My third Cirque show after Zarkana (which I actually saw at Radio City in New York) and O, which obviously, I saw at Bellagio (a couple of years ago).  I know people talk about O being the end all and be all of Cirque du Soleil and even of shows over all in Vegas, but my favorite is still my first - Zarkana.  And, while this may be blasphemy, I enjoyed Mystere more than O.\n\nCirque loves putting a lot of pomp into their performances, with very elaborate stages and settings.  My girlfriend and I ordered the Cirque movie on netflix once, which was sort of a mix of multiple shows turned into a new story, and we saw a lot of the stages for shows we hadn't seen yet.  Very impressive, but sometimes, difficult to know where to look.  There's simply too much going on.  Mystere, as the original, is very different.  The performances and acrobatics are amazing, but there isn't always a lot else going on around the main performances.  Sure, a couple of the acts involve multiple side performers, but some are just focused on the 1, or 2 or a few performers.\n\nLike all cirque shows, there is some comic relief before and during the show, and it was all funny and very entertaining.  The one thing I can say about this show is that it flew by.  I remember saying to my girlfriend at the end that I thought we were approaching an intermission.  However, the show was over and I looked at the time, and it had been about 90 minutes.  I don't know where the time went, but it flew by.\n\nThe theater itself is really intimate.  Don't worry about spending money on the lower half circle of seats - it isn't necessary.  If you buy the mid-level seats, or even the cheaper ones, then you'll be fine.  I would just try to ensure you are center stage, or as close to there as possible.  We sat in the very center of the upper sections, 5th row (EE), and our seats were fantastic.  Also, if you sit in the lower sections, there is a chance you're going to get messed with by a pre-show performer.  Popcorn was thrown and water was squirted.  If you stay a little higher, you can see it all and laugh at the people it's happening to, without getting wet or salty or buttery yourself.
