text: This was our first Cirque show in Las Vegas despite half a dozen trips to the Strip in the last couple years We would read up on reviews beforehand so we knew that this was more a Broadway style show than a straight Cirque show So we did not enter the theater with any illusionsnnEarlier in the day as we purchased our tickets at the Box Office we were given for drink coupons in the nearby Gold Lounge Before the show we stopped in to redeem thembut that is another reviewnnThe theater is decently sized with comfy overstuffed chairs and drink holders Our seats were row W along the side center walkway As a previous review noted the show is very center stage oriented so we were glad we had not gone with the alongthewall seats on the main floor We would have been closer to the stage but our view would have been skewednnBefore the show started about ten of the performers wandered the ground floor aisles entertaining audience membersnnThe show itself is definitely Broadwaystyled A single Elvis impersonator never appears but rather they have woven pictures videos home movies Elvisinspired performers throughout the acts Slower songs had split vocals with four excellent live female singers They had amazing voices we really enjoyed them The live band is fabulous as well the drummer is a hoot That guy had boundless energy and was always moving for the entire minute shownnThe song arrangements are fun very modern Lots of pounding bass dance beats layered over everything We liked it so much we purchased the show cd afterwards Kudos to them for updating Elvis nmusic and keeping it contemporarynnThe acrobatic acts are interspersed with the musicaldance numbers For the price of the tickets we were really expecting a little more Cirque and a little less Broadway That being said the acts that were included were very entertaining They have a multitrampoline act that was a riot I swear the guys were monkeys flying around Each act is themed around a specific song or period in the life of Elviswe were really wondering just how they would incorporate the FrenchCanadian circus performers with the hillbilly King of Rock n Roll While some of them are a little tenuous they did their best to keep the flow goingnnWe noticed a fair amount of empty seats in the balcony so do not pay full price for the tickets anywhere They have them on sale in multiple locations including the discount ticket centers on the Strip and also online in a for two ticket deal
