Cirque du Soleil's LOVE Las Vegas

Features:

Cirque du Soleil's LOVE Las Vegas is the ultimate tribute to our favorite shaggy-haired rock band, the Beatles. The artsy Cirque interpretations of classic Beatles songs keep us awed and entertained, despite the hole in our pockets where our paycheck used to sit.

What To Know:

It's almost impossible to stay cynical when faced with the bright colors, astonishing aerial tricks and amazing surround sound pumping all of the best rock 'n' roll songs ever created. This show does not have a lucid story line though so if you want a more linear experience buy the "All Together Now" documentary about the making of The Beatles LOVE Cirque du Soleil - it's a nerd's dream come true.

• The Music: Okay, okay we've all heard that the Beatles are the best band the planet has ever seen - no need to drill it in. But seriously, the covers of the Beatles songs in Cirque du Soleil's LOVE Las Vegas not only capture the essence of the originals, but also make audiences rediscover why the Beatles got so famous in the first place.
• Surround Sound: The Beatles LOVE Cirque du Soleil has its own special theater with 6,342 speakers in total including three in each of the 2,013 seats. LOVE Theater at the Mirage is a theater in the round so you could potentially go multiple times and never have the same view - if you had the dough for that many tickets, of course.
• The Concept: It's Cirque du Soleil so you really can't expect a plot, but LOVE Cirque du Soleil Las Vegas does show some biographical events in the Beatles' career. What we love is that interspersed in the show are those crazy characters from the song! See Lucy from Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and even Eleanor Rigby (whose name obviously has yet to be buried).

Inside Knowledge:

Getting to Cirque du Soleil's LOVE Las Vegas on time is crucial, and getting there early is a plus. Before the show starts cast members are out and about in full costume outside the theater for a fun meet and greet. Arrive late and the ushers won't let you into the show until there's a good stopping point and knowing Cirque du Soleil, that could take a while.
