There are 5 shows claiming to be Cirque! Help! Zurmanity from $120, Love from $130 (large place), O from $155, KA from $145 and Mystere from $100 on a stool or 140. Prices are all for the cheapest left over during the week. We will be there Sun, Oct 1 thru the 6th.
Need some comments and help. Will pay the price (last show we went to was $45), but will need to sit in the nosebleeds.
Forget the prices, I found another sight for the cirque, with lower ones. Still, which is the best or better or not good and is it assigned seating, so the line is not an issue?
All Cirque shows in Las Vegas are assigned seating. But you should still arrive about 30 minutes before official showtime as there's often a "pre-show."
Although everyone will have their favorite Cirque show, I am really a fan of O. It is just incredible; I have seen it three (or is it four?) times and would gladly see it three more times. But they are all good. If you are a huge Beatles fan, you'll probably get a kick out of Love, their newest show. It has a lot of energy. Ka is very impressive technically (and has more of a traditional "storyline" than the other Cirque productions), but I didn't find it to be as magical as O. I also really like the music in O, which is performed by live musicians. Mystere is the cheapest show and is classic Cirque, but it's not as "grand" as O or Ka. I probably wouldn't waste time with Zumanity.
I'm not sure I would trust sites claiming to give discounted tickets to the Cirque productions; almost all of them sell out every night (possibly excluding Mystere, which is the oldest), so I haven't heard that they're typically discounted. In each case you can buy tickets directly (on-line) from the casino hosting the show, and it will indicate the seat number(s). In some cases you can get an electronic ticket e-mailed to you, which you can print out.
