Pros: Contortionists, and Fire handlers
Cons: Clowns, and the Venue
Summary: There are two parts to this review--the show, and the venue.The Show: Alegria is a traveling show, so the set, lighting, and sound has limitations. The performers did very well for the most part, however humans are not perfect, ... read more

Pros: Amazing show for adults and the performers are talented beyond belief!
Cons: Expensive
Summary: I am definately NOT a circus lover and was hesitant about spending the money (and it is expensive-a minimum of $100. a person with ticket and a light snack at the show). However, my adult sister requested this as her 40th birthday present so how ... read more

Pros: It's an eye-popping, awe-inspiring show.
Cons: It's also a wallet-shrinking show.
Summary: Contrary to popular belief, Vegas is not that cheap these days. Quality entertainment, in particular, often comes with a hefty price tag. For this reason, the Chelledun family picked just one show on our recent Vegas trip. The consensus was the ... read more

Pros: The singing, visuals and 4 acrobatic acts were impressive.

Summary: My son, mother and I went to see our first Cirque du Soleil (Delirium) show this past Saturday (June 23, 2007) in Washington, DC. I have seen a Cirque du Soleil show on cable that was awesome. The show I saw on cable had plenty of acrobatics and tricks. ... read more

Pros: the amazing artistry and impressive performances bring the Beatles' music to life like never before
Cons: a few hokey numbers and a loose thematic sense.
Summary: Traveling to modern-day Las Vegas is like stepping into another dimension. The basic rules that govern day-to-day life outside of the city simply don't apply. It starts even before your plane lands - the way that the vast, grey-brown desert you've ... read more

Pros: EVERYTHING
Cons: LITERALLY NOTHING

Pros: Some good music.
Cons: The acrobatics and quirky humor that's been a trademark of Cirque was mostly missing.
Summary: I saw Cirque de Soleil's new show Delirium tonight at the Bobcat arena in Charlotte. It was terrible! While the plot obviously follows the dreams (or nightmares) of a man who appears torn between worlds, I felt trapped inside the hallucinations of a mad ... read more

Summary: The show & theater: O at the Bellagio in Las Vegas is the best show I've ever seen of any kind, and I've been to concerts, plays, and shows all over the globe (Paris, London, New York, Vegas, Rome, etc). The show is one that cannot be missed. If you ... read more

Pros: Several very hot acts
Cons: Tries way too hard, slapstick portions were ridiculous, falls short
Summary: Zumanity is one of Cirque du Soleil’s resident shows in Las Vegas, and it’s first attempt at an erotic show. (Or I should say sex-themed, since some of Cirque’s acrobatics can be erotic anyway.) Zumanity is in residence at the New York New ... read more

Pros: incredibly entertaining, best show in Vegas
Cons: expensive, often sold out
Summary: This was my first (and only) Cirque show. As many people will say, if you only see one show (or one Cirque show, since there are presently 4 of them), see O. I agree. From what I've seen/heard about the others, this is one that will please the majority ... read more

Pros: Some individual acts are incredible.
Cons: Too expensive, was looking at my watch just after the second half started.

Pros: There's a DVD, screen it without wasting too much money
Cons: What a Grande ripoff

Cons: what was the tattooed freak supposed to be ?
Summary: I have see La Nouba (fantastic ! ) O and Mystere. Do NOT spend your money on Delirium, it is a rip off and a joke. There was no "cirque" in the Soleil. It was like a high school song and dance show. We spent over $650 for 5 tickets and I don't know
