| KA is a favorite of mine and have gone to it three times. Always used the discounted ticket booths around the strip. | |

| I remember seeing "O" years ago and thought it one of the most spectacular shows I had ever seen, and I've seen many on Broadway and London over the years. | |

| The tank to be visible to audience so underwater acrobatics would be part of show. I found it to be more just diving and not even much water fountains. | |

| for visible underwater performing you really have to go to the Mermaid shows at Weeki Wachee in Florida. For water fountains as a part of an acrobatic show Le Reve (performed in the round) at the Wynn/Encore in Las Vegas is known for a multi-tiered pyramid. House of Dancing Water (in Macau), The Han Show (in Wuhan) and La Perle (in Dubai) are the other major water based Cirque style shows--only the first is from Cirque du Soleil though all 4 are created/directed by Dragone. | |

| There used to be a show at the now defunct Riviera which had an on-stage tank. It was fun. "O" didn't have that, but the amount of lighting, different levels of ways that platforms would appear in the water, the swimming and diving, etc. made it still a very impressive show. There are apparently many different levels of oxygen stations under the water for the performers, so logistically this is an extremely complex and accomplished production. I thought "Mystere" was actually not that interesting after a while, though, of course with Cirque du Soleil the acrobatics are indeed impressive. I just wasn't as engaged with the thematic elements, the music or the presentation of it. Chacun a son gout! :) | |

| One of my former students was the Underwater Stage Manager for "O." She worked in full scuba gear every night. | |

| It was very unique. Now that cirque tours everywhere I probably wouldn’t think mystere is that special anymore. But it still sells tickets to keep open. | |
