I am wondering which ones to choose, looking at KA, Love , O and Mystere any others I should look at. We are a party of adults have no interest in Zumanity .

They're all great, although I haven't seen Love. You left out Le Reve, a water show like O. I think Mystere is the oldest one there but still amazing. KA is a mind blower. You can't go wrong whatever you do.

La Reve is not a Cirque Show

Huh, you're right. It sure looks exactly like a Cirque show. But, whatever, they do call it LE Reve.

The Cirque website has videos up for all their shows. You might want to check those and see what you like most.
I saw O and it is really beautiful.

After a run of slightly underwhelming Cirque shows at the Royal Albert Hall, I saw O in Vegas and was completely awed by it. But steer clear of the splash zone! ;-)

I've only seen Love and enjoyed it a great deal! (Granted, this was maybe 4 years ago.)

I haven't seen KÀ and was completely underwhelmed by Love, but O and Mystère were great. I also second the suggestion of Le Rêve at the Wynn. It's not Cirque, but was created by Franco Dragone (who directed O and Mystère.) |

Joining this party a little late, it is my understanding that Franco Dragone was fairly much responsible for establishing Cirque's basic style so a Dragone show might as well be a Cirque show, whether or not it was produced by Dragone separately. |

I enjoyed Le Rêve at the Wynn and KÀ. We were too stingy to fork out full price for O at the time and went with whatever was offering discounts.
To be honest, I had expected a bit more of a mindblowing experience, considering it was VEGAS and CIRQUE and whatnot, but still, solid entertainment which I don't regret.

I've seen KÀ, Mystere and O in this order on different trips. Never seen a Cirque du soleil anywhere else.
I was very impressed by KÀ, but I just saw it a couple of weeks before the fatal accident and I believe that they cut the last scene after that. That final scene was one of the highlights but even without it's probably still amazing, specially if you're into tench staff, that stage! You have you see it to believe it!
I also really enjoyed Mystery and it really surprised me considering it's the oldest Cirque du soliel show playing in Vegas, I also believe is one of the cheapest and the easiest to get tickets to.
O, on the other hand, was defiantly my less favorite but it's also one of the most populars and difficult to get tickets to.
I believe the most "theatre like" show is Zarkana that plays at the cosmopolitan. If I was in Vegas again I think that would be my choice.
Hace a great time!

I saw Mystère, O and KÀ when i was in Las Vegas in March. Mystère is definitely the more traditional one and I was surprised how much i liked it. KÀ is mindblowing but i felt difficult to connect with the action. The 'frame' of the stage is huge (as it has to accommodate several moving stages' and the stages only fill part of it. Therefore, for me anyway, it felt a bit empty and distant and my mind did wander off at times. The highlight for me was O... such a beautiful show, great acts and sometimes difficult to understand how some are done.
As another poster commented, you cannot go wrong though...
I am not sure when you are going but approximately a month before the date, Cirque du Soleil releases discount tickets on their website.

I'm guessing the original poster will have been to Vegas already and seen something...
My vote is for 'O', the most original, breathtaking show you are ever likely to see anywhere, beating Le Reve (not Cirque but Dragone, creator of Celine Dion's A New Day at Caesar's) by a whisker or two because of its sheer size. Le Reve has been through several incarnations too, and having seen it twice, I preferred its first version!
'O' is the best.
Ka is superb, and Mystere too. Love is great. Zumanity is also worth a go. Criss Angel is appalling (got a refund for inaccurate representation on Cirque's website). Not seen the Michael Jackson show- doesn't appeal.
Offers for all shows on Cirque's website, depending on when you want to go.

I saw Mystere shortly after it first opened, and O when that first opened , I haven't seen any other of Cirque du Soleil's Las Vegas shows, but Mystere was my favourite . I wonder who is now recreating the comedy element in Mystere , which was (I believe) created by Brian Andro. Their shows which I've seen at the Albert Hall always seem "lost" in that big space . |

I got my discounted tickets for KA and Mystery on the day of the performance at the half price tickets booth outside the Paris hotel and for O at the show's box office, I don't think it was discounted, I'm not sure

We really enjoyed "One" last summer. I'm not a major Michael Jackson fan, but the staging was great, even if they tried to weave a story around it that didn't quite work

Hi,
I'm new to the forum and I am into musical theatre an Cirque du Soleil. I am watching the shows in Vegas quite frequently.
Cause this thread poped up, I may give you some updates.
'Love' get some new acts, some different songs etc. about two years ago. It didn't work out for me after the changes, but constantly works on their shows.
They also changed some acts and music on Mystere a few years ago. They lost the 'storyline' after that, but the show is in a really good shape. Saw it for the third time in may this year.
I love 'O' and I am one of the few poeple who loves 'Zumanity' a show more european cabaret style. In 'Zumanity' they changed the acts frequently.
Cause someone mentioned Le Reve (no Cirque du soleil show) and Dragone. Le Reve changed over the years from a dark to a disneyish dream. It changed most this year, with new music and 'love and believe in you' songs. Also new lightning design. There isn't any Dragone in that show anymore. Steve Wynns wife didn't like the dark theme of the show and they started to change things constantly over the years.
Also Zarkana was mentioned. They closed ist years ago at the Aria. In my opinion it had great acts but the storyline didn't work out. At the beginning (Tour) Garou had to sing silly cirquisch songs. They changed it to english, tightened the show but they couldn't find a people that liked to see it.
In my opinion go for 'O' KA or Mystere in this order and decide on the short videos you can see on their homepage.

I’m going to book for O at the Bellagio if it’s still around next April, as well as a magic/comedy/concert show but can’t decide which. I’m toying between Celine Dion, Carrot Top or Criss Angel (although I’ve read mixed reviews on his show).

'O' didn't change over the years. I still prefer first or second row in the middle. Quite impressive from this seats.
I have to say, I liked Chris Angel. Saw it two years ago. But also have to say I was the only one in our Group and I didn't expect anything. We had a good discount and seats in the middle.
Celine Dion did a good show. Was at the premiere of her second run (not the Dragone Celine Show, that's available on DVD). I'm not used to listen to her music, but seeing her live was quite a thing. Had a seat far away, but she has such a strong presence, it's like she is singing only for you.

I’m toying between Celine Dion, Carrot Top or Criss Angel (although I’ve read mixed reviews on his show). O will still be around; it’s probably their most successful show in Vegas, but be aware that all shows there go dark for a couple of weeks at a time. If you have set your heart on a particular show, you’ll need to plan ahead and build your holiday around it. I have no idea why Cirque continue their association with Criss Angel. I imagine they can’t release their name from the show for some contractual reason. I saw it some years back. It was the worst Cirque show I have ever seen, and I have seen a few! (Read some Tripadvisor reviews!) It bore so little resemblance to the promotional video on their website that after emailing them on my return (I’d seen O, Love and Zumanity in the same week) they refunded my tickets and booking fees in full. You have been warned...! |

Chriss Angle has a ten year contract. The show will end it's run in October, when his contract expires. I saw the revamped 'Mindfreak Live'. Didn't see the mess years ago. The actual show has only a few of this former elements.
(This is no recommendation ;-)
