Cirque du Soleil's Mystère Review {Las Vegas}

During our recent trip to Las Vegas, we had the amazing opportunity to experience Cirque du Soleil's Mystère at Treasure Island.  This high-energy show has something for everyone - comedy, breathtaking acrobatics, amazing choreography, and just an all-around magical feeling from start to finish.

This was my first Cirque du Soleil experience and it definitely didn't disappoint.  As we entered the theater with a sleeping Baby Z, the usher made sure that we were properly seated and we ended up getting upgraded to lower level seating.  I had no idea how well the kids would behave and was actually prepared to spend half the show outside the theater but, lo and behold, the kids were absolute angels!  All we had to do was make sure Lil J had popcorn in hand and Baby Z had food in her mouth literally the entire show.  Mission accomplished!

The pre-show entertainment started approximately ten minutes before the show officially did.  And was it ever funny!  I don't want to spoil the fun but lets just say that Baby Z was squealing on cue and both hubby and I were worried it would attract attention and then the spotlight would shine on us!  Luckily, it didn't happen but a few of our fellow audience members became lucky {unlucky?} participants in the show.

Once Mystère started and the performers came out, I think my jaw dropped in awe at every single aspect - the acrobatics, choreography, musical score, and the action.  The magic of Mystère seemed to engulf the auditorium and our breaths were taken away.  It also brought back many memories of my early days as a competitive gymnast and the realization that I was once able to do a number of the tumbling sequences that were part of the amazing performance.
