Pros: Excellent shows on the strip
Cons: Some are quite pricey, some have 'manual' seating which is VERY slow
The Bottom Line: The 3 shows were the best shows we've ever seen and would highly recommend them. Try to avoid shows that have 'manual' seating since its VERY slow.

| galant95s's Full Review: The Strip |
We have seen the following 8 shows on the Strip:
1. Blue Man Group (Luxor) $80-90
This was truly an amazing audio visual experience.
We even bought the CD after the show for $20.
Great fun for all ages.
BEST show we ever saw!
2. Danny Gans (Mirage) $70-80
Extremely funny and talented impersonator and singer.
Most importantly it was on during xmas weekend!
Excellent sound system.
3. Forever Plaid (Flamingo) $25-35
Very funny and enjoyable for adults (lot of references to 50's & 60's music).
Cheapest show we ever saw!
The seating is done manually and takes very long (about 15-25 min at LEAST).
Be prepared for a long wait in line.
Always ask for the booth seating at the back for the most comfortable seats and best angles.
Be prepared to tip $1-2 at least to get the good seats.
Rocketts (Flamingo) $50-60
The dinner is poor quality so avoid the food option and opt for the upgraded seats in the booths which are a lot more comfortable.
Caesar's Magical Empire (Palace) $65-75
Good food, good humor, good magic.
Great for all ages.
King Arthur's (Excalibur) $40-50
Bad food (bland - big hunks of meat, bread, veggies).
Decent show (lots of horses kicking up dust near the front row).
Legends in Concert (?) $35-45
Poor buffet - avoid it and upgrade the seats to a booth.
The regular seats are uncomfortable and at bad angles to the stage and crammed together (like Flamingo).
Long wait to be seated manually.
This was one of the few playing during xmas weekend.
Mystere (Bellagio) $85-95
Good show but too expensive.
Good for all ages.
The best show overall was Blue Man Group.
The best value for money & cheapest show was Forever Plaid.
The best dinner show was Caesar's Magical Empire.
The worst show overall was Legends.
The worst value for money was Mystere.
The worst dinner shows were King Arthur's and Legends.
The worst seats were at the Rocketts and Legends (a tie!).
The best seats were at Caesar's Magical Empire (also small groups of 10-20 people at a time).
