Purchasing Tickets for "O"
 
I'm going to Vegas the weekend of February 21. I am interested in seeing &quot;O&quot; which is playing at the Bellagio. Can you purchase tickets the day of the show? I know it's a popular show. I want to make alternate plans for another show just in case.<BR>Thanks!

call the bellagio and find out when they put the tix on sale for same day purchase. the line is HUGE. get there very early. have someone stand in line while the other gambles, or something like that. I have heard VERY mixed reviews about O, and better reviews about Misterie, which i think is at the mirage. <BR>

I would suggest buying the tickets ahead of time on the Bellagio website. That way you don't have to worry about the show selling out, and can pick up the tickets at will call the day of the show.

I can't imagine anything negative to say about &quot;O&quot;! (perhaps the $$!)<BR> I am sure if you did a search on &quot;O&quot;, you will see mostly rave reviews!! I have heard great things about Mystere as well.<BR>We saw it and bought tickets weeks in advance and sat in the balcony (which actually was kind of cool, got to see a lot of the behind the scenes stuff). It is a truly memorable show! <BR>I would try to get the tix now! Also, alot of great reviews on Mamma Mia, which we are seeing in May at Mandalay Bay. <BR>Have a great trip!

<BR>Last March we stayed at the Bellagio, we booked the tickets for &quot;O&quot; at the same time as the room, which was about a month in advance, and there were a limited amount of seats left. I believe that people staying in the hotel, might be considered before people staying elsewhere, you really should book as soon as you can. Hope you get to see it, it is amazing!

If you stay at the Bellagio or Treasure Island you can purchase tickets before they go on sale to the public (that's what we did). If you know you want to go to the show..then buy your tickets early because you could get stuck with crummy seats on the floor level. You want to be higher up so you can see what is going on in the air and in the water tank.

Hi,<BR>Last year my sister and I went to LV and wanted to see &quot;O&quot; but didn't buy tickets in time. We stood in line (and they DO start lining up early) to get seats that are either no-shows or the ones that they hold back for high-rollers that don't get used. We were far back in line and waited 1 1/2- 2 hours I think, but we took turns waiting while the other went and gambled. The one out and about would bring the waiting person a drink first, so it wasn't too bad. We ended up with 5th row center seats. Truly the best seats in the house. I would have to disagree that you'd want to be up higher. We didn't miss a thing and loved being close. I don't think we could have gotten such good seats even a month or so in advance. It just depends on how much time you want to invest.<BR><BR>By the way, we loved &quot;O&quot;. My sister has seen both &quot;O&quot; and &quot;Mystere&quot; and liked &quot;O&quot; better, but I know others who feel differently. I don't think you'll be disappointed.<BR><BR>Have fun,<BR>Sandy
