The oldest of Cirque du Soleil's shows started in 1993 and I finally got to watch it Feb 2018! There were amazing acrobatics and acts that had us all clapping. My favorite characters were the old man that causes mayhem and the fat baby with his "pa pa". The Hand to Hand act with the two crazy strong men was my favorite act.
We bought our tickets at one of the discounted ticket booth outside of the Mirage and saved at least $20/per ticket. The only downside is that they cannot assign seats and you have to walk to Treasure Island afterwards to reserve your seats but it's just next door to the Mirage anyways.
We thought sitting in the front row would be a good idea, but the railing obstructed our view a little bit. The guy at Treasure Island that helped us pick our seats lied about that part and also printed out the seats on the wrong side and was too lazy to change them. Sit in at least the second row so the railing isn't in your view. But because we were sitting in the front, some of my friends got picked in participating in Brian Le Petit's mayhem and it was hilarious!
Supposedly there is a snail that appears in the beginning and it grows larger and larger as the production goes on, but I didn't notice it until the very end.
