Las Vegas: "O" or "LOVE"
 
Have an opportunity to see either LOVE or O in Las Vegas this summer. Which do you recommend? Also, what seats should I try to get?

I saw Love in December and they are correct when they say there really is not a bad seat in the house. My dh loved "O" I did not have a chance to see it. I think if you like music a lot then Love is a great one to see -

If you are a Beatles fan, go to Love. Better seats are mid theater. Do not get seats near the stage or you will miss 2/3 of the action.

Love - I've seen it twice already. I agree that the $125 seats are best.

O has much more production value with the water effects and more talented physical acts. Love is a grand circus with chaos and a fantastic soundtrack. I guess to sum it up, O has WOW factor and Love has Fun old time circus factor. Goodluck deciding! Haven seen both, it's like apples and oranges - 2 completely different experiences.

LOVE! its amazing! Seen it 4 times!

I was torn over the same decision when we went in March - we ended up seeing "O" since it's so unique and I'd heard nothing but rave reviews, and it definitely lived up to the hype!

I don't think you can go wrong with either, but seriously - "O" is freaking unbelievable. The production and staging just leaves you gaping.

I hate throw a wrinkle in your picks, but we found O...just OK. Maybe it's just us, but we loved Mystere and only liked O.

We've seen both. Although we grew up with the Beatles we found that many of the songs seemed unfamiliar to us and repetitive sounding. This was also the opinion of our friends who attended with us.

O was fabulous in our opinion and we are considering seeing it again on our next Vegas trip. A VERY different production.

I've seen both. If this is your first Cirque show, see "O"

Love them both. I saw <b>Love</b> last month. Definitely fun, but more of a &quot;happening&quot; than the aerobatic/aquatic athletics of <b>O</b>.

For your first Cirque show, I'd go with <b>O</b>.

I've seen them both and loved them both. It's like your kids, different in every way and lovable for their differences.
O is easthetically more creative, graceful and athletic. Love is frivolous, generally more lighthearted and nostalgic, at times melancholy.
What's your level of comfort with The Beatles? If you have an attachment, it's an emotional show. If not, and you're viewing them both for purely entertainment reasons, then O would be your preference. As &quot;eye candy&quot; goes, O is as sweet as it comes.
If you need some time to revisit, reminisce and maybe shed a tear, it's Love.

if you love the Beatles and are more of a music lover than an acrobatic lover, definitely &quot;LOVE&quot;.
If you are more a spectacle lover, than &quot;O&quot;.
I loved Love.
