| - This was my third time coming to Vegas, and I've been wanting to go to a Cirque show, but not wanting to dish out the heaps of money for tickets each time I'd been (and had never seen Cirque tickets at the half off ticket booth). Lucky for me, Mystere was having an anniversary sale, so all tickets for the time we were there were half off through their website! I got tickets for my husband and me, as well as my parents as a gift for my dad's birthday, in the very front of the cheap seats section. This is not a large theater, so I don't know that there would really be a bad seat in the house.
So we showed up excited to have the best of the cheap seats. The four of us found our seats, were just getting settled, when one of the ushers comes over to our section and asks if anyone wants to move further down front, that they have some open seats. We immediately volunteer, and when she found out there were four in our group, told us she could actually put us in the center section. We ended up third row, center! It was awesome.
The show itself was great as well. I obviously can't compare it to the other Vegas Cirque shows, but I did see one of the travelling ones, and it is definitely even better when they have a home theater to work from with fancy moving stages. The acts were incredible - I think the most impressive were the two strong men/contortionists. I've seen that done before, but never with this amount of skill. The clown was straight up hilarious and had my dad worried that our seat moving was somehow a trap to make us part of the show (it wasn't). These performers are clearly giving their all every night in this show, and it was pretty amazing.
