Best Las Vegas Show Recommendations
 
We just booked a trip to Vegas Dec 14-17 and I wanted to see a show. Of course all the ones I really want to see are Dark (O, Love, Le Reve...)

What's the best Cirque show or other show that hopefully will be playing for those dates? My husband wants to see Blue Man but I'm not so sure I really want to see that.

Jersey Boys is really good and we love Mamma Mia. I'm not interested in seeing Blue Man Group either. Have a great time in Vegas.

You can get recommendations here: www.cheapovegas.com (LOVE this website!)

The week that you'll be there will be pretty quiet. That's just after the National Finals Rodeo leaves town.

We've been to 5 Cirque shows & like LOVE & Mystere best (do not go to Chris Angel -Believe). As for Blue Man Group, I went a couple years ago as part of conference and was really surprised by how much I enjoyed the show.

I second Mystere. This Cirque show has been playing for a while, so it is less expensive than O and Le Reve, but the best in my opinion. It is very athletic. I liked it enough to see it twice, which I have not bothered with any of the others.

I saw Jersey Boys in San Francisco, so I'm not sure how good the Las Vegas production is, but have to assume that it is just as good. If you like rock and roll, this one's for you!

We saw the Blue Man Group last summer in Vegas! It's a very entertaining show! I also loved Mystere!!

Was there last month. Jersy Boys was ALMOST as good as Broadway. You will enjoy it.

Also saw Ka (Cirque). Amazing, as all are. Not "O" but good.

You can put me down as another vote for Mystere. I think it is one of the best Cirque shows.

I've seen Mystere (3x), LOVE (2x), "O" (2x) and Ka! and Mystere is my favorite!

Thanks people! I had been thinking about Mystere and the prices area little better too. I'm thinking that will probably be the one.

Can you get discount tickets to Mystere? Would it be appropriate for an 11 yo?

MichelleY Dec 6th, 2008 10:36 PM

ncounty: I think you can get the dicount tickets for Mystere. Our daughter was about 9 when we saw a Cirque show in San Francisco and was totally enthralled with the performance.

My son saw Mystere when he was 12 years old and loved it!

Great, thanks MichelleY and Mike's mom! I'll look for tickets to Mystere next week.
