Guide to Vegas Shows
Jubilee!
Hotel: Bally’s
Reservations: (866) 80-SHOWS
Price: $72.50 & Up
Age: 18 & Above
The showgirl is synonymous with Las Vegas and there’s no show in town that
glorifies showgirls quite like Jubilee! In between the huge productions, Jubilee!
is filled with singing, dancing and some entertaining specialty acts as well. Among
the rotating cast of performers are the Long Twins — two acrobats/contortionists
who leave you wondering how it’s humanly possible to bend and balance the way
they do. Aerialists Stoyan & Dmitri dazzle audiences with their high-flying act
and Los Huincas Argentinean Gauchos amaze the audience with their fast-paced drumming
and boleadoras twirling.
KA
Hotel: MGM Grand
Reservation: (866) 80-SHOWS
Price: $116 & Up
Age: 5 & Up
KÀ tells a thrilling adventure story about Imperial Twins who are separated
by an attack on their Far Eastern palace and overcome adversity to be reunited.
This Cirque du Soleil show has a clear plot, making it easy for people to sympathize
with the characters and follow along as the story unfolds. One of the most mystifying
elements in the show is the ever-evolving stage that transforms into a floating
barge, a beach, a snowy mountain and a violent sea in the midst of a storm, among
other varied landscapes.
Le Reve
Hotel: Wynn Theatre
Reservation: (866) 80-SHOWS
Price: 108 & Up
Age: 5 & Up
Leave reality behind and experience the fantastical world of Le Rêve, created
by Franco Dragone, at Wynn. French for the dream, Le Rêve, depicts a colorful
world of beautiful and mystifying characters. Not only does the in-the-round theater
put guests at a unique vantage point, but it also makes them feel like they are
part of the show as there is no clear line between the audience and the stage.
Gymnasts, aerialists and synchronized swimmers appear from every angle at times
ascending from the water, descending from the high arched ceiling or running through
the theater and alongside the audience. If you are seated by an aisle, you never
know when you are going to look to your side and see a masked face or other curious
character staring right back at you.
Love
Hotel: Mirage
Reservation: (866) 80-SHOWS
Price: $150.50 & Up
Age: 5 & Up
If you’re looking for a show that’s a fusion of acrobatics, dance and
visual effects, accompanied by a classic rock ‘n’ roll soundtrack,
then all you need is LOVE. LOVE is not a typical Cirque du Soleil show with high-flying
trapeze artists, gymnasts and acrobats. Although there is some of that in the show,
it is mainly a theatrical and dance-oriented show. The creators also wanted to
bring a bit of the youth of today into the show, showcasing extreme sports, break
dancing and street dancing.
Penn & Teller
Hotel: Rio Hotel & Casino
Reservations: (866) 80-SHOWS
Price: $84.85 & Up
Age: 5 & Up
Penn & Teller’s edgy show is unlike any other magic production in Las
Vegas. The tall, lanky Penn serves as a narrator, providing a running comedic commentary
on just about everything they do, while the diminutive Teller provides a lot of
the show’s action, all without saying a single word. The pair manages to
reveal a few tricks of their trade along the way, while turning around and completely
stumping you with others.
O
Hotel: Bellagio
Reservation: (888) 488-7111
Price: $93.50 and up
Age: 5 & Up
Cirque du Soleil weaves an aquatic tapestry of artistry, surrealism, and theatrical
romance in the timeless production, “O.” The international cast of
world-class acrobats, synchronized swimmers, divers, and characters performs in,
on, and above water to create a breathtaking spectacle in a splendid theater reminiscent
of a European opera house.
