Pretty cool that they still have August 24 to September 05, 2010 presales (need to register for those). They are very empty as of now compared to the regular August 24 to September 05, 2010 shows.

Unless you have a girlfriend who makes you go see the circue da soleil.
Not to mention I know the guy who owns CDS.

Kooza was absolutely stunning...but if you're familiar with Chinese circus, some of the acts will not be new. The two guys on the revolving wheels = OMFG.

They do, but you have to get the VIP tickets. They throw in lots of cool extras with the VIP tickets too, they take your picture, and have tons of awesome food they bring around. And unlimited booze/drinks, so its pretty sweet. Ontop of that you get washrooms that aren't nasty, and reserved seats so its not a hassle to find your seat/keep your seat.

I went, first time going to a proper circus and to be honest I was pretty amazed. I was just sitting there half the time with my jaw dropped, it was pretty sweet

Nice 30% off, where can you buy tickets and is there a special promo code for it?

That's the one Cirque Du Soleil show that continuously gets negative reviews but like I always say you never know until you watch it yourself.

Kooza was a decent show but nothing new here. Recycled acts from other Cirque Shows. If you have seen a bunch of the other ones before then you will probably still enjoy it but it wouldn't really be anything new. If you're new to Cirque then this is a really good starter show to check out.

The theme of Kooza is Celebration. So there was less performance acts and more Fun-filled stuff. The Performances were all top notch stuff. It was definitely a fun evening.

I saw it first hand when I was in Vegas 8 months ago and it was crap. Good thing the tickets came free with the hotel package or else it would've been a total ripoff.

Sorry, I just realized that my gf sent me a link to order with a 30% promo code applied.

I can't find what the 30% code was, but here is a 20% code that works.

Phew, good thing I didn't waste my money. Chris Angel is one of the only Vegas shows I haven't watched so debated it for a bit until reading negative after negative review. Next up maybe Beatles then.

I've seen Corteo here in Vancouver and Mystere in Las Vegas. Both were good, though not completely extraordinary. How is Kooza compared to the two?

I like Kooza better than Corteo.
Corteo was in funeral theme eventhou it was a happy childhood review.

"O" still the best

Out of all the Vanocuver shows I've been too I ranked them the following.

1. Varekai (Not the most mind blowing but non stop action and very fun)
2. Kooza (Although recycled acts still a fairly solid show)
3. Corteo (Was kind of boring and didn't really offer too much at all)

Overall ranking of shows I've watched though

1. O
2. Varekai
3. Mystere
4. KA
5. Kooza
6. Corteo
