Insider Secret - Cirque du Soleil's Beatle-inspired Love show sells out every night. Be sure to buy your tickets well in advance. Extend your experience after the show by hanging out in the hip R?volution Bar where DJs progress from Beatles to pop. |
"Cirque du Soleil" shows are prolific in Vegas including the Beatle influenced Love at the Mirage Hotel Las Vegas NV. Over 60 first-class athletes from around the globe perform every night except Tuesday and Wednesday in a theater built specifically for this production. Beatle song selections are woven into a collection of abstract sketches.
Athletes roller skate, dance, fly through the air, flip and horse around in vignette after vignette. Costumes are original and sometimes very functional. Scenes lead up to some kind of surprise or astonishment like a VW bug dismantling itself into thin air. Other Cirque shows can be seen at the Wynn, the Bellagio, "Treasure Island," New York, New York and the MGM Grand.
The current headliner at the Mirage is Danny Gans, impersonator and comedian. The $15 million Danny Gans Theatre seats over 1,200 and was custom-built for him and his band. His show is very tight with top notch musicians to back him up. He has over 300 impersonations in his repertoire of well-known celebrities and singers.
He'll knock out between 60-100 impressions a night. I thought his Dean Martin skit was very good and his George Burns was impressive. His comedic skills surface when he modifies the words to familiar songs, in character of course. His rapid fire changes are amazing and his signature shoes point out just how light he is on his feet.
On Danny's dark nights, Sunday, Monday and Thursday, other headliners take to the stage like comedians Ray Romano, Jay Leno and Kevin James. One stipulation Danny has in his contract is that no other singers are allowed to perform in his theater, so comedians are in the line-up on his days off. For the perfect party show, also check out Kiki Kalor.
You won't be disappointed when you seek the outdoor entertainment at the Mirage Hotel Las Vegas NV. Most of the dolphins in the Dolphin Habitat were born there. Kids can pose with the dolphins for photos and have their birthday parties there too. Guided tours are given during the day. To get up close and personal with the dolphins, become a trainer for a day and swim with the clever creatures - that's magical.
When you check-in to the hotel, it's hard to miss the stunning aquarium behind the desk. It is a state-of-the-art 53 feet long, eight feet high and 6 feet wide acrylic structure. It mimics a Pacific Rim coral reef with over 1,000 compatible species. Whether you're indoors or outdoors, you can always find some form of entertainment at the Mirage Hotel Las Vegas NV.
