any MUST-SEE shows in Vegas?

[compman25]

Holy crap, all you people think Mystere was great????? I thought that was the dumbest thing ever. Oh well.

Good thread. We're going to Vegas for Thanksgiving and so far all we have planned is Beatles Love.

Here are all the shows I've seen in Vegas, with a x/5 rating. Keep in mind that one or two of these shows no longer exist. If you want to know why I rated the way I did, ask about a particular show and I'll elaborate.

Seigfried & Roy: 4/5
Mystere: 5/5
O: 4/5
Lord of the Dance: 1/5
Jubilee: 3/5
Zumanity: 3.5/5
Wayne Brady: 4/5
Jerry Seinfeld: 5/5

Wayne Brady was awesome. If you're a fan of "Whose line is it anyways", definitely check it out.

crud.. already bought a ticket through bellagio.

thanks for the link, though

edit: btw, i think those 50 tickets are "limited view" seats - still better than nothing.

those $50 seats are down in the front section (at least our seats for Ka are - Row J Section 103)...

$125 tickets for $50 each... ...

The Blue Man Group was good, but it wasnt $100 good...just buy the Complex Rock Tour DVD for $15...as we were walking about of the show, pretty much half the people loved it and the other half felt ripped off (show was okay, but not worth the ticket price)....

wow.. you're right. i had used a similar link for $50 tix and they were all limited view.

it looks like TM gives you much better seats if available.

i wonder if La Reve is just like cirque du soleil? anyone have a comparison?

 

[goog40]

I thought La Reve was decent, but Mystere was much better IMO. Also, another thumbs up for Phantom and BMG.

I might have to turn in my man card, but I thought Mamma Mia was really good too.

 

[jaybert]

Ka was pretty amazing w/ the rotating stage. I bought the cheapest tickets ~$80/ticket or something and sat in the last row in the back. View was still great.

Something not Cirque would be...

Magic shows? : Lance Burton
Musicals? : Spamalot (if you like monte python sp.? Quest for the holy Grail you'd find this one pretty funny)
Concerts? :iunno if you're a fan of elton john or something, hes playing at Caesars. i know nothing about it.

I've seen most every Cirque though, so I would suggest Ka, O, or La Reve, in no particular order.
