool side. Keep in mind that this show involves a large indoor pool. So the performers are also excellent swimmers. I cannot imagine holding my breath for more than minute. So five stars because these people have large lung capacities than most people (its tougher to perform when you're holding your breathe). Beat that Cirque du Soleil!
What Yelpers Should Also Mention:
- Attire. You can dress casual to the event. I was surprised that some folks came in shorts and flip flops while I dressed in slacks and dress shirt.
- You can have popcorn and beer while watching the show. Dammit! There's a concession stand to your left before you enter the show!
- It's best to have a light meal before the show. I was hella starving and I was too lazy to get up and get some popcorn.
- Total show time: One hour and twenty minutes. Yes, I timed it.
- There's one intermission. Try to be one of the first people to jump out of your seat and hit that potty break early.
- Pick up your will call / online tickets at the ticket center. Janice and I were hella confused by the other ticket signs there.
- No photography or videography during the show.
Will I watch it again: Definitely. Gotta take the future wifey.
If you could sum up the show in one sentence: Wizard of Oz meets Waterworld.
Best seats in the house: Get close to the poolside. You won't get soaked unless you're drunk enough to touch one of the performers.
Good For Kids: Sorry, leave the younglings at home.
