M.H.
Although we saw it a really long time ago, we LOVED "O". Very different from Mystere. I agree the Folies Bergere was really fun too. A very classic showgirl kind of show with Bob Mackie costumes and pretty cool sets too.
Hubby and I are going to Vegas in a couple weeks. What are your favorite Vegas Shows? We've already seen Mystere and Zumanity. Thanks!!

Ka. I have seen nearly every Cirque show more than once and I would go see Ka again in a heartbeat. Also, is Celine back yet? I have heard good things about her show from people who are in the (entertainment) biz and who live in Vegas, so I would call that a good recommendation.
Most people will tell you to go see "O". I don't recommend it. It is not the same as it was years ago. People I know who have seen both (me included) prefer Ka.
we loved The Tournament of Kings at Excalibur. My MIL bought us tickets as a wedding gift when we got married down there and we really enjoyed it. It was dinner and a show.
Another vote for Love - best show ever!
I really enjoy Blue Man Group. But it was the exact same show I had seen in Chicago, so I'm guessing it's the same all over the country. No need to go in Vegas if you've already seen it (unless you want to!) We also saw "O" on the same trip (in 2003, I think) and thought it was...good. Pretty interesting. More than one "wow" moment. However, I had already seen a couple different Cirque du Soleil shows in significantly smaller venues ("Quidam" and "Alegria"--neither in Vegas) and thought those were much more compelling, interesting, and fun than seeing "O" in the absolutely huge theater.
EDIT: If you go to Blue Man Group, wear something that's (at least) somewhat comfortable. This is not the time for a ultra-tight dress or really tight top.
Zumanity was awesome, I would go see it again! All the Cirque shows are supposed to be good--I have heard lots of great stuff about "O" and "Ka". Besides Cirque my hubby and I also went to see Le Femme at the MGM, its a cabaret show and I really liked it. We also went to the topless Folies Bergere at the Tropicana, but I think it may have ended. It was a really old show, but fun to see because it was that old Vegas showgirl act with the giant feather head dresses. We got a kick out of it. We went to see a Titanic exhibit that was in town too that we liked. We always do the conservatory at the Bellagio. You can go outside the coco-cola building at certain times and pick up half-price tickets to some shows, not the cirque shows but other stuff. Have fun!
Just got back on Christmas Eve from a girls week in Vegas. We decided to go to a different, smaller show called Vegas at Planet Hollywood very small stage but it had all the old school Vegas through the years; Rat pack, showgirls, sonny and Cher, Elton John.... very good! A little something different!
If you like the Beatles - I loved LOVE!
The Elvis show paled in comparison, but was entertaining....a little long.
We LOVED BLue Man Group. It was the first and only time we've seen it.
We had these really cool seats on the front row and we had to wear special ponchos to protect clothing from the spills. Daughter LOVED it... she was 12 at the time.
