Cirque du Soleil --- "O" Worth $100???

Who has seen this show? The pictures on the Cirque du Soleil website look kind of strange. Is this show as fantastic as everyone says and is it worth the time and the $200 for my husband and I to go? Would love to hear some opinions. Thanks.

My brother-in-law and his wife went to see "O". Afterwards, they said it was great and they didn't complain about the price, so I guess they felt it was worth it.

But geez -- $100 a ticket for a Las Vegas show? I don't know if I could bring myself to do it.

Have watched Cirque de Sole on the television (Bravo station) many times. Saw it in person in Chicago and YES, it is worth it. There is nothing like it - not even close!!! Spend the money to see the show and check out your TV Guide every week to see if it is on to tape.

We saw the show in Vegas last winter. It was fabulous! We got tickets over the phone from home. Luckily the operator suggested not taking front row, we sat about the 15th row on the end of the aisle. We had a great view, as the show is going on in the air, the aisle and all over the stage. Do yourselves a favor and go.
P.S. We also saw Sigfried and Roy. It was entertaining (Loved the white tigers/lions) but extremely predicatable--Cirque du Soleil isn't!!!

My husband & I saw "O" last month and thought it was worth the money. We has front row balcony seats and enjoyed the view. However, we had to lean forward the whole time to see over the railing. The show is different than anything I've ever seen. I definitely recommend it.

Guess I'll be the only one to partially disagree. We saw it the end of Feb. & preferred "Mystere" (also a Cirque du Soleil presentation, $70 @ Treasure Island). They are both wonderful, but our group of 3 agreed that Mystere would be our choice. Have a great time!

yes the show is great! If you have not seen a Cirque De Soleil Show I would recomend "Mystere" first. "O" is great but if you are not into art for arts' sake you may miss the point. We preffered Mystere but were glad to see "O". If you pinch pennys as a hobby, stick with the free or $20. shows. You really can't put a price on a show like these. They are fantastic!

Thank you everyone for your responses!!
We can't get into "O" 'cus it's sold out, but we will get to see Mystere. I'm feeling much better about Cirque du Soleil after your responses. Thanks again!!
