text: What is there to do in Las Vegas? Dine like a king, gamble like the rich and famous, and of course, enjoy a show like an overly excited kid. The last two times in Vegas, I watched two shows: Thunder from Down Under and Chippendale. No, it wasn't my choice to watch these shows. Yes, I was there for bacherlorette's parties. I don't think BF would appreciate this type of shows, so we decided to watch something more \"traditional\".\n\nNeither of us have seen a Cirque du Soleil show. It seems to be the obvious choice. But which Cirque du Soleil show to watch? Currently there are 5 shows running in Las Vegas. Mystere at Treasure Island, O at Bellagio, KA at MGM Grand, the Beatles music theme Love at Mirage, and the adult theme Zumanity at New York New York. We immediately decided to watch the oldest (which also translate to the most classic) show, Mystere.\n\nMystere is truly an amazing show. The focus of the show is the origins of life in the universe. A few characters appeared to be pregnant and babies were seen throughout the show to carry the theme. We are not sure if there is a storyline. Maybe there is, but it's too artistic for us to understand.\n\nThere are many magnificent acrobatic performances. The part that impressed me the most was the \"hand in hand\". This act is an exhibition of strength and stamina by two men who perform the increasingly difficult balancing act on a rotating dome. I don't think I am able to describe the act in words. But if you've seen the show, you would understand how astonishing the act is.\n\nBetween acts, a crazy emcee (who looks kinda like Beetlejuice) and a giant baby interacts with the audience. Their parts are hilarious. I would recommend people to get to the show a little early to enjoy the pre-show funny skits.\n\nThe guy who sat right next to me added some laugh to the show for us. He had two cups of beer during the show (and who knows how much he drank prior to the show) and appeared to be intoxicated. The way he talks made me put him into the \"white trash\" category. Every sentence that came out of his mouth contains the word \"sh*t\". \"That's some amazing sh*t!\" \"Good sh*t!\" \"Crazy sh*t!\" \"That's ridiculous. Sh*eeeet!\" His wife pointed at an act and said \"Look\". His answer, \"I am watching that sh*t.\" A little girl and her dad got up to use the restroom. They ducked while passing in front of us to avoid blocking our view. The guy said, \"You guys don't have to walk like cat burglars and sh*t.\" The little girl looked scared. I don't exactly know why, but we laughed. What a funny guy, sh*eeeet!\n\nWhat a phenomenal show! We really enjoyed it. My sister saw KA and raved about it. I also heard good reviews about O and Zumanity from friends. We will definitely watch another Cirque du Soleil show next time in Vegas.
