ARIA HOTEL AND RESORT
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA
How come I got a seat in the 2nd row center on a Friday night on the day of the show. Well, it is because this show is not great. Don't get me wrong, the actors and singers are fantastic. First rate performance. Problem is that Elvis did not need to be done by Cirque du Soleil. Cirrque du Soleil does every show on the strip in Las Vegas. There is only so much hand standing and trampoline jumping people you can take. These are talented young men and woman with incredible bodies doing the same thing on every stage in Vegas. I love the energy and talent, but c'mon this is Elvis music. People want to hear the voice of Elvis, not a recreation of every other show on the strip. The music here is excellent. The delivery is second rate. This is not the kind of tribute the King would have wanted. It is full of cheesey crap that does not fit Elvis or his music. This is a total hack job of Elvis. While the performers are excellent, committed and talented, the content really sucks. There comes a time when you need to say we have enough of Cirque du Soleil and let some other talented individuals run with this type of show. I am done with Cirque du Soleil shows. It is time for pure music or another type of entertainment. UPDATE: SHOW CLOSED!
