| - Having heard so much about Cirque de Soleil and Ka I have to say I was looking forward to seeing it. Wow, was I disappointed.
I went with a tight group of coworkers after a nice dinner, everything was set for a great show to cap off a good night. Didn't happen. The theater is massive which means that we blew massive amounts for tickets $300+ easily and were still quite far from the stage and not even in the center section (tho our seats were on the aisle bordering the center section). I can't imagine how much people farther up/center section paid. What a waste. The theater is just too large, too grand.
The acrobatics/gymnastics/etc were impressive, but you know, and can at many times, see the wires supporting everyone allowing them to perform the feats. Sure takes a lot away from the performance. My favorite part of the performance was a scene when there were a few men atop/inside rotating wheels - imagine massive revolving hamster wheels with men jumping from inside to outside the wheel while the wheels rotated in a circle - this was incredible. But the rest of the performance just seemed either gimmicky or simple.
Ka also claims to have a plot. This is a ridiculous claim, I couldn't follow the plot whatsoever. There was some guy who was trying to save some girl I think, but it made no sense and was totally disjointed. Almost as if every now and then the writers thought, oh right, we have that plot thing we have to reference.
Save your money and don't waste your time. Vegas has soooo many other vastly superior options, do something else.
