Love
I think you will get a variety of answers, but I REALLY liked this show. I've seen just about all of the big Vegas shows, and I have to say Love is my new favorite.
The music/sound is stunning (6000 speakers they say). This show is more artistic than the other Cirque shows. If you enjoy Beatles music, it will move you. I was very impressed.
Have Fun---

I'm not a big fan of Beatles songs but I enjoy listening to it. I've seen all the Cirque shows except for Zumanity and Love is my least favorite. IMHO the dancing/acrobatic acts are just not as good as the other shows.

I have friends who are HUGE Beatles fans - they go all across the US (and even to England) for Beatles conventions.
They were here recently to see LOVE and they agreed it was one of the best shows they have ever seen. They tried to get tickets to see it again while they were here, but it was sold out.
Granted, none of them had ever seen a Cirque show before, so that might have something to do with it, but in any case, they are already making plans to return to Las Vegas and buy tickets to see the show again.
I also know a woman here and her son is one of the children in the show - she says it is always sold out and that Cirque is thrilled at the acclaim and rave reviews the show has received.

It was definitely fun and enjoyable, and I would definitely recommend it. It is also definitely different than other Cirque shows that we have seen. Less acrobatics, better music, and less weird stuff.

This is actually kind of why I found it a bit boring (not being a big Beatles fan). But that's just me and I can understand why others would find it fantastic.

It's the Beatles concert you never got to go to.
You get to listen to completely remixed Beatles, personally remixed from the original master recordings for this production by the original, legendary Beatles producer GEORGE MARTIN.
Aside from getting to listen to the Beatles through P.A. loudspeakers -- I'd have gladly paid just for that -- there are stereo speakers built into your headrest.
There are Cirque du Soleil performers who cartwheel and jump hither and yon, and they are OK, and the video effects are first-rate, but nothing compares to the music!
There are no bad seats. Suitable for all ages.

As a Beatles fan the music was excellent. The visual part of the show was inconsistent quality-wise. Some of it was interesting. Some of it just puzzled me. I was sitting near the back so that may have been part of the problem.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but it was horrible. Really, really bad for a Cirque du Soleil show. I love the Beatles music, and it could not save this show. The show is laid out terribly, the visuals are almost non existent, the music is blaring and poorly arranged and the whole thing is just really ill-conceived. I was completely stunned at this show. I believe I've seen 10 or 11 Cirque shows, almost all of them and this was by far the worst. If you have the option of seeing O, Mystere or even Zumanity (Ka isn't great either, skip that one) in Vegas, it would be a poor choice indeed to pick LOVE.
