Its been going 5 years so i reckon it would be still playing when you go,i would say keep eye on website at end of month and see if may tickets appear may only sell tickets 6 months in advance at a guess,only plays thur to mon by the looks of it...have a great trip or you could just e mail the mirage im sure they give you answer have a great time.

I haven't heard anything about it closing so it's probably that the tickets aren't out that far in advance.

There may be another Summer of Cirque promotion next year with good prices on tickets. They are currently $109-128 at Tix4Tonight.

It's a great show and the best seats are not the most expensive ones. You are actually better in the cheapest seats as you have full view of everything that is going on.

The sound is excellent as you have Bose speakers in the headrest of your seat as well as in front of your seat.

Thx for that useful info. That makes sense re 6 months in advance<Yelzman, so maybe May tickets will be up at start of Dec & that's a great tip re seating Luci. I really want to see this show!

tickets now on sale for your dates....you may already know....

Thanks Yeltzman,
That's just what I was hoping for. Will definitely be booking this

I would hang fire with booking yet as there are likely to be offers out nearer your dates. Keep an eye on http://www.travelzoo.com the US version, not the UK version. They currently have Cat E tickets at $99 where they are $114 on the Mirage site, but there may be fees to be added to that.

There has been a Summer of Cirque promotion for the past couple of years with up to 50% off. I think there are sometimes offers on their own official website http://www.cirqudusoleil.com

Thanks Luci: will do a bit more research before I book

Not Going to disagree with anything Luci says a vegas expert and loves the place alot more than me.....but if you are desperate to see the show and if you are only going to save $15-20 dollars i would book it up now...and at least it will be paided for before you go..and not another expense closer the time you going.....whatever you Do have a Great Trip...And i Hope you Love vegas..

We bought our tickets at the Mirage I'm sure it was the afternoon and we saw the show that evening. I'm certain we got a good price because otherwise we'd have headed to the ticket office to try to get a better deal. There are also good eateries in The Mirage. Their buffet is quite good and they have California Pizza Kitchen too. We also go to Samba (Brazillian restaurant) but just for drinks at the bar. They do fab Caipirinhas.

And I don't disagree with you either yeltzman as that's a good point. If you only have a specific date in mind and would be upset if you didn't see it then book in advance and you know that you are going. I booked almost all my shows well in advance the first couple of times we went.

However the long running shows rarely sell out and if they did it would be on a weekend. You can usually get Love tickets at Tix4Tonight, but you can get a similar price booking in advance on an offer without the hassle of queuing there then having to traipse to the box office to exchange your voucher for a ticket.

It depends on your attitude to risk, and a bit of knowledge about how the shows sell . I usually book as soon as a good offer comes up regardless of whether it is months in advance or just a few weeks. The only shows I would book well in advance regardless are the headliners such as Celine Dion or Elton John. From what I've read you can get Rod Stewart tickets pretty easily.

Think we'll be booking this quite soon. Never been to Vegas before & this is THE show we want to see, so probably best not to take any risks.
Will be taking your advice Luci about less expensive seats.....thanks everyone for your help

Before you go booking, post here with the best price you can find and for which category to see if anyone can better it.

Any other shows in mind?

luci

Hi Lucie.........went ahead & booked the show + meal deal after an inital panic when no availability at all showed up on the Mirage's own site. Booked through Vegas.com $365...happy enough as it's our 1st night there & we can find our feet for our other nights' out.
Haven't seen any other must-sees yet but open to suggestions! (hint!)

Must sees........ Do you mean shows or something else? How long are you there and where are you staying? What type of things do you like

I can highly recommend the Jersey Boys which is moving to Paris in March http://www.jerseyboysinfo.com/vegas/

There is a Wildlife Habitat at the back of the Flamingo hotel that a lot of people don't even know is there and it's free http://www.flamingolasvegas.com/casinos/flamingo-las-vegas/casino-misc/wildlife-habitat-detail.html

Of course the Bellagio fountains which play every 15 mins after 7pm.

There is the Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat at the Mirage, $19.95 http://www.mirage.com/attractions/secret-garden.aspx

Jubilee! is a typical Vegas show, possibly the only one left and is a topless revue apart from certain shows. You should be able to get 2 for 1 tickets.

Not a show, but a nice place for a meal is Casa di Amore which is old school Italian and off strip http://www.casadiamore.com Sunday and Monday are half price wine nights or you can get a certificate on http://www.restaurant.com for $25 off 2 entrees for $2 instead of $10 with code DATE until the end of the month. If you call them you can book a free limo pick up from your hotel for the price of a tip.

Thanks Luci for all those tips & ideas. Will looke more closely at them when I return from Florence.

Hope You Enjoy the show,but i wouldnt have booked it for your first night you are there with the Jet lag etc and the 8 hr time change....say show starts at 8pm your body is going to be at 4am..we've always been in bed by 8-9 pm there time because we are shattered with the traveling and time change....but if you there only a few days you may not have a choice..enjoy trip and show

Oooo, a show on the first night is a big no no for me too. In fact a show in the first 4 days wouldn't be a good idea for me. I've lost count of the shows where I've fallen asleep as soon as they dim the lights.

luci

Thanks guys but it'll be our 1st night in Las Vegas..........Not our 1st night in US. We're going for 3 weeks & will spend the last 5 nights there so jetlag won't be a problem!!

Good News have a great trip,just wondering where else you going..
