We wanted to see at least one show while we were in Las Vegas. When we arrived in June, all the shows were still shut down due to Covid. When things started to open up in July, we began trying to pick a show out. Then we saw a commercial for the Michael Jackson Cirque du Soleil show, and Leslie knew which one she wanted to see. So we bought our tickets in advance knowing they would be selling out. The show is in the theater at the Mandolin Bay Casino. Knowing we would have to walk a long ways, we arrived early and got an early dinner at the Border Grill. The food was quite good. A bit of a new take on Mexican. We then wandered through the casino to the theater. The casino was nowhere near as busy as Caesar’s Palace last weekend. David had seen Cirque du Soleil in Singapore several years ago and was looking forward to seeing the death defying aerobatics that Cirque du Soleil is known for. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take pictures or video of the show. The ushers were patrolling the aisles looking for people violating the rules (saw one gal have her phone taken away after she had been warned twice). But we did get some pictures of the set before the show and after. The show was spectacular. They featured Michael Jackson’s songs of course and there were a lot of images of him throughout the show. But the Cirque du Soleil acrobatics were amazing. You just can’t image how much practice it takes to get all of the music, lights, dances and acrobatics all synchronized to such perfection.
