All the bitching I have been doing about having to be here in Vegas are moot. I bought my $165 ticket to see Cirque du Soleil's "KÀ" performance a few months ago, anticipating what this would be like to see in person. I was excited, being a Cirque virgin and all.My ticket was for the 9:30 p.m. show and it was fucking amazing. It was the best theatrical performance I have ever seen. Better than Les Misérables, Rent, etc. Sure, the story was little hard to follow, and upon reading a synopsis, I missed some parts; but that didn't detract from the actual show. You get the gist of it anyway.
However, I did find myself watching the technical side of things a lot. I mean, come on, the "sand cliff deck" is the world's largest elevator (or so the Discovery Channel told me). It was totally amazing and I can understand why people rave about Cirque du Soleil.
Next time I'm in Vegas, which will be in November of this year, I plan on going to see "O" at the Bellagio. I hear it's fantastic as well. Actually, I hear that about all of their shows.
