Back in Vegas

I had a few days off so I decided to go to Vegas! 

I know everybody goes to Vegas to turn up but I am a little different hehe. I go to Vegas to watch the shows :-P

The last time I came to Vegas I saw "O" and "BeLIEve". This time I got to experience five different Cirque Du Soleil shows. AND Britney Spears!!!! 

The Piece of Me Show is UNBELIEVABLE!!! That is the biggest theatre I have ever seen (Not gonna compare to an actual concert because she is not touring or anything because the Circus Tour was also an amazing show.). That theater was transformed to house this concert and in each section of the show it looks like a different show. Brilliant. 

The dancers are on point. All of them are amazing, fierce and hot!! I fell in love with them. 

The setlist is phenomenal. She has a setlist of hit after hit. It is literally a piece of her this show. We go through all of her main moments of her career. I was amazed with the versions of songs and the amount of hit songs she has.

Now, Britney, I know she is not the Britney of our 90's and 00's but she is starting to kill the game again. I was like: Look at you throwing some fierce dance moves there haha! She was even doing double pirouettes. 

She will renew with Planet Hollywood for a long time because the show was sold out and everybody was having a blast.

After this trip I am only missing the show Love to complete my Cirque Du Soleil in Vegas journey.

Let me start with my least favorites which were Kà and Mystére. 

Kà had the moving stage which was a very cool and all but that was it. I did't get any chills or was scared for the performers at any moment. I saw some promos before and was expecting a lot more from it. But if you look at the show from a technical point, it is shocking. The stage literally flips around throughout the whole show. Great to see but not for that price.

Mystére was my least favorite of all. I did not understand what was going on. The theater/stage was the usual Cirque du Soleil so that was unimpressive. I remember almost falling asleep during the show. I never felt that before in a Cirque show but I was bored.

NOW, let's talk about the best shows!!!

Zarkana was great! I got to see the show in New York at the Radio City Music Hall and they sure changed A LOT of things. The name lost a little bit of sense because they lost the character of Zarkana in the remake of the show but it is still impressive. It looks like a theater but then suddenly you are brought into the world of Cirque ! I was loving the numbers presented and the flying over the audience had my mouth open haha. MUST SEE!!

My favorite two shows in town are One and Zumanity.

Zumanity is the most sensual Cirque show. I have never seen so much sex on a stage. I was having all the feels in that audience. They sure kept me engaged and the whole theater. I came back and saw the show a second time. It was a mixture of Cirque with Cabaret and Burlesque. It was a great experience.

One was the show I waited until the last day to see. I almost missed it because they were almost sold out. But luckily I bought the last two seats of the house. THE SHOW WAS EVERYTHING. Just the music of Michael Jackson by itself is ridiculously amazing. 

The theater was completely redesigned for the show. All the seats have their own sound system. It was an immersive experience. They had the most simple circus act all the way to a Michael Jackson projection that made it look like he was alive. I was almost standing up and jamming with the songs. The audience cried, laughed and ended up leaving the theater wanting more.

Let the MJ legend live forever!!
