If you ever see Love, sit in the front row of the balcony. They're better seats than the more expensive ones on the floor.

I've seen all the cirque shows in Vegas except for One and Believe. I take my mom to a new one every time she visits, so that's added up to a lot of Cirque shows over the years.
Zarkana was actually pretty good. They incorporate new screen technology into this show which gives the stage added depth at some points, and also props are much cooler. It's also gone back to being more of a acrobatic show like Mystere as opposed to a show like Love and Ka that are more geared to the story line and impresses with a lot of stage and theater props and technology. Only thing about Zarkana is, it's somewhat of a dark theme. I think O lends itself to being a much better "date" show.
You can't go wrong with either one, but I think O is the play here.
Whatever you do, do not go see La Reve. Fucking booooooooooooooooooooooooooring.
love was my favorite.
Anyway, you should consider using my trick to get good seats.
Basically you go to the box office and ask when they are releasing the "casino seats", and then show up at that time to buy them.
"O" has a specific line for this, and all other shows you just keep checking if the casino seats have been released when it gets fairly close (usually 10-60 minutes) prior to showtime.
You will still have to pay full price for the seats (and often the highest rate), but you will get the very best VIP seats, like 5th row center, which are usually reserved for the big whales.
For "O" specifically, do this:
The only downside to this trick is that there's a chance it will fail (though it usually works), and it does require a bit of effort. If you are with a girl who gets impatient through this Jewish haggling process, you're probably best off not doing it.You just get in that line about 15 minutes before showtime, and when you get to the front, they offer you tickets that were cancelled (or more likely, released by the casino). Some will be great, others will be not-so-great. If you are offered something not-so-great, refuse it. They might make you get back in line, which you should do. Then, when you get to the front again, you will be offered different seats. Eventually the line will disappear and you will be able to have them scroll through the remaining seats and you'll get a really good one.
I'm planning on seeing this show when I'm out there in December.
Any advice on where to sit?
Until this week I assumed that was an official Cirque show.
"You run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole; you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole."
Great advice but in this scenario not sure I'll have the time. I'll be in Vegas only 3 nights and pretty much only have one open for this show. I'd rather have tickets locked up in advance to avoid any possible snags.
"You run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole; you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole."
I've seen Zarkana. It's terrible. Ka was way better even with the final wall scene being projected rather than the performers doing it after the death last year.

Can you explain that? Are they just projecting old footage of that part?I've seen Zarkana. It's terrible. Ka was way better even with the final wall scene being projected rather than the performers doing it after the death last year.

Honestly it doesn't really matter IMO, It's stadium seating and unless you have terrible eyes even the "worst" seats are good. I think I was about 70 -80 % towards the back and the seats were still good.I'm planning on seeing this show when I'm out there in December.

Then again I have never sat in the front for any of these shows. I would think sitting really close could be a disadvantage in some waqys almost like sitting in the front row at a movie theatre
Instead of the performers harnessed in & performing on this wall, they've taped an old performance & project in onto the wall like a movie. They did this because that lady performer got killed last year & was probably the only way the could carry on with the show insurance wise.Can you explain that? Are they just projecting old footage of that part?

Thoughts on section 102 for O?
"You run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole; you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole."
Will need more information.
Which row? Do you know if your seat is off to the side, or closer to section 103?
BTW if you are going to pay the $ for 102, I really urge you to use the trick I posted to get better seats. For the same price you are paying, I got 5th row center (section 103).
Just stand in the "cancellation line", get your newly assigned seats, and if they suck, get back in the line. Eventually you will score great seats (especially after the line vanishes and you can just sit in front and they page through the remaining seats, many of which are really good).
I did this with Ben's mom in 2010. It didn't take long (maybe 15-20 min) and she was very glad to have waited the extra minutes when she saw the seats we got.
I'd actually be getting 102 at a discount from the Cirque site. I appreciate the tip but I hate doing stuff "last minute" especially with someone I only get to see 3-4x a year.
"You run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole; you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole."
And yeah, it's 102 closer to section 101. View provided on the site looks decent. No hand rail obstruction.
"You run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole; you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole."
Changed my mind. Decided on "Love". Much cheaper and we're sitting in the same section/row that Paul and Ringo sat when they saw the show.
"You run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole; you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole."
Discount tix for Love:
