This is a great show for both children and adults. It's a truly international production that leaves the limitations of culture and language behind. It will be helpful if children are briefed about the story/plot before the show. In fact, it will help everybody to learn the story before the show. This particular show features lots of pyrotechnics, puppets, martial arts, and a moving stage that is amazing and state of the art. A good choice for boys of any age.
As usual with Cirque, the show begins before the actual performance, with the performers literally swinging from the rafters, playing instruments and interacting with guests in the audience. Arrive a bit early for the full experience. This particular Cirque is more about stage effects and less about feats of athletics than some of the shows. There are several Cirques playing in Vegas; check out the different offerings before making up your mind.
Ticket prices range from $50.00 to $165.00. The KA Theater seats approximately 1500 guests, and it would appear there are really no 'bad' seats. Even seats in the very back have a great view and experience, so feel free to economize. On the other hand, if you particularly want great seats, book early and online. Be aware that unlike the road shows, where the premium seats really do have the most fun, the most interaction with the cast, that's not true for KA. Seats in the theater have speakers in the headrests to add subtle sound effects to the stunning visuals. Tickets can be purchased directly inside the MGM Grand Casino, near the KA Theater, and appear to be available the day of the show you would like to attend, although the lines at the ticket counters get very long as show times approach. If you prefer, Show & Dinner packages are also available and can be purchased on line. These include a set menu at your selected restaurant and KA tickets.
Show Guide is $20.
Be aware that there is no intermission; go to the restroom before the start of the show. Bringing in drinks and popcorn, etc. is permitted. Lots of people bring in alcoholic beverages. Photos are not permitted inside the KA Theater; ushers resort to public humiliation to make guests stop using their cameras, so beware.
