Need recommendations for Las Vegas show in early November

Will be accompanying my husband to a conference in Las Vegas in early November.
We'll be staying at the Wynn. Wanted to see Le Reve, but no shows on the two nights we have available (Wed or Thurs). Can only see one show and need to make a decision as soon as possible. Have narrowed down to Beatles Love, KA, Mystere, David Copperfield or Million Dollar Quartet(we've already seen O). Which would you choose?

I would go with Beatles Love. I've seen Love and Mystere. Haven't seen Ka but know others who have and only got so-so reviews on it. Mystere is good so I would see that over Ka.

Donny & Marie also do a great show as a FYI.

I just saw Love in March and hated it. I thought it would be more acrobatic, and instead it was just a bunch of dancing skits set to Beatles music. On the other hand, I have seen Mystere twice and was blown away both times. I guess I just love Cirque's acrobatics so much, that's what I want to see.

I've seen them all; always like Mystere but is Viva Elvis still running? If so, I'd go back in a heart beat

I saw Mystere and Love. I "loved" the Beatle music back in the day and I loved that show. It depends on your own personal taste. I would choose that show over anything else and I have seen La Reve as well. They actually put me to sleep. Is the old time Jubilee still there it is like the old time las vegas shows. I saw that and really enjoyed it as well.

It was not an option, but I would go with what TerryLFred said. Donny & Marie...or Mystere. Either way it will be enjoyable. Have fun!

Agree with whoever said they hated love. 100 bucks to listen to recorded Beatles tunes and watch the bottom-of-the-barrel of the Cirque performers. That troupe has really watered down it's genes with too many productions and not enough talented performers. What a waste of an evening.

Thanks, again, for your input. Found out we will have Friday evening free, so reserved tickets for Le Reve. They give a discount to Wynn guests.

I just saw Love 3 weeks ago. We had the $100 seats and were so close we could see expressions on the performers faces. I would go again in a heartbeat. There was so much happening it was difficult to know what direction to focus on. I've only seen one other Cirque show before. The guy next to me fell asleep so he apparently wasn't all that impressed.

The other show we saw while in Vegas was Chris Angel's Mindfreak. OK, but not on the caliber of Love.

The Wynn looked really great. Have fun.

We have seen KA and O. Both were AMAZING! I enjoy acrobatics more than dancing and chose these shows for that reason. Mystere is the next on my list.

PS I have also seen David Copperfield. It was okay but I would choose a Cirque performance over it any day.

To me, there's just more depth in LOVE than in most Cirque shows, which are basically just acrobatics.

I agree Little-Man. It is more like a circus show to me although impressive--LOVE had so much more to it, so much going on one did not know where to look and full of surprises you did not know what to expect next. It was invigorating. Mystere--while good and amazing acrobatics, it just puts me to sleep--

My wife and I will be in Vegas the first full week of November. We have reserved tickets for One (new Cirque tribute to Michael Jackson, at Mandalay Bay), Million Dollar Quarter at Harrah's, and Faith Hill/Tim McGraw at Venetian. We've seen all the other Cirque shows in town except for Zumanity. We've enjoyed all of them! Each show is unique and beautifully presented. My personal favorites are O, LeReve, Ka and Love. I would see these four and any of the others again. The majesty, artistry and detailed execution in these productions are inspiring! I vehemently disagree with those who do not like Love: this was an amazing, gorgeous, exhilirating display that I did not want to end!

Have a great time in this fantastic city!
