Best Vegas Cirque du Soleil Shows 2022 | One, Mystère, Love, O, KÀ, Mad Apple

[@THIRTYSIXBLACK]

I'd like to see a Prince Cirque show. Such great music.

[@CVDL]

A Prince show would be great! Years ago there was also an Elvis show, but I never had the opportunity to see it!

[@magnoliaprototype17]

Thank you so much for the amazing review. This really helps going to Vegas in two weeks. I have it narrowed down to my final two….and I was right.! Thank you.

[@CVDL]

Glad it was helpful!

[@joethompson5557]

Nice video Corey. Big fan of these shows too. I've only seen Mystere and Ka but they were both amazing. I'm a big Beatles fan so I think Love will be next!

[@CVDL]

Thanks Joe! They're honestly all so good. I was very lucky to be able to see all 6 while I was there in Vegas and it was pretty difficult to rank them. But I make time to see Love every single time I'm in Vegas!

[@DUNGSTA]

Love was one of the worst shows to me. I guess when they started adding more elements to the show it might of changed things. But I just remember there were no acrobatics and just people running around dancing...

[@electrictroy2010]

@DUNGSTA beatles by cirque definitely has acrobatics. I saw one of the guys fall from a great height & sprain an ankle, so definitely Not just dancing

[@snotloutisagod2956]

This video was pretty informative and helpful in deciding which show to go to during my Vegas trip in April 2023. All of them look good, especially MJ ONE, Love, Ka, and O, although I have not yet been to any of those shows during the times I've stayed in Vegas. Now it's going to be a tough choice for me.

[@CVDL]

Glad it was helpful! Let me know what you end up deciding to see! I don't think you'll be disappointed no matter what you attend!

[@supitschillbro]

the opening is so dramatic, very fun

[@CVDL]

Haha thank you!

[@Phantasma98]

I have seen Ka and One on this list and honestly I would rank one before Ka both phenomenal shows. You gave me hope for Mad Apple, the general reviews turned me off. I’m willing to give it more of a chance now.

[@CVDL]

Ranking is so hard... there are definitely aspects of both that I really like! When I first saw Ka, it was around the time One had opened and I preferred One to Ka myself. Seeing them again, I preferred Ka more than One... but both still great shows as you said!

[@wendyvanderlaan6811]

Love is my top pick too. I cannot wait to see it again before the show closes in July 2024. Thanks for sharing your reviews.

[@chelseafn104]

Mystere, KA, Love, O, One and Mad Apple

[@profiley7162]

Right niw Ive only seen 1 show and that was Mystere at Treasure Island and I loved it so much. On July 4th Im gonna see LOVE at the Mirage and it might top it but i will have to wait to see

[@CVDL]

I hope you enjoy! I’m seeing LOVE for the last time myself on June 29!

[@darioshame]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@NeoNoirStyle]

Thx for the ranking! Next march i‘m in Vegas and I want to visit O 😊

[@CVDL]

You're welcome! I hope you enjoy the show!

[@deejayrealtalk]

I agree but since your a beetles fan go for it. MJ is better thats just because I grew up to the king of pop music. So It's pretty much your liking, but I would MJ and Love 2nd place and Ka number one.

[@sandrablamires2799]

Michael Jackson One premiered in 2013

[@AnnLippert1]

i think LOVE opened in 2006 (not 2004) but i agree, LOVE is my favorite as well ....and i also have seen EVERY Cirque show in Vegas.

[@jonathanlyons3491]

I've 4 of these shows, and I would rank Love much lower. Great music and dance, but low on daredevilry, and hardly any clowning. I would put Ka, and Mystere above Love.

[@terrymckone9616]

I totally agree with your number one choice, Love by the Beatles is incredible, we go to Las Vegas every October and we never miss seeing it when we go, we sit in the front row and we are as equally blown away by the show every time we see it. My last choice however would be Ka. I was amazed by the stage, but I can’t get past the fact that a woman fell to her death from the top of it during one of the performances

[@CVDL]

The first time I saw Ka (back in 2012) I went away thinking it was "ok"... it's definitely a show I appreciated much more on second viewing (perhaps because I had different expectations the second time around). The accident happened after I first saw the show and I was definitely thinking about it when I saw the show a second time. :( So tragic.

[@electrictroy2010]

Michael Jackson has an actual story unfolding. So does KA (plus two massive moving stages). I’d rate both those better than the Beatles (which is still better than the other boring cirque shows).

[@gtcrypto0554]

As far as KA... sad for sure that such a tragedy happened but its irrelevant to the quality of the show itself.

[@hopeblamires3017]

Love premiered in 2006 not 2004

[@CVDL]

Good catch!

[@sandrablamires2799]

Make sure you get the year right next time

[@zoephoto42]

Very helpful review, thanks! I agree love is special.

[@fabidemira]

Interesting! I just saw a video that ranks the worst shows in Vegas and they said Ka and Love are in the list. According to the video, these shows have so many bad reviews… I am going to Vegas in 2 weeks and I will definitely see Mystere….

[@AntLong110]

Awesome review! Seeing Love for the first time before it sunsets. RIP Mirage!

[@CVDL]

Thank you! I feel like if they announce it's going to leave the Mirage/Hard Rock at the end of 2023, I may just have to go back and watch it one last time!

[@rohnbosley4811]

Hard Rock has announced LOVE will be coming back when the Mirage turns into Hard Rock 😁

[@johnconnery1939]

We loved ABSYNTH AT CEASARS. GREAT FUN The

[@CVDL]

Absinthe is a fun show! I saw it about 12 years ago so I don’t remember too much about it, but I do remember having a good time!

[@TomJones-wi4nh]

Mystere is a solid pass for me. It’s a first-gen cirque show and it definitely shows. The clowns slapstick wasn’t funny and the acrobatics were been-there-seen that. A hit for kids absolutely, but an adults, not so much. O otoh was absolutely amazing. Loved the slower elements - especially the clown segments. The show is very expensive, but a once in a lifetime experience if you can fit it into your budget.

[@williamq9092]

If we are going with 2 kiddos, which one would you recommend the love or the mystere?

[@CVDL]

I think Mystere is the better show for families (and there will be many more kids in the audience for Mystere than there will be for Love)!

[@kzrsosa]

There was a accident at ka

[@claytonberg721]

I would have put love and zumanity 1 and 2. I'm sad zumanity was canceled because I thought it was a very solid show, extremely funny. Maybe I'm weird but Ka didn't move me much, maybe because I was in bad seats. Mad Apple I just saw a few days ago, went in wanting to hate it almost because it replaced zumanity but I really liked it.

[@CVDL]

I have similar feelings about Zumanity! I didn't expect to like it when I saw it and loved it... and then had low expectations for Mad Apple but it was fantastic. I liked Ka a lot better the second time I saw it then the first time. I actually thought Ka might rank last on my list going in, but I really enjoyed it this time around.

[@electrictroy2010]

Mad Apple looks like street performers that I can see any day in vegas (often free). Not impressed. Also repetitive with the wheel of death which I’ve seen in Ka and Mystere many times (and much better orchestration/ story)

[@ferenchorvath7819]

Amatőr.

[@rodrigoestrada8347]

thanks so much for the opinions Corey! I will visit Vegas next Fal, and have decided to go for Love and Ka! will post my thoughts when I have seen both!

[@jssd_1260]

You'll love KA. I've seen my share of cirque du soleil shows and there's nothing like it. At least in Vegas. It's simply breathtaking from start to finish.

[@CVDL]

Have fun! Every one of the shows in Vegas are incredible and you won't be disappointed no matter which shows you take in! Can't wait to hear what you think!

[@danielrubin353]

Just got back from O what a show

[@strawberryrhubarbpie]

I just watched a youtube video titled '5 worst shows in las vegas' and Ka was listed so it's interesting that you rated it so highly. I've seen Mystere and loved it.

[@CVDL]

The first time I saw Ka (back in 2012) I didn't enjoy it as much as I did the second time I saw it. I think seeing all the shows so close together over the course of several days, I was able to appreciate some of the unique things the show did (such as have a story and the stage itself) that helped set it apart for me. But I would definitely encourage you to read/watch as many reviews and opinions as possible before deciding which ones to check out!

[@ДеянаЙорданова-й7ц]

​@@CVDL❤

[@JesusFraire]

yea Ka is the top two show in vegas. that list you saw was a misstep. this list is solid. i would actually switch KA to #1 and Love to #2

[@marissar4262]

Curious if you know anything about the stageside seats for Mad Apple? The stageside seats are a great price but I wasn't sure if you miss any of the action being so close? I'm heading to Vegas in January and thinking about hitting both Mad Apple and Love. I saw Mystere a few years ago and absolutely loved it! Great video, thanks for sharing your thoughts (:

[@CVDL]

I think it would be a neat atmosphere because you're much closer to some of the action, but they ARE behind the main performers (especially the comedians would be much further out on the stage interacting with the audience). Hopefully someone who has sat in those seats can comment about what their experience was! Either way, I think you'll enjoy the show a TON. I want to go back an see it again! And thank you!

[@marissar4262]

@@CVDL Thanks so much for your response, it's so helpful!

[@julias2855]

Did u do it? Thoughts?

[@laxmantc77]

Would absolutely recommend trying to get seats closest to the front row of the upper deck, perfect view of the entire stage as well as perfect views of the aerial performances.

[@ynadle1111]

amazing review and video quality! thank you for sharing your ranking!

[@CVDL]

Thanks for watching!

[@logicalmisery3737]

Have you been to Awakening at the Wynn? If so, where on this list would you put it?

[@CVDL]

I haven't yet! It opened a few months after I filmed this and then re-opened again just a couple of weeks ago, so it's definitely on my "must-watch" list for the next time I'm in Vegas (hopefully soon!)

[@eliangaelgagui1202]

Okay

[@crocodile1313]

Great feedback on these shows, but man please kill your background music! I had to turn on the captions just to see what you were saying at times. I saw Mystere back in the late '90s and it was fantastic. Saw Love the year it opened and liked it, but I'm not the world's biggest Beatles fan, so that probably reduced my enjoyment of that show a bit. Going to check out One this trip because I grew up listening to Michael Jackson and look forward to the music and dancing.

[@CVDL]

Thanks for the feedback! I actually agree with you - surprised no one else has pointed out the music is a bit too loud on the video but I edited with headphones and didn't notice the separation wasn't that great until I watched it after I uploaded it.

[@pete69696]

I appreciate your video but I have to disagree with you lol. Ive seen all the shows in vegas ive seen O 12 times. From 1990 until 2223 and IMO O is definitely the best Circ resident show. Beatles is boring imo. Sorry just my opinion Algeria is the best traveling show imo.

[@CVDL]

Algeria is fantastic! And I definitely get that the rankings are totally subjective and based on personal context as well (Love being my first show plays big into that). O is still incredibly theatrical and I still find myself trying to go every time I'm back in Vegas myself!

[@noblewick]

Now, did you see the Michael Jackson immortal world tour by Cirque du Soleil and what were your thoughts on that show? I'm a little on the fence to see ONE because I feel it would be just a repeat of the touring show. But, like yourself, I too try to see EVERY cirque show that I can and will probably end up one day seeing "ONE"

[@CVDL]

I didn't get a chance to see the Immortal World Tour! I believe they were pretty different but trying to find comparisons online haven't been super helpful. If you do find yourself in Vegas - and you enjoyed Immortal World Tour - I think you'd love One!

It's a great question! I was able to see LOVE during the final week one last time and it was bitter sweet to say goodbye!

[@acethetics3878]

I’ve seen Ka, O, and Mystere so far, and seeing Love very soon! I’m curious to know, how would you rank all of the cirque shows you’ve seen including the traveling ones?

[@blackhats9743]

Which is better Ka or O

[@Generallyannoyed2024]

O by far

[@deejayrealtalk]

@@Generallyannoyed2024 respect your opinion, but I liked Ka. O I felt like they just splashed like a baby playing with water just to create an effect. Ka on the other hand, that was a incredible stage production. Then again I recommend every one to watch them all, but walk in their with a positive vibes not one that lost their money on a penny slot machine.

Not knowing the Beatles shouldn’t be an issue and you may fall in love with their songs if you do! However if you didn’t LIKE the Beatles then I would definitely recommend you check out another one of the Cirque shows!

[@williamblackledge1406]

Thanks for the thoughts, as you said everyone has their own preferences, we saw Mystere first and then Love on our next trip and my wife and I loved them both but thought Mystere was better. Looking forward to our next trip trying to decide between O and Ka. Maybe both who knows 🤷 👍

I vote for both! Lol

​@@WilliamsPinchwe saw O in April and just watched Ka a couple weeks ago, all the shows are great, still like Mystere the best followed by Ka and O a close one for 2nd. We also saw Blue Man Group and myself as a drummer absolutely loved it. Can't really go wrong with any of them.

Was looking at booking seats for Love. Appears seats encircle the stage. Does it matter what side of the stage you are on?

[@CVDL]

All of the seats are quite good! You get a different perspective of the stage depending on where you sit, but all of the action is designed to be visible from all angles. So no need to worry about where you're sitting!

[@duffman5773]

Does it matter where you sit with KA? My wife and I are going to Vegas the first time and that one seems to be the one I would like the most.

[@CVDL]

I think most people would recommend sitting in the middle of the front section of seats. I sat in the front row and I loved it though there was some action during the pre show that was occurring behind me that I had to turn around to watch. However I generally feel every time I see a show that my first thought is that nearly every seat would have been a good choice!

[@DUNGSTA]

Yes front row left side.

[@FiyahLiger]

I just left Vegas and saw Ka for the first time ever. I sat in Row H seats 15/16. My spouse and I loved it. I highly reccomend sitting around that area and get an aisle seat! The immersion will be amplified greatly.

[@bwong84]

Seen KA twice, I definitely would not recommend the first few rows. As Corey said, you miss a bit of the action on the sides and back. Also because the front stage is higher up, I found my neck was quite sore by the end of it. Good review, Corey! I've seen most of them, but I actually preferred O and Ka the best.

Love is definately not the best one to see. I've seen all of them and Love is the worst one out of all of them for me, its so boring compare to the others. I asked multiple people who seen Love as well and they said the same thing so these reviews are weird. This is why Love tickets go on sale all the time but you never seen O or One goes on sale. One or O has the best production and entertainment value and if you could only see one, i would pick either of these first.

[@k1e1v1i1n]

i agree for the most part but i would put "O" higher as you cant see anythign like that anywhere else.

Back when Le Rêve was the Wynn, I actually preferred Le Rêve to O (similar concept but much more intimate stage). However, there is a novelty to O that is hard to replicate anywhere else in the world!
