| - I know I might be crucified for this, but I really do not see why so many people give this show a 5 star review. Yes it has some nice acrobats, and yes the music is great, but the reality is, to me, to stands very short of other Cirque shows and some of the few non Cirque shows on the strip.
First off this is one of the most expensive shows and it always seems to sell out, or almost at least. So you'd expect it to be the best of them all. So there is a man on fire. So there are two clowns who take up twenty minutes of the show (in between sets, I assuming so the actors and change). And honestly that is all that I can think of that was amusing. Perhaps I have seen too many of these shows and expect too much.
For a water show they really only used the pool as a set, to make ascetically pleasing, but other than that they fell very short on the action and usage of the water. The whole show, to me, was full of dancing and a few actions that were cool, but mostly just the standard show of strength and what not. The boat scene, however, was the best part of the show, hands down, and if they had incorporated that throughout the show, then I would be able to see the hype.
But I don't, and so I will say that the 'Other' water show on the strip is much better.
