The only one I've seen is Ka, and I didn't like it at all.

I always try to buy my tickets AT LEAST a month in advance to get as good a seats as possible, for the amount I'm willing to pay. I really don't want to pay more than $75/person, but I see form these Vegas shows, the Cirques are about $175/person. Oh well! I guess since it's Christmas & I'm on vacation, I'll splurge!

I've seen a few Cirque shows, but I plan to go to Vegas this Christmas & see my 1st one there. I think I may see Ka or Mystere, maybe O.

Quidam - Not in Vegs, but if you never see it, you're not missing anything

Dralion - Just saw last week & I liked it, but I'm sure it's not as magnificent as the more grand ones

Cirque Voila - I don't know if that's considered a Cirque du Soleil show...it's not on the official website, but it's very amateurish & you're DEFINITELY NOT missing anything

Don't even remember the other ones I saw. They seemed to be on a smaller scale & are not listed on the official Cirque du Soeile website.

The last time I saw O I purchased the tickets 3 months in advance.

Had my pick of seats. Bought front row, center stage. During intro 2 clowns run around "clowning".
I was one of two that was picked to go up on stage and dance a waltz with one of them.
WAS GREAT EXPERIENCE!!
During the show the "water people" would splash us. It was great fun.
Next time I will bring a squirt gun and "splash" back.....

mystere or o are typically the favorites (as others have already alluded to).

i have seen mystere, o, ka, zumanity, and love. i would see mystere or o again without hesitation.
i doubt i will ever see believe (criss angel).

My sister LOVED LOVE, much better than the Elvis show. She also enjoyed Mystere.

The Elvis show didn't make it. I think this is the last month for it.

There will be a Michael Jackson Cirque show coming at the Mandalay Bay. I guess when you die, you get a Cirque show!

the elvis one (viva la elvis) no longer exists. it has been replaced by zarkana, which apparently did well in japan.

Agree with all of the above, but also want to throw in "Le Reve" at the Wynn. It's not a Cirque production, but it is very similar and an amazing show of the same caliber... similar to "O". Nice stunts, artistry... and kind of sexy. Rawr!

Also, I can't speak highly enough of "Absinthe" in front of Caesars. It's definitely for adults who don't mind a little salty language, but it's hilarious and has something unique that you'll never find anywhere else in Las Vegas. Very well done.

I've seen LOVE, KA, Viva Elvis & O & La Reve. By far my favorite was LOVE. It has the added benefit of music you've heard before-& you don't have to love The Beatles to enjoy LOVE. Another benefit is there's not a bad seat in the house. Buy the cheapest tickets & your seats will be great.
KA-a little spacey for your first Cirque, but very good. O-very good. Elvis was entertaining but nowhere near LOVE. La Reve-good.

^this is what I have heard from people I know. I have not been to one yet. I recently saw an ad for two tickets for $99. They might be cruddy seats? It might just be a locals special too.
