    Hand to Hand

    Mystere at Treasure Island is a circus unlike I have ever seen before. A mystical, primordial extravaganza celebrating the human condition. Overwhelming scenery, you never know where to look at any given time, because at any given time something extraordinary is occurring! Original music, costumes and talent beyond your wildest imagination saturates your senses and transport you for 2 hours to another universes where gravity is defied on a regular basis.

    My favorite is the "hand to hand" 2 brothers who stand atop a rotating dome, with a remarkable display of sheer strength and endurance go through gravity-defying body positions. Our seats were 2nd row center, I was so close I could see just 1 drop of sweat fall and the miniscule flicker of a bicep and no other signs of strain or effort were noted. Amazing!!!

    My other favorite was the red bird girl who tumbled using a row of trampolines. How can she possibly turn her back handsprings with such velocity?!! The clowns are hysterical and the audience is drawn into play as well. I so enjoyed this show that I would consider returning for another show. Cirque du Soliel has several shows in Las Vegas....Zumanity, O , Ka, and Mystere and the new show with George Martin of the Beatles fame who arranged this show about the Beatles called, "LOVE." All of the shows are well worth the price of admission.

    In September 2006 CatherineCG and I went to the Bellagio Hotel to see "O." This show is best viewed up in the balcony so you can see into the 1.5 million gallon tank of water that is part of the stage. High dives and trapeze acts leave you reeling with thoughts about the human body and its' capabilites! The staging of "O" must have been a huge undertaking!

    What can I say! This is an awesome show and you will totally be in awe of such a wonderful performance. It dazzled us. It is pricey, but well worth the money to see it. It has been honored eight times as "Best Production Show" by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. It is Directed by Franco Dragone. What amazed me, was the grace, talent, and pure strength these performers have. The costumes are so unique and elegant. If you come to Vegas, you must see a Cirque du Soleil show.

    Cirque du Soleil: The amazing story of KA

    KA Theatre, MGM Grand

    There are many, many ways for you to spend your money in Las Vegas but if you've got to pick only one thing, I'd recommend going to a show by the Cirque du Soleil. The little circus company that started out in Quebec in the 1980s is now famous all around the world, and back in the early 1990s, the Cirque found a home in Las Vegas. There are now five resident Cirque du Soleil shows in Las Vegas (Mystere, O, Zumanity, KA and Love), with a sixth one scheduled to open at the CityCenter Complex in 2009, featuring the songs of Elvis Presley.

    Since we only had time and money to see one show we picked KA, a $220 million production hosted at the MGM Grand. For this show, which became the Cirque's fourth resident show in Vegas, the Cirque du Soleil teamed up with another brilliant artist from Quebec when they asked Robert Lepage to create and direct it. It resulted in a beautiful and very moving story that once again pushed the Cirque's limits. It is the most theatrical of all Cirque shows, it's got an amazing soundtrack, and thanks to the custom-made theatre and floating stage platform, the show features stunts and acrobatics you didn't think were possible to see!

    Because it is a customed-made theatre, there are no bad seats in the house. Of course, the closer you are to the action, the more details you can see. We picked Category 2 tickets and were quite happy with our seats. If it happens to be a slow night (we were there on a Wednesday), you don't need reservations, you can buy your tickets when you get to Vegas (Prices range from $69 to $150, depending on the category).

    If you do one thing besides gamble while in Las Vegas, go see Cirque du Soleil's "O" at the Bellagio. Tickets are a bit on the pricey side, but it is worth every penny and then some. I have seen a few Cique shows and this is hands-down the best I have seen. Absolutely beautiful and performed in water, this is an experience you won't soon forget. I left the show emotionally drained, uplifted and touched and my eyes have never witnessed such a beautiful display of talent.

    It was magical.

    I would go back to Vegas...if only just to see this show again.

    Cirque de Soliel's Mystere at Treasure Island
    All I can say is, Wow! 'Mystère by Cirque du Soleil is a dynamic kaleidoscope of sights and sounds performed in a state of the art theatre. The international cast of 72 features dancers, singers, musicians, champion-caliber acrobats and a misguided clown' (http://www.treasureislandlasvegas.com/pages/frameset_noflash.asp)
    $80.00 per ticket but well worth it.

    Cirque du Soleil, Mystère at Treasure Island.
    What a tremendous treat! This is indeed one of the best shows in Vegas. The music is haunting, the set and costume design, phenomenal... yet they pale in comparison to the artistry of the acrobats artfully intertwined with the humour of the clowns.Audience participation is a large part of the show. Be prepared.And do sit up in the balcony as much of the action takes place way up high...

    'O' presentent by Cirque Du Soleil was the definite highlight of our vacation. It's like nothing you have seen before! For the best seating, get your tickets a few months in advance... this show is usually sold out.

    For more information, copy and paste...(below)

    Beyond circus, beyond theater, Cirque du Soleil has created an entirely original form of live entertainment. 'O' pays tribute to the magic of the theater - from the simplest street performance to the most lavish of operas - where anything is possible and where the drama of life plays itself out before our very eyes. Cirque du Soleil's first venture into aquatic theater has been seen by more than 2 million spectators and has earned the acclaim of journalists from around the world. The Chicago Tribune says, '…as spectacular and inventive a live as you're likely to find anywhere in the world right now…' while Las Vegas Review-Journal recently honored 'O' as the best production show for the second year in a row. With an international cast of 81 artists, performing in, on and above a 1.5 million gallon pool of water, 'O' by Cirque du Soleil tells the tale of theater through the ages and frees us to embark on a 90-minute voyage where dreams are not only encouraged, they come true.

    Tickets for 'O' are $110.00 and $90.00 (plus tax) and are currently on sale up to three months in advance.

    To reserve tickets call 888-488-7111 or 702-796-9999 or visit any of the local ticket offices located at Bellagio, Treasure Island or The Mirage.

    Two shows are held nightly Friday through Tuesday at 7:30pm and 10:30pm. There are no performances on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
