Cirque du Soleil, Las Vegas by Zak

This is a really hard blog to write because there is so many things to describe. While we were in Vegas we went to Mystere, by Cirque du Soleil.

While we were waiting for the show to start, there was an actor pretending to be an usher. He did funny things with other people's tickets such as:
- he led a couple over to some seats and there was a hanging hook from the roof. He put the tickets on the hook and the tickets were pulled up to the roof. They were ripped into shreds and they came fluttering down. The man walked off and then pulled the couple's real tickets out of his pockets and waived them to the audience.

I was rolling on the floor laughing even before the show started.

When the show started, it was hard to keep track of everything that was going on.

My favourite part of the show was when a man, dressed up as a baby came onto the stage with a big ball and bounced the ball around and giggled and made funny baby noises. At one point he bounced the ball to the audience and the audience bounced it around, and then bounced it back to him. He tried bouncing it back to the audience again, but it got stuck between the audience and the stage. He made a very sad baby face. A man from the front seats got up and bounced the ball back onto the stage. Baby caught the ball and giggled. Then looked at the man who bounced the ball back to him and said "Papa" and then opened his arms wide and said "hug!". The audience laughed and Papa stood up and walked cautiously onto the stage. When he was about a meter away from the baby, the baby grabbed the milk bottle that was hanging round his neck on a cord, and sprayed Papa with milk. The audience howled with laughter.

The show started with human flags, people who could spin themselves around a pole and hang off at the top, perfectly horizontal with only one hand holding on.

Next there were the strong men, who could lift each other up with one hand.

There were more acts with the baby, the usher man and loads of other acrobats before the show finally ended.

I was extremely sad when the show ended, but needed a long sleep since it was very late when we got back to the RV.
