I just saw le Reve, I have seen LOVE and Mystere. I have not seen "O". I think he would like Love out of them all I have seen to compare it is my favorite. If he likes music a lot I would opt for that--if he is a swimmer Le Reve. You know him best---Mystere I believe has the best prices, and it is more like a circus to me. But still very good.

I would recommend KA. It has a lot of action in it that I think a teen boy would like. You can also get reasonably priced tickets for it right now. See: http://www.vegashotelspecial.com/shows/15-K%C3%80/

LOL Spirodog: Zumanity of course.
If he likes action - KA 4 sure. O is a lot the same as Reve or vice versa. Good over water performance.
Mystere may still be as good as any of them and usually is less expensive/has some discounts.
About the only one we haven't seen if the Beatles one - Love? whatever. Heard the songs are great.

I think he might actually like Ka better...who knows...but since there were a few negative recommendations for Ka and none for O...decided to go with the latter. And perhaps his dad and I will like O better also. Thanks for all the input.

O is my wife's favorite and I thought it was also very good. I just thought a young boy might like the action more in KA.
And Zumanity has themes that I do not think are really that appropriate for a young boy - and I ain't no prude either.

Having arrived back from Vegas now and seen O, I wanted to add my review of it here for others considering seeing the show. I know there are all kinds of tastes and so wanted to give my opinion based on the type of stuff I like so others might be able to decide where their tastes lie. If you like things like ballet, opera, and synchronized swimming, you will probably like O.
I absolutely hated the show. It was the first Cirque du Soleil I've ever seen so perhaps didn't know what to expect. Perhaps naively, due to the price of the tickets, I didn't realize it was an amalgam of circus acts...fire twirlers, contortionists, synchronized swimmers, clown act a la 3 Stooges, etc. The acts, props, characters seemed all totally random. There was no theme or continuity. The music was all instrumental or operatic. I felt like I was watching America's Got Talent or The Gong Show.
Note that on a scale of 1-10, I'd give it a 1...but my son did enjoy it somewhat more. He'd probably give it a 5.
