We went to Zumanity, it was in a super small theater so you can buy cheap tickets and you would still have a good seat. I didnt think it was the best production, I've seen a couple of cirque shows in NYC.
I heard amazing things about Love and KA

I voted Love because I love the Beatles and really want to see it!

is O still playing? I have heard that is the most amazing Cirque show and that it uses huge pools so it won't tour... I like Cirque in general but I don't remember the names of the ones I have seen!

Have you seen Mystere? That is my favorite, but of the ones you mentioned I'd choose Zumanity because I thought it was fun. I didn't really enjoy KA.

KA is amazing if you like cirque.
I heard Penn and Teller spend more time setting up tricks and explaining them than doing them, so you might want to be careful if you are thinking you are going just to see magic.
Blue man group is more family friendly, but still fun.

@OpinionsLikeKittens: I think O is one of the cirque shows you will only appreciate if you already like cirque. So much happens in the water, I don't think it will make someone who hasn't seen a regular snow a fan.

@lovehoneybee: that was my first instinct, but i wasn't sure if it would be weird to do the beatles tribute show AND love.

@Mrsjets: we are from MA, so we haven't seen any of them! i just put ones on here that i had heard people talking about and then looked at tickets. we're open to anything though!

@mrs. bird: Ehhhh, as far as I'm concerned you can never have too much Beatles

I voted love since its the only one ive seen, but it was great! The theater is smaller, and is set up in the round, so no bad seats. We literally bought the cheapest tickets possible, but I thought the view was still great. I dont think it would be weird with the tribute.

@lovehoneybee: it was great! I'm a huge Beatles fan. I agree - you can never have too much Beatles!

@MediaNaranja: did you buy your tickets are one of the discount ticket booths or order them online or buy them there? if you don't mind, how much did you spend on them? i don't know what a good deal would be, but i saw groupon has some for $99

@mrs. bird: Mystere is classic cirque IMO - it has a cute story and a ton of cool acts. Its the only one I've seen multiple times, I really love it
pomegranate / 3244 posts
@mrs. bird: that's about what we paid, iirc. We got them online before the trip and just picked them up at will call the day of the show. We were staying at the mirage so it was pretty painless.

@mrs. bird: I voted for Love. I have been to both Love and Ka and they are very good. Ka blew me away but Love is just so much fun!

I'm a fan of Love and Ka! Since you're already going to a Beatles tribute, maybe go see Ka instead?

We loved Mystere and hated Love but since you like Beatles perhaps you'd like it.

I voted Zumanity because you're already doing a Beatles tribute, and because it's the "adult" show of Cirque... so quality time with the hubs

KA was amazing! We saw both Ka (with far back seats) and O (3rd row seats) on the same trip... and I loved Ka so much! Even with the crappy seats, I enjoyed everything, the music, acrobatics, effects, and the storyline, and would love to see it again.
grapefruit / 4817 posts
I vote Mystere or O. I didn't love KA. Love is still on my list.

I've seen Love, Mystere, O and KA and that's the order I'd recommend them in. They're all pretty good though! I also enjoyed Blue Man Group but I saw it in NYC a really long time ago. I'm not sure if the Vegas show is different.
pomegranate / 3401 posts
@mrs. bird: I personally did not like KA, but loved O and Mystere! Also, we bought our tickets at a booth outside of the Fashion Show Mall for cheap!!! Go right when they open
bananas / 9118 posts
Definitely Love! I'd go a million times over, I was so happy and excited coming out of it! We went to O another time, I may have fallen asleep
We love The Beatles, so we'd probably do both too!

I lved ka and mystere. Heard great things about love! Hated zumanity

I've been to Love, Mystere and Blue Man Group from your list. Mystere was my favorite-classic cirque with great acrobatics. Love was mostly dancing so if you want a true cirque show thats not the one to go to. It wasn't my favorite but we got free tickets with our hotel booking on our last trip. I also really liked BMG!
I recommend always buying tickets at the half price booths unless there is a certain show that you MUST see on a certain night. Anytime we've gone we have 4 or 5 shows we'd like to see and can usually get tickets to any of them. Or sign up for an MLife card at one of the casinos cuz it gets you discounts on tickets if you buy from the box office.

My husband was skeptical, but we both LOVED Mystere... halfway through he nudged me and said, "Wow, good call." Do it!
Hope you have a great trip!
(We did buy our Mystere tickets at the half price booth... we still spent a decent amount, but we got great seats and it was cheaper than buying online... we were on the left side near the stage and it was an awesome place to sit with some of the acts wizzing overhead).

I REALLY want to see Beatles LOVE!!!! But I voted Blue Man bc that's the only show I went to and loved it.

Love changed my life.no joke ive seen it twice ans it is amazing. I've also seen zumanity and it's great but nothing compared to love. I will see that every time I'm in Vegas.

I haven't seen them all but I saw ka recently and it was good!

I would suggest Mystere if you have never seen a Cirque show since itt has more of the classic acrobatics. We saw Zumanity when I was in Vegas for a bachelorette party and it was not nearly as impressive to me as their other shows. Have fun!
