Cirque du Soleil

lellymine · January 2014

DH and I just decided to do Vegas for our last hurrah before the baby. I want to see a cirque du soleil show but I'm not sure which one is best. Has anyone gone to one and loved it? Even better if you've gone to more than one and have a favorite!

Ooh, I wanna know too! We're going to Vegas in February with my family, and a Cirque du Soleil show is at the top of my must-do list.

All cirque shows are awesome. I haven't been to any of the Vegas ones but nonw of them are bad. I've seen quidam and kooza. Both amazing.

We had gone to a show at TI and it was interesting... After the show I did ask DH if I was suppose to be on drugs before hand. We also went to Chris angles mind freak that was pretty cool I even got to be on stage and still had no idea how he did the act. I may not be the cirque du soleil type of person though.

But on a food note if you have the money and like buffets goto the Wynn spendy but so good!

Ok this isn't show-related, but don't forget to eat crepes at the buffet inside The Paris!

I think "O" was my favorite of the shows I've seen, although Love (the Beatles one) was also fantastic.

I have heard that Love is amazing!

tlcalloway · January 2014

Big fans of cirque du soleil... we went to Vegas in 2008 and saw O and Love... both were great and are a little different from the previously released shows... O because it has the water element and Love because of the music. Both are fantastic. We wanted to see zumanity which is the adults only one but it was sold out. I don't think you could go wrong with any one of them

sarahlynnc317 · January 2014

I liked "O" best.

Kmlinville · January 2014

My mom has seen a couple and her fav is Quidam.

lellymine · January 2014

Awesome! I've read good things about O so I'm glad to hear that they were true!

This. Most of the Vegas Cirque shows we've seen are good, but O and Love are my favorites. Le Reve is good too. I wasn't impressed with Ka.

JNerd · January 2014

I've seen a few, but none in Vegas. They are fantastic and nearly over-stimulating. Every show I've seen has been one of the best live performances I've ever seen. I think you would be hard pressed to find a 'bad' one.

Have fun on your trip!

bhead81 · January 2014

Mystere is my favorite by far. O was great too but Mystere has been my favorite of any Cirque shows.

crestedlady · January 2014

We went to "O," and I agree that it is great.

Luna C · January 2014

I've seen Mystere and O. I loved both, as did Dude. The shows are generally similar (light on plot, heavy on acrobatics) but each has their own different spin on the same idea to make them different. You really can't go wrong with any of them.

But they aren't for everyone. (I was really afraid Dude would hate his first one.) I would recommend going to whichever one you can get the cheapest tix for. That way, if you hate it, you're out less money. And if you love it, you got a great deal and have a better idea of which others shows you might like. (There are discount ticket brokers all over LV. Ask at your hotel too, to see if they have any special deals.)

Unrelated, but I will also highly recommend the Paris buffet (SOOO GOOD) and heading to the Voodoo Lounge at the Rio (before the cover charge kicks in) for the best nighttime view of the strip. It's amazing.

Have fun!

BabyCurtiss2014 · January 2014

They are all great! I vote Love if you like the Beatles

melaneejo · January 2014

Le Reve is by far the best one I have seen. I've seen almost all the cirque shows and that is my favorite. It's an aquatic love story.

powellje1 · January 2014

O is one of my favorites! Only consider Love if you are a huge Beatles fan. I didn't enjoy Love nearly as much as O.

RedMar · January 2014

Cirque is amazing!! H isn't a big fan of theater or live performances, but I took a chance and got us tickets for our anniversary a couple years ago. He still talks about it today and how he'd like to see another show

MissBHaven1024 · January 2014

I have been to Vegas 3 times and have done a Cirque du Soleil show each trip! I have seen Zumanity (at New York New York), Mystère at Treasure Island, and KÀ at MGM Grand. I was hopeful to see Zarkana at the Aria hotel on my most recent trip, but they weren't doing shows while we were there.

Zumanity is by far my favorite of the ones I have seen, and I would go see it again in a heartbeat. It's very sensual and sexy! DH was pulled up onstage during their orgy act. It was hilarious to see him get so shy! He came back to his seat with his shirt on backwards and belt buckle undone! It was awesome! He was a great team player!

BTW, I am super jealous that you get to go to Vegas! I love it there!

This was my favorite we were there in April. KA was good too and living social had tickets for cheaper.

nunzchucks · January 2014

I've seen Quidam in person and have seen most of the others shown on Bravo or PBS. I agree with above posters. You really can't go wrong. They are so amazing!

Several years ago, Bravo had a reality show about what goes into making a Cirque show. You would not believe the intense training they do.

Ladybird2014 · January 2014

All of the cirque shows are amazing.

On another note- now I want to go to Vegas just to eat crepes at Paris!!!

Pepper6 · January 2014

The only one I've seen in person was La Reve at the Wynn and I loved it. The water aspect of it was amazing andi loved the theater set up. It's 360 with steep Stadium seating so there's not a single bad seat.

rileymiller · January 2014

O at the Belligo! It was amazing! My hubby was hesitant but with the water and the amazing job they do he loved it!

YES! I always try to do brunch at Paris, especially Sunday morning (champagne)

lellymine · January 2014

Awesome! Thanks for all the suggestions, we'll have a good head start on deciding which one to go to. And we'll definitely be stopping at the Paris casino!

Bmcmullin01 · January 2014

I've seen like 5 shows and KA by far is my favorite!! Mystere is fun also..but my husband and i love Ka!

Pepper6 · January 2014

Also, if you aren't picky of which one to see,I recommend waiting to buy tickets when you get there at one of the tix4tonight booths. They sell discounted same day show tickets and usually have cirque shows except O and love as those are the most popular. I think we saved about $30-$40 per ticket on La Reve buying that way.

TonyaCody06 · January 2014

The shows are the best part of Vegas! We saw "O" and loved it!

lauren8384 · January 2014

Mystere was my favorite!!! Ka is really good and le reve was a little different. We want to see O, but they were off last time we were there. The best show we have seen is Vegas, The show. It is the history of Vegas, and the tickets are pretty inexpensive.
