Las Vegas shows
 

First time to Vegas. Someone please prioritize this list. Tell me what jumps out, what is a must see, what's worth the money. We are probably only going to see 1 show.

Blue Man Group
Lance Burton
Danny Ganz
any of the Cirque shows

did I forget any?

I really need help deciding. Thanks!

Mystere. That's the one at the top of our to see list. I didn't love Blue Man much.

I've read rave reviews of the Cirque show "Love" at the Mirage. If I were going to Vegas again, that's what I'd go see.

Of all the Le Cirque shows, I probably enjoyed Mystere the most (I have not yet seen "Love"). I saw Le Reve last weekend, and it was pretty good, and the theater is superior to that hosting "O". In my opinion, though, no show is worth $150, and that's what "Love" costs. "Ka" was impressive but didn't really grab my attention as I would have liked, so I was very disappointed.

Of the shows you mention, I think you get the best show for your money with either Lance Burton (but you have to love magic) or Blue Man Group (but you have to enjoy whimsical performance art). If you have never seen a Cirque show, then go see Mystere.

The upper tier tickets for LOVE are less than $100. I think these are actually better seats since you actually see everything going on. At one point a huge parachute covers the orchestra audience and you miss seeing the effect of it magically disappearing if you are under it. I've seen all the Cirque shows and O, Mystere and LOVE are the best. Ka and Zumanity are just okay.

Tell us a little about yourself. What types of shows do you usually enjoy?
