Hoping to see one of the Cirque du Soleil shows in Vegas when we head there later this year to attend the Street Car Super Nationals race. We are leaning more towards seeing the one called "O." Anyone have any recommendations or is that the show to see?

Also, we haven't been to Vegas in years. What is the go to casino these days?

I've seen just about all of them, and O and Love are my favorites. If you like the Beatles music, go see Love.

I don't remember the name of the one we saw a few years ago ... but it was awesome. I would definitely go again.

I saw the H2O show about 3 years ago and it was astonishing. I'm just a dumb carpenter and was dreading going to this show but as soon as it was over I thought this would be very entertaining for my wife and kids. The athletes that perform in these shows are amazing as well as the artistic approach to presenting a story.

The Cirque du Soliel shows are truly amazing and worth the price of admission.

They were set up at Dodger stadium this year instead of Santa Monica pier. I have never been but bought a few items off the crew at Dodger stadium a few months ago and got the low down on there operation. The admission covers a lot of stuff, there Hotel bills must be insane. They had 32 semi trailers just for hauling the tent and a bad ass custom attachment for there bobcat for driving the monster stakes that hold the tent down. I was tempted to hit them up for some passes now I wish I did.

When you going? Me and the wife go to Vegas every year late September/ early October for a week or so. We don't have our dates set this year.

I've been to a few different cirque shows, and they are all great. If I could pick one, I'd recommend seeing O.

We like them all and have seen Mystere a few times.
Dunno if it's still running but they did cut it back considerably.

It was incredible when it opened. Great for kids.

Love if you like the Beatles.

O seems to keep getting better.
Their was one that was mostly nude performers, I forget the name, not our favorite.

Some of the various shows female performers when injured, that is walking wounded, or on hiatus, work part time bar tending / cocktailing at the PT's Pub (gold) off the 15 in route to the racetrack. 2135 E Centennial Pkwy, North Las Vegas, NV
You can easily get to know them and they are really interesting people with interesting histories and great stories.

One of the few exceptions to RD's rule that no girl is a 10.
Some of them are solid 10's.

Last time I saw the O show - we had really good seats dead center about 10 rows up.

Just as the show was ready to start I was thinking wow the row in front of us was wide open - I'll be able to put my feet up.

Then just as the light started to go down - in comes Aerosmith - the whole band and their dates - I had Steven T sitting right in front of me. Crazy to watch an entertainer be entertained. He really enjoyed the show!

We are going in November. Mainly going to see the Street Car Super national show at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and figured would see one of these shows while we are there.

We are leaning more towards "O"

Leaning more towards "O". The nude one I think is called "Zarkana"

I have seen all of them some a few times and they are great. Zumanity was the exception... I didn't like it. If you want to go see skin there are better shows in Vegas. O and KA and Mystere were my favorites. I love music but did not love .. Love. I think O would be a good start.

A good hotel find is a new boutique hotel called The Cromwell. It was so nice. Small and easy. Close to everything. Good prices. (qualifier.. for this type of hotel) On the second floor they have an amazing restaurant called Giada. It was killer.

Fun to also go downtown in the evening to see some different things

Have fun!

Really want to see O sometime.

Le Reve is great. It isn't Cirque de Soleil proper but is by the exact same guys. I think it gives a little more to the story the. The circus acts but still has amazing stuff going on. Nicer story (love story though-well inside of a dream. Le Reve is The Dream in French) and less freaky.

There was a time- when I was so broken hearted- oh wait uh, there was a time when I's have peed my pants and went nuts if they were in front of me. How cool. I still would got me some autographs and stuff though.

I have see most of the shows in Vegas. You can not go wrong with KA, Le Rev or O.


My daughter just saw the Michael Jackson show and said it was incredible. She is not even a Michael Jackson fan.


I was at the Bellagio last week and have always like the location and the hotel.

Again. Any of them u can't go wrong with.

Jus check the dates to make sure the one u pick is not on the black day , which means - no show that day. [emoji202][emoji970]
