Default Beatles Love Show in Las Vegas is Great !

While I have been to other cirque du soleil shows this one is by far the most enjoyable I have been to. I just came back from a conference in Las Vegas; while there I went to the Beatles Love show. It is the closest you will get to experiencing the Beatles in a concert and a must of things to do it you get the chance. The theater is round and I can say that there is not a bad seat in the house. The music including out takes of the Fab 4 talking to each other is well fabulous. They have larger then life silouettes of the beatles which come to life etc. Too many things to describe. The actors are great as well, kind of like Sergeant Pepper coming to life only the whole world is just as crazy. Even the confetti is shaped like guitar picks.

The sound system in this theater is truly one of the best I have ever heard, very true to a concert experience and each head rest in every chair has surround sound speakers in them which are used in a mild unobtrusive way . While the sound track now out for 2 years having won grammy awards is great it does not compare to what you will hear at this show. By the way the preview on this website does not hold a candle to the actual show: http://www.cirquedusoleil.com/en/sho...ed-carpet.aspx

Yep, great show. I've enjoyed all the Cirque du Soleil shows I've seen in Vegas.

Almost every show I've seen in Vegas followed a huge dinner and ****tails. I've fallen asleep through most of them. Kind of embarrassing, especially at the Love show where I was so close to the stage and the performers noticed.

Saw it twice. I enjoyed it the first time, second time not so much. I also saw Ka on a seperate trip and didn't like it. I saw "O" and think that was the best show of the three. The stage & acts in "O" were amazing.

Never cared for any of the Cirque shows I' ve seen, except Love, and that was entirely because of the music.
