Cirque du Soleil – Mystère

Great show! Lots of stuff going on. The upper body strength of these performers is incredible and inspiring. Great actors.
I have to say there is a lot of stuff going on at the same time so it’s difficult to see everything that is going on. Hard to follow the story line, wait is there actually a story line?
They made the audience laugh (and gasp!) quite a bit.
I would recommend sitting at one of the higher levels so you can see everything going on. I feel like those sitting below missed out on a lot, like people flying over the audience.
I would absolutely return and recommend.

The first thing I did when I found out I would be heading to Vegas for a work conference was start researching Cirque du Soleil shows. I had originally decided that I would go see «O» because, hello, it sounds amazing. When I got to Vegas and saw the prices at the Half Price Ticket booth on the streets in Vegas, I decided that I would settle for seeing Mystere because we could get two tickets for a little more than one ticket would have been for «O».
I am so glad we made the switch and saw Mystere instead! The show had gorgeous costumes, was very colorful, and amazing. The woman who was selling the tickets said she had seen the show 8 times. After watching it once, I can totally understand why someone would go back! If you’re looking for a great Cirque show in Vegas, look no further than Mystere!

This is the original one among all the Cirque du Soleils. Very entertaining, colorful and a real Vegas show!!! The theater is very small, only 25 rows and we bought our tickets from half priced tickets boots, great seats :)

An incredible night!
There are many Cirque de Soleil shows to choose from in Las Vegas, and I chose this one based on it being the ‘original’ one.
I purchased my ticket on the day, but not from the box office, but a retailer who offered the tickets at a discounted price due to it being ‘day of’, so felt I got a great deal.
The performers were astounding. From start to finish I cannot think of a single moment when j wasn’t transfixed by the feats and stunts they performed.
There are so very many shows to choose from in Vegas, and I guess there is no right or wrong, but — for me — this was an incredible experience, and I would definitely advise you to check it out.
It lasts just under two hours, is not too loud, appropriate for all ages (though maybe not very small children?) and a wonderful treat!

This was a great show for the whole family. My kids ages 13 and 11 greatly enjoyed it, this was their first Cirque du Soleil show. It’s funny and impressive as you can expect, I only wish these shows were less expensive, it can add up if your bringing the whole family. I think it was a great choice for the kids!

Very much like other cirque shows, entertaining and fun but over priced,

Oh man, where to start?! This was my first Cirque show, and honestly, everything I expected! The effects, costume, characterizations, just all around talent involved in these shows is amazing, and the acrobatic scenes? Forget about it. I was a bit intoxicated as we watched the 9:30 Pm show but i was convinced that had nothing to do with my confusion. I mean their was story, but i could not figure out the story whatsoever! It def. has to do with my naiveness, I am so young and have experienced so little but this show, oh man spectacular! It will not bet my last Cirque, I am already interested now in the one at Dodger Stadium this year in LA!
There is no photography during the show, but come on, people are going to do it, as i did; but this guy behind us insisted on smacking my chair every time I pulled out my camera as if he were an employee or the police. Like come on man, that seriously just irritated me as much as he was in the right, people, mind your own business (there was no screen light either it was turned off so he was doing it to make a point (He had to have been staying at the PrimmaDonna) LOL. Sorry Thespians I will take more respect into account when viewing art ;)
Go see this show tho seriously! Not a bad seat in the house as well, actually the front row as EVERYONE has said may not actually be the best seats because their is a lot of round about interaction with the from audience as well as stuff going on near the ceiling so I would honestly say we personally had the beast seats in the house right smack dab in the middle of the theater in the middle row ;) Paying middle money haha. Now to that, tix were $ 80 a piece for those mid row seats but this was 2 months before hand. Driving into Vegas and all around their were advertisements for buying one ticket and getting another for only $ 50 so people def saved money but hey, I got my seats ahead of time and they were excellent so no complaints on my end. Hope my next cirque show is just as freakin awesome! ;D

Oh wow. Colorful. This was my first Cirque show and pretty much everything I imagined when Cirque du Soleil comes to mind. The acrobatics are incredible! The two bodybuilders balancing on each other were so graceful yet strong. They made my aunt giggle quite a bit. I was delighted the seats our AAA travel agent booked were high enough to enjoy watching the performers descend from the ceiling. The front sections must strain their necks. Lots of «death defying» acts in the show, including an acrobat moving her way around a metal bar prism above the ground.
Whimsical. Jest. Color. Adrenaline.
The giant snail at the end is kind of creepy though.
I’d say opt for this performance if you haven’t experienced Cirque. Discounted tickets available and they’re as low as $ 55!

I was able to score the dress rehearsal tickets for $ 35/​ea. The show is definitely open to all ages. There were a lot of children in the audience more so than other cirq shows. It was very comical! I would suggest getting seats in the center back so you can enjoy the show for it’s entirety instead of craning your head to look up when you’re too close to the stage.

I had no idea what to expect, I’ve heard such mixed reviews but we decided to go see Cirq anyway, when in Vegas right? It was fabulous. At first I was irritated that our tickets meant that I couldn’t have dinner at Jaleo and even contemplated ditching my Cirq tickets. Then I thought I’ll just go check it out and maybe I’ll leave early for tapas (I seriously dream about their cauliflower, but I digress…) I was completely engaged in the performance, from the first few minutes, I was hooked. I thought the baby bit would get irritating but I found myself laughing like a child, and genuinely loved the audience participation. Also I found the theater spacious and comfortable. My favorite part happened pretty early, I loved what they did with lights and movement, particularly the acrobat with the metal sculpture. My husband and I laughed later that we had no idea we could like Cirq so much. Our friends went to Penn and Teller but we were so glad we went to this instead! We will definitely check out other Cirq performances.

Excellent show! This was our second show and we loved it! It was both funny and entertaining! This was in 2013 and we still talk about how amazing it was :))

We had absolutely great seats in the second row. In fact I would argue they are better than the first row because they have bars in the way.
Even though we were badgered by a photographer at the start (he asked if my mom and I were dates when the whole family of 6 was there) the show kicks off about 15 minutes early with an actor in the crowd goofing around so get there early!
The show itself runs for about 1.5 hours no intermission. But you don’t need one as the action is non stop. I was amazed and laughing throughout. My dad was one of the lucky patrons who was involved in the crowd interaction part.
If you can get tickets go!

This is my 2^nd time visiting Mystere show. Ticket vouchers were purchased at discounted price from tickets4tonight booth for $ 71 per person. Then we went to Mystere box office to exchange our vouchers for actual ticketd. Surprised we got pretty good seats too. The performance and music were good. I just felt that they had reduce the number of acts and performers compared to the past. Show started at 9:30pm and ended before 11:15pm.

We got our tickets the day of at a half tix off place on the strip and then we went to the box office to choose our seats & get our tickets. Try to get seats further away instead of very close to the stage.
The acts were fabulous, and it was amazing to see how much the stage could be manipulated. The show was very interactive with the audience and there were elements of comedy to the show.

Bought the seats last minute and were able to get good seats. Try getting seats in the back so you can see the whole view.
The show was very entertaining. It was both funny and amazing.

Simply amazing. It’s like a variety show, not a story like some shows. It was amazing, totally awesome just like out of this world. They are world class performers better than Olympic performers. I was in awe the entire time. Loved it. Would Rec, would take visitors from out of town (I live here) and will go again.

I didn’t think I would like this show. But I really enjoyed it. Before the show got started I felt we had great seats. But as the show started I changed my mind it’s better to sit in the back or up top where the less expensive seats are we sat in the second two from the stage. We had to hold our head up to see them. It was a great from the b ginning to the point end.

This is a fantastic, spectacular show. Wasnt particularly a fan of the baby theme and a little weirded at the two muscle men gymnasts, but that may be my military background and being hetero. TMI? Ha. They were very talented, just didnt enjoy the positions and closeness. My buddies brought it up first. Anyways… Absolutey visual artistry, and breathtaking acts of risk skill!
Just saw Zarkana this week. Ive seen six Cirques. Out of all of them, i would rate them in this order: Ka, Mystere, Love, Zarkana. Reviews led us to choose never to see Believe, and we missed One this visit, which we would have preferred. We wont see the 18+
If you are choosing only one Cirque, i recommend Ka.

Definitely worth the money. Its a good mix of comedy and acrobats. The costumes and make up are meticulous and so colorful. We were pretty amazed overall but did not get the story behind it, I guess its ok as long as we enjoyed the performances.
Thought we could pick seats but got assigned when we picked the tickets from the box office that morning. We were assigned seats in the first row, so close to the stage that we thought we were not going to enjoy the show but we loved being so close, got a different perspective. We could feel the energy of the artists, their body movements and thumping of their feet.
I had to take off one star just for the way the queues were not organized outside. Definitely come by 15 minutes before the show if you have the tickets, else you just end of waiting in the queue and its not pleasant :-(

Amazing show! I love how so much is going on at once. No matter where you turn something is happening. So much talent on one stage from the acrobatics to the live music. There were so many great moments. This is the second Cirque show i have been to. So exciting! I recommend for everyone to see!

The original cirque du soleil show that started it all. There’s several other cirque shows playing around the strip, but it was recommended that we see the original as our first cirque to watch.
Located in treasure island, we watched the 9:30 showing, it finished sometime after 11pm… Every seat seems to have an awesome view. They did close off the back sections during our show though. If you’re sitting in the front sections, you’re putting yourself at risk to become part of the show with a little bit of audience participation…
I don’t want to go into too much detail and ruin the excitement of watching it for the first time.
But there were some aspects of the show that was weird. A couple weird characters, and a couple weird costumes. Maybe the creator was under the strong influence of some natural herbs or something. Lol… But the talent of ALL the performers is AMAZING… they have so much skill… There is so much to see, sometimes you don’t know where to look.
They have a concession stand as soon as you enter, but they also allow outside food. We had some pastries with us, and we ended up munching on them a little during the show.
Definitely an entertaining show worth watching!
We got our tickets through Tix4Tonight a few hours before the show. Our seats cost over $ 90 at the box office, we paid about $ 60.

Cool show; fairly reasonably priced, as live shows go.
You’ll get your humor; you’ll get your live music; you’ll get your audience participation. And of course, you’ll get the amazing, how-​do-​they-​do-​that, MAN-​I-​have-​to-​get-​back-​to-​the-​gym acrobatics and dancing.
This was my first Cirque show, so I can’t compare it to others, but I will say that it was very enjoyable, and it did leave me interested in seeing another (perhaps when they’re on tour).

Mystere is traditional Cirque du Soleil at its best. This is CdS’ first show that they created as a permanent show (the previous shows were housed in a tent which travelled every few weeks), in residence at Treasure Island and has been going strong for over 20 years!
From a pure circus arts point of view (I’ve dabbled in aerials and flying trapeze in the past, so I know what is actually difficult vs. easy but showy), this show is my favourite of all the Cirque du Soleil shows I’ve seen. There is a higher percentage of circus acts in this show than others, and the acts are all technically outstanding — especially the flying trapeze, Chinese poles and bungee acts. Sure, it lacks the music of The Beatles’ Love or Michael Jackson: One, the story of Ka, or the unique water element of O, but in my opinion this is the best show that displays what Cirque du Soleil is all about (and best show for any circus students/​artists to actually see some awesome circus acts if any happen to be reading this!).
The theatre is big — I recommend sitting in the centre towards the middle or back (I sat in section 203 and it gave a great view). Bonus is that since the show has been going on for a long time, it is usually the cheapest Vegas Cirque show and you can always find either a discount code at the Treasure Island website, at the Tix4Tonight booths around Vegas, or Travelzoo/​similar discount ticket sites. You should be able to get a decent ticket for $ 75 – 100, service fees included. Enjoy!

Our first Cirque show and we enjoyed it!
Before the show even starts the entertainment begins and the audience is a part of it throughout the evening. They even got my hubby in on the action, which is usually unlike him but was hilarious.
There’s a lot going on during Mystere. You have to stay alert and keep looking around because at any moment there could be 2 – 3 different acts performing on stage, something going on behind you and folks climbing the walls lol. It can be overwhelming for some and if you blink you might miss something, but we really enjoyed the show and are glad we chose it as our first.
We stayed at Treasure Island so were able to get great seats buy one get one free. We also noticed they have deals at Tix4tonight booths.

Saw this amazing show a few weeks back when I was in Vegas. We had a small group and got very good seats… although it seemed that regardless of where you sat you had a decent view of everything happening.
The performance had a variety of different type of acts from acrobatics, dancing, Taiko style drums, high flying trapeze artists, and much more. Seemed to have something for everyone. Everyone in our party really enjoyed the show. The performers are all very talented.
From what I hear, compared to the price and performance of other Cirque du Soleil shows, this was a very good deal. I would definitely recommend this show especially if you can get the deal we got.

I actually saw Mystere for the first time way back in 2008. That was my very first time attending a Cirque show and I was blown away! Since that time I have been able to enjoy Beatles Love, Zumanity, Ka (although «enjoy» is being generous in this case), and MJ One. I wondered how my opinion of Mystere might change given this new perspective.
I still love this show and it may very well be my favorite Cirque of them all! This just feels like the quintessential Cirque Du Soliel/​Las Vegas experience!
Some highlights for me included.
— the act with the two strongmen was beyond impressive! Seriously. Not only the strength… but the balance displayed under pressure was incredibly impressive!
— the comedy relief was very amusing and I loved how they included audience members in the skits as well! …just as long as it wasn’t me! lol
— I loved the wacky costumes and sets. Very reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland in parts. Actually some of these scenes look like they were designed during some kind of hardcore acid trip! This is only underscored when the finale ends with a massive rainbow colored snail overtakes the stage… I liked all of it though!
— this is the Cirque that is the most circus like with plenty of acrobatics and stunts… which is what I want to see when I go to a Cirque show!
other items of note.
— the big baby just kind of freaked me out a little bit. There were still some funny moments during the show with him, but overall I feel like I could have done without it
— during the part of the show with the performers on the see-​saws one of the performers was having a rough night and botched a couple of spots and looked visibly agitated. I felt so bad for the guy. These stunts are so crazy tough, I’m sure you can’t nail them all.
— this is easily the most affordable Cirque on the strip with tickets starting at $ 65 and discounts very easy to get. If you have never seen a Cirque before, this would be the perfect one to start with!
Everybody has their own opinion and preference when it comes to these shows, but I thoroughly enjoyed Mystere yet again and wouldn’t be surprised if I ended up seeing it again very soon.
5 stars!

Magnifique Spectacle que nous avons fait avec notre fille de 2 ans !
C’était son tout premier, elle a adoré et nous aussi !
Des performeurs grandioses, de l’humour, des couleurs, tout y est !
Même si c’est un peu cher cela vaut vraiment le coût !

The better Cirque du soleil in Vegas.
Pretty cool.
