Cirque du Soleil Shows In Vegas
Mystere at TI: According to the over 2,000 customer reviews on Vegas.com, Mystere is tied for the title of best Cirque du Soleil show in Las Vegas, earning 4.7/5 stars. Holding a spot close to my heart, Mystere was the first Cirque show I ever experienced, and it didn’t disappoint. Typical of Cirque productions, the storyline is somewhat difficult to follow, but that doesn’t matter as the acrobatics and visuals are spectacular.
