| - I find that it's important to see the price differences between different shows before being too constructive in my reviews. According to Cirque du Soleil Las Vegas, these are the prices that I got for 2015 (cheapest - most expensive). I want to compare these 4 shows only because they have similar whimsical approach, family-friendly and kids-friendly.
NOTE: Keep in mind that there are ALWAYS offers at the box office and their website. You can also purchase tickets at the Half Price Show Tickets booths everywhere on the strip.
* Mystere (Treasure Island): starting at $85 for regular price (Category 3) to $119 for regular price (Category 1).
* KA show (MGM): starting at $99 for regular price (Category E) to $150 regular price (Category B).
* Zarkana (Aria): starting at $99 for regular price (Category D) to $155 for regular price (Category B).
* "O" (Bellagio): starting at $109 for regular price (Category D) to $155 for regular price (Category B). There are options to purchase VIP Suite Seating but only sell for party of 2 or 4.
(Check out my reviews for other three shows if you are interested.)
_____________________________________________
Zarkana is the youngest acrobatic show out of these 4 shows. Aria is one of the newest casino hotel on the strip, so having Zarkana featured here definitely attracted more traffics to this hotel.
About the actual show, in term of the stage transformation and links between acts, it was not smooth and I believe a lot of previous comments already mentioned that! If we look at the regular pricing, this show has the third most expensive price. It is almost as expensive as buying ticket to see the "O" show which I believe to be the best of the best! I bought my ticket at Half Price Show Tickets for seats on the right side of the orchestra. Still, I was pretty closed to the stage. Then, I wished I only paid for the cheapest seats cos the theater is relatively small comparing to other shows. The sad part was that there were loads of seats opened everywhere in the theater...
One cool thing - you can take photo but without flash! You can also bring in drinks as long as it is not in a glass. You will have to switch to a plastic cup at the front gates of the theater.
Overall, I love watching Cirque de Soleil because I do enjoy experiencing their acrobatic and musical talents, and efforts in stage decorations. If you have never experienced Cirque de Soleil before and don't mind much about the different prices, save your money for the "O" Show. If you are like me, watch all other three before watching Zarkana, don't have your high hopes up because the best thing you may find would be sand drawings in the show. #spoilalerts!
