| - This review is for the actual theatre in general and not specifically for Mystere.
For those of you lost, your Mystere reviews go here: http://www.yelp.com/biz/cirque-du-soleil-myst%C3%A8re-las-vegas-2. You're welcome.
Anyway, this listing is better served to address the theatre itself and perhaps the box office issue -- they are entirely too fucking slow when there is a long queue and there needs to be a dedicated will call line -- and, other residencies at T.I. besides Mystere, like Whoopi (whose last show was this past weekend) and Jello Cosby.
I have been to Mystere, naturally, and am awaiting a refresher or two of the show to write a proper review for her, but I have also been to Whoopi x2, Whitney Cummings, and a private house tour in the theatre.
Whoopi and Ms. Cummings were pretty funny headliners, and the latter even had a hilarious opener as well, so that is what I have in mind with the "Yay! I'm a fan" rating.
Once, I tried going to the Nevada Ballet Theatre/Cirque show, but after waiting for what felt like an hour at the box, I was informed that they were not selling tickets there. One could only purchase tickets online and if I had none, then they could not sell me any.
What. The. Fuck.
Pretty much sums up the box office. It is the absolute worst.
The venue itself is pretty cool and one of my favourites of the Cirque residencies. I have been in almost the back row on the extremes and even with bad vision, it is not far enough from the stage to make it a problem.
The concession/bar area seems like a complete fucking mess because it is entirely too narrow for the average U.S. American size of event-goer, but I have never purchased libations here so it is not being taken into account in my rating.
In-n-outs are permitted, which is cool as fuck, but they do scan you out before leaving. Keep your ducat because they will scan you again as if you were arriving for the first time when you re-enter. - E
