If you need proof that "Mystere" is one of the shows to see in Las Vegas, then consider that we bumped into none other than former president Clinton on his way out of the theatre. And I'm sure he has no problem getting tickets to whatever shows he wants to see.
To describe any Cirque du Soliel production as a modern circus is not really accurate, and if you are interested in circus acts your time is probably better spent at the tacky Circus Circus. But if you are interested in a mesmerizing show that transports you somewhere beautiful for 90 minutes, "Mystere" is for you. There is minimal narration as the beautiful live music and the amazing artistry of the dancers and acrobats takes center stage. A loose storyline runs through the diverse series of performances, each one more amazing than the last, as they dance across the stage, soar through the air, and even swing from the rafters high overhead. Don't worry about sitting far back from the stage, that just means that you will be closer to the aerial acts.
In my opinion, "Mystere" is one of the shows that you really should not miss while in Las Vegas, and Mr. Clinton agrees. If you want a taste of the show, visit link for video and audio clips and pictures, althought they will not do justice to the immersive experience of seeing the show live. One final word of advice: if you love "Mystere", do NOT be tricked into seeing Cirque du Soliel's other Las Vegas show, "O" at the Bellagio, which is grossly inferior to "Mystere" at a much higher price. If you want more Cirque du Soliel, visit their website and see when their traveling production "Dralion" is coming to your town instead.
Shows are 7:30 and 10:30pm, no shows on Monday or Tuesday. You can get tickets ($80) at link or 800-392-1999
