O or Mystere?
 
I'm torn... I want to see both but can only afford one. I want to your input about these shows. Which one would you prefer? Are balcony seats okay? Thanks.

I've only actually seen Mystere and had seats pretty far in the back. It's fabulous, and was really good, though it would have been twice as good if we'd been able to sit close up (but buying tickets on the same day as the show gives you few choices). I'm afraid to say that, though I've heard good things about O, the price is just too much for me. You definitely won't be disappointed in Mystere, so I'd say go see it.

We saw O in December of last year. Had balcony seats, and they were good. If you can get lower seats, that would be even better. As for the show it was awesome!! Very different from any of the other cirque shows, but very good. A friend of mine saw Mystere and they said that show was very good too! You can't go wrong with either one. We plan on going back to Vegas later in the year to see Mystere since we picked O. Enjoy yourselves!

Both shows are breathtaking. Use your credit card and see both. -:) Trust me you won't regret overspending.

Without a doubt, "O." Mystere is a good Cirque show, but "O" will leave you saying "WOW!" for quite some time. The theater is specially designed just for this show and can go from solid stage to deep diving pool in no time at all. We had Loggia level seats and were very happy with them (they are seats that are actually individual arm chairs). The orchestra seats are closer, but they are also more expensive and do not provide the perspective of being able to see down into the pool. Oh, yeah . . . and don't be late. You don't want to miss the beginning. Have fun!

I've seen both within the past 2 years and, if I HAD to select just one, it would be O. Simply spectacular and completely different from anything else. A wonderful experience. (but do try to get to both...)

I haven't seen O but saw Mystere recently - had front row seats. Actually, these aren't as good as row 2 - 5 as there is a high rail that will block your view unless you are tall.

I've seen both. If I had to choose, I would recommend "O" over "Mystere." Balcony seats are fine, but I think the lower seats are even better. <BR><BR>However, if possible, splurge and see both.

O wins hands down. Mystere possibly has better acrobatic stunts but O was an incredible experience.
