Out of the 3 I could only recommend Ka, the other two are so so.

Interesting - Mystere was both my favourite and my wifes favourite cirque that we have seen.

Have you seen O? That has to be the best CdS.
Thanks,

Mystere was the first show we saw in Las Vegas and we still have very fond memories of the spectacle.

I must check out Mystere then. I always thought O was the best CdS I'd seen. La Nouba i didnt like so much because of the clowns [:)]
Thanks,
Sarah

Mystre was the first CdS I saw. It is not as spectacular as the shows that came later (as in stage set up, effects etc), but is very intimate, the acts stand out by themselves.

Not quite that bad, but I dont like clowns. I think it stems from being bought a 6 foot one as a child and having to sleep with the horrid thing in my bedroom.
La Nouba has a pair of clowns that do a variety of sketches but also some crowd interaction - so dont sit on the aisles if you dont like that kind of thing [:)]
Thanks,
Sarah

Seen La Nouba twice (still can't get over the trampoline finale), Alegria (first one we saw), and Quidam.
Maybe I am a miserable old B...., but the clowns have always left me cold. Should scrap them and put some decent acts on. They just aren't funny IMHO.
I don't think I am alone in this though having spoken to others (maybe they are miserable B's as well !)

Totally agree spiceke. The Diabalo girls are my favourite, and yes, the trampolining part in La Nouba where they are running up the sides of the walls. Fantastic.
Thanks,
Sarah

Although its not on the list, I enjoyed Love - less of the clowns in that one & a superb sound system in the theatre.

I agree, seen it twice the second time last week and it really is a visual audio triumph. Of course you probably need to know/like the Beatles to really enjoy it but ultimately I've never seen so many different things going on at the same time or the numbers of mechanical stage changes that happen in front of your eyes. Well worth the money in my opinion.

I am happy to be able to see any of the CDS shows; the talent is truly amazing. I enjoyed both O and Mystere. Still waiting to see Love.

Seen all the CdS shows in LV. Love them ALL, and can't wait for Criss Angel BeLIEve.
Also....I know, it's not really a CdS show, but La Reve is amazing, and staged by ex-CdS mastermind Dragone, who also did O and Celine's show..... La Rve is wonderful. It's The Tempest on steroids, in the round, in water. Well worth the trek to The Wynn.
