Le Rêve Tickets
|
Unless you're living in a cave, you've
no doubt heard the famous Las Vegas mantra, "What happens in Vegas
stays in Vegas." Nowhere is this more true than with the incredible
show of Le Rêve, and Vegas mogul Steve Wynn's newest casino, Wynn Las
Vegas.
Le Rêve, which translates in French to The Dream, began humbly as a
1932 painting by Pablo Picasso. Steve Wynn bought the painting in 2001
for an undisclosed sum that was surely in the multi-millions. Wynn
briefly considered naming his casino after the painting, but later
settled on Wynn Las Vegas.

Originally created by ex-Cirque du Soleil producer Franco Dragone, (O,
Mystere Alegria and Quidam), who also created Celine Dion's Caesars
Palace show, Le Rêve is a breathtaking spectacle that begins with 1
million gallons of water in an aqua theater in the round.
The show's theme represents a creative look at life's journey, but
whether or not the audience understands its philosophy, Le Rêve is
simply visually spectacular.
Performers dive and show off incredible feats of aerial acrobatics
amid spectacular special effects and heart-stopping choreography
estimated to cost as much as $40 million dollars to produce.
Steve Wynn bought the rights from Dragone to produce Le Rêve and,
after an 8 million dollar renovation and much public controversy, has
"Vegasized" the show to appeal to a wider audience who expects a
certain level of entertainment, both from Las Vegas shows in general
and Steve Wynn productions specifically. Detractors have criticized
the production for being too similar to Cirque du Soleil, and while
there are some elements reminiscent of Dragone's former productions,
Le Rêve stands very well alone, with a theme, characters and plot that
tell a story uniquely its own.
The newly created version of La Rêve is once again open to the anxious
public and, in true Steve Wynn style, this production may actually
change the way theater is presented in Vegas. Wynn has added a VIP
element for $159 per person that includes luxurious seating in the
Champagne Circle that promises lots of leg room, one bottle of Perrier
Jouet Champagne per couple, chocolate-covered strawberries and private
monitors that allow guests to both watch the show on stage and view
shots underwater, aerially, and off stage they would otherwise not be
able to glimpse. Given that his show is constantly moving with
performers and numerous platforms that can be raised or lowered
throughout the performance, it's a real plus to have this special
birds eye view of all the action.
Overall, Le Rêve show is a tremendous value for the money, where the best
seats to a top Vegas show can cost as much as $300 a ticket. Wynn Las
Vegas is nothing to laugh at either. With a Mobil Five Star rating and
awarded the AAA Five Diamond designation, visitors to this pedigreed
casino resort can relax, luxuriate in their surroundings and truly
enjoy the show.
