Even without the benefit of this informed opinion, I believe I would have appreciated the acts and found the show entertaining overall. \n\nI've been to many Cirque Du Soleil shows, and in my opinion Cavalia is loosely speaking in the same league as Cirque's traveling shows. Cirque has far more impressive acrobatics but they are human, Cavalia's stars are horses. Regular people would have a hard time even mounting a horse, let alone riding 6 horses at a time running full speed. \n\nI purchased the Rendez-Vous tickets and this is where I was disappointed. As I'm used to the Cirque Du Soleil Tapis-Rouge (VIP) packages, this is my direct comparison. Cavalia's VIP package ensures good seats, pre-show open-bar and finger foods, dessert during intermission, a souvenir, and access to the stables after the show to see the horses. I was surprised that although there was a preferred parking area closer to the tent, I still had to pay a separate $20 to park there. The pre-show VIP tent was pedestrian compared to Cirque Du Soleil. Whereas Cirque offered finger foods worthy of a 5-star hotel cocktail party, Cavalia served up stale California rolls and teriyaki chicken skewers. \n\nCavalia is still a great show, just don't bother with their Rendez-Vous tickets as it definitely isn't worth the extra cost."^^ .
