Great show better than Mystere and La Nouba

Great show. Amazing stage work. We were in the 5th row, so we could see the stage/water manipulation in great detail -- you are just kept mesmerized by the activity.

While I highly recommend the show, I must say that $120 a pop is too steep. While we had good seats, I am well aware that folks sitting on the edges also paid $120 per seat. Only other criticism, which applies to other Cirque De Soleil productions, is that they always have too much background activity, which distracts the audience from the featured performers.

Hands down, "O" is the most remarkable show I've ever seen. On a technological level, it's amazing what they have done with the stage. On a performance level, I spent 90 minutes in awe of the things I saw done.

The only drawback to the show (and it's common to many Cirque shows that I've seen) is that there is too much going on at one time, and it's hard to know where to look.

'O' is good but not great (my wife disagrees). Or should I say, I was not wowed by the performance(s). However, the senery and staging are second to none. Still a must see at least once.

After seeing this show, I understood why they charge in excess of $100 per head. It was terrific. I lost count of how many times I said "Wow or unbelieveable". It was a very fast hour and 45 minutes, and I didn't want it to end. If you have time to see only one show in Vegas, make this the one!

Seen this show now 3 times (twice last year) It is FABULOUS, expensive but worth it for sheer originality and enjoyment.(only the pirate ship act doing less than last year on the performance we saw recently) Best seen from around 6-8 rows back(central if you can get seats) unless you enjoy seeing the activity under the water but we found the scuba divers distracting, also the high divers cant be viewed properly from balcony seating.Its a wonderful show, I dont think anyone can fail to admire what this troup is doing (night after night).

We are not into circus type shows but this had to be seen. We wanted to say been there, done that. I found the seating awful for the money,. Paid for the best seats, 120.00 per ticket and I had a bar in front of my face. Guess I like the Vegas type production shows better, after all it is Vegas.

EXCELLENT! We had front row seats. Buy tickets online and way in advance for best seats. I can not even explain how great this show is. If you like other Cirque shows, then you'll love this one. If you've never seen a Cirque show, then this is the best of the best. We were blown away, it was just stunning! Well worth the money spent. We are returning to Las Vegas later in the year, and will be seeing it again. GO!!!!!!!!

Saw the show on 7-23. While I consider it to be really good, I don't think it's as good as Mystere. Have to agree that the show is very busy and you can get very distracted looking at everything at once. I didn't find the music as moving as other Cirque shows I've seen. Wouldn't pay to see it again, but overall a solid show.

This show is a one of a kind. I'm not a real big theater person but I thought this show was great. It is very busy and you may miss one or two things moving along in the background but overall it was a super production. My fiance and I had "limited view" seats that were in the 2nd row of the upper section. I did have a little wire railing that I had to look through but it was not enough to take away from the performance-there was about a foot or so between the wires so after the show started I didn't even notice them there. I would recommend this show to anyone. The clowns during the intermissions are actually pretty funny.

This show took my breath away, I was truly transported into the show. I did
not think about what I would do after, whether I should have stood on that
last "soft 18," where I was going to eat next, etc. I was enchanted. It was
the one of the best shows I have ever seen including shows on Broadway
and in London. I loved it. Worth every penny!!

How do you describe something that is indescribable? What a show! We had already seen Mystere last year, so we were somewhat ready for another Cirque production. This was an amazing show......what a production from the theater, the performers, and the music. It's impossible to compare the two Cirque shows....Mystere is more gymnastic in its presentation while O is more synchronized swimming (amazing) and high diving (breathtaking!). The contortionists were beyond description!

I had to see this since I had also seen Mystere and some other Cirque shows. The way the staging has been done you don't know if they are diving into 20 feet of water or two inches, so that is constantly amazing. I found it to be a little busy in comparison to the other Cirque shows, but it's still really good. Worth seeing once, and twice if you could get half-price tickets!

I have seen pretty much all of the Cirque du Soleil's shows. I have seen Mystere (excellent) and La Nouba (excellent). I was so excited to see "O". What a complete and utter disappointment. I have never been so bored. I felt robbed. I spent 250 bucks on two tickets. My husband hated every minute of it. I know everyone on the board thinks this is the best show. What a bore. Trust me stay away.

The show was spectacular and we enjoyed it very much! A word of advice, pick your tickets up early. We had dinner reservations at LeCirque at the Bellagio at 5:30 and tickets to the show at 7:30. We went to pick our tickets up at 5:20 and there was a huge waiting line to pick up tickets and we were late for our reservations which really stressed us out! It would have been nice if they had given priority to people picking up tickets for that evenings show, but they did not. I complained to the line hostess and received a response that was basically, "I don't care." It's a shame, I thought they would have displayed a little more class.

I'm usually turned off by all the hype, but this show was so incredible. It was fantastic. I originally thought that the tickets were a little high, however, it was worth every penny!!!

Truely amazing and worth the price.
Some people say the Mystere is better, but I think the Baby detracts from that show.
O has amazing music. The preformers are world class, and the clown skits are actually funny.
I can't wait to see it again, as there is too much going on the see everything the first time.

Breathtaking, emotional show. Also, technically very sophisticated - as an engineer I was awe inspired. Don't waste your money on a cheaper show you will only sort of enjoy. "O" is an experience you will not soon forget!

I am by far a young women, but let me say that watching this show and all the beautiful young performers who defy gravity, I felt 20 again. I have never in my life seen such a show. I purchased my tickets 90 days in advance and got front row seats for me and my daughters. I was well worth the $121.00 EACH. I would recommend this show to anyone who enjoys looking at amazementin every act they have.

This show was fabulous. I would go again in a heart beat. I do have one recommendation. I got my tickets about 2 months in advance and did not have the chance to know were my seats were ahead of time, not sure if there is a way to do that. I actually sat in the last row of the balcony on top, I thought the seats would really be bad and was very unhappy, but to my surprise, we had the best seats in the house. The stage for O is very deep, and you could not make out everything that was happening unless you could see if from the balcony. There is a lot going on under the water as well that is pretty cool, I would sit in balcony again, it made the show a lot better!!!! I did find out from someone at the show that if you stay at the Monte Carlo or Belagio you do get a choice of better seats.

Liked Mystique better. The theater is beautiful and performers great but at over $100.00 pre ticket it had better be good. Worth seeing once to tell the friends back home you saw it BUT I'd rather see other shows at half the price.

I am a frequent Vegas visitor and have seen most of the production shows in Vegas. I cannot begin to describe just how breathtaking an experience "O" is. I got roped into going to it by friends and I complained endlessly about the ticket prices. Then we go to pick up the tickets and there are literally hundreds of people waiting in line for hours to buy the tickets of people that don't show. Once I got into the doors and the show started, I understood why all those people were waiting for a CHANCE to buy tickets... this show was INCREDIBLE!!! Although hard to describe in words, it's like a Michael Parkes print come to life. Multi-dimensional and elegant, the show has an almost dreamlike quality about it. For those of you contemplating seeing this show, just fork over the money and go see it... you'll never regret it.

This show will leave you awe-inspired, whether it be your first time, or in
our case, the fourth. My husband and I both feel that no trip to Las Vegas
would be complete with out a evening immersed in the beauty, splendor,
artistry, and ingenuity of this feast for your eyes and ears.

Once comfortably in your seat at the on-set of the performance, you will
soon forget the challenge it was to get your tickets and leave with the
indelibly etched memory of one fantastical show. An absolute DON'T
MISS!

I saw the show on my wedding night and it was my first Cirque Du Soleil epxerience. I was totally blown away by what I can. Granted, I didn't know what to expect from the show (and the only reason I even knew about it was because my wife had mentioned it), but I can honestly say that it was worth every penny of the admission price and I would happily spend the money again to see it.

As an aside, I saw Mystere on another trip and didn't enjoy it nearly as much as "O". That may have beeen because "O" took my cirque du soleil virginity.
