\"Roy\/SAC<\/a>I just had my first “real” weekend in months. I left Friday afternoon to Las Vegas to have fun (and not to a trade show).<\/p>\n

I stayed at the “Aladdin” Hotel and Casino which is currently under construction, because it is being transformed to a Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino.<\/p>\n

I watched two Cirque Du Soleil shows, the two which were the highest on my “have to see” list.
One on Friday and the other one on Saturday. I had already a ticket for Cirque Du Soleil’s “KA”<\/a> at the MGM Grand for Saturday.<\/p>\n

I decided last minute to try to get a ticket for Cirque Du Soleil’s “O” at the Bellagio on Friday. You can see the “O” Trailer<\/a> for the show at the official Cirque Du Soleil Website. I was lucky. I got there 1 Minute before the show started and got a ticket because somebody else did not showed up (the show was sold out). I got for $150 a premium seat in Row F (6) right in the center of the row, quite a bargain. <\/p>\n

Next on my list are “Mystere”, “Zumanity” and “Love” <\/p>\n

If you are going to see “KA”, try to get seats in the center of the venue and not towards the side, trust me on that. I was sitting at a “medium” quality seat more towards the side. I might have to watch it again from a center seat. Great show! I can highly recommend it. Here are 3 Videos from the Show<\/a>. You have to watch the 2nd one: Extract from “The Slave Cage”, which shows the act “Wheel of Death” which is one of the best parts of the whole show.<\/p>\n

Most people I talked to who have seen “O” and “Le Reve” say “O” is the better one which I disagree with. I like “Le Reve” better (playing at the Wynn) . Le Reve is an in-official Cirque show<\/a> by Franco Dragone, the creator of the cirque shows “O”, “Mystere”, “Alegria” and “Nouvelle Experience” as well as Celine Dion’s “A new Day”. <\/p>\n

Yeah, I became a Cirque Fan, whcih should be obvious by now. I joined their free Cirque Du Soleil Club<\/a> to get news, updates, access to special content and promotions. The Membership is absolutely free. I also got most of the shows as video now and several of the shows soundtracks on CD.<\/p>\n

Cheers,
Carsten aka Roy\/SAC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
