Le Reve – The Dream

Die abendliche Show im Wynn hat mich tief beeindruckt. Die Bühnen, wenn man es so nennen darf, ist zum einen ein Wasserbecken mitten im Theater und Luftraum darüber bis zur Decke des Gebäudes. Die Artisten brennen während der Show ein Feuerwerk ab, das seines gleichen sucht. Der Zuschauer bekommt eine vielzahl von Tanz, Akrobatik, Equilibristic Einlagen im Wasser, auf dem Wasser mehrere Meter über dem Wasser oder einfach irgendwo dazwischen. Der gesamte Theatersaal ist die Bühne und vor allen Dingen zu beginn der Show muß man sich zunächst einmal daran gewöhnen, dass so viel Aktion presentiert wird. Wem all das noch nicht genug ist, kann auf bestimmten Plätzen noch zusätzlich ein Monitorbild der «Backstage» Aktionen die zum gelingen der Show notwendig sind ansehen, die zusätzlichen Taucher im Becken, die Tätigkeit der Bühnenarbeiter und die Vorbereitungen der einzelnen Elemente der Show laufen zeitgleich auf dem Bildschirm ab.
Bei dieser Show ist Las Vegas voll in seinem Element, extrem kurzweilig, Staunen über die Leistung der Akteure und schon fast eine Reizüberflutung der Zuschauer, jedoch im positiven Sinn.

I have been on most of the Cirque Du Soleil shows, by far this one is the BEST one !!! Highly recommend you guys :) very modern, entertaining and a real Vegas show. Worth every penny that you spend…

WOWZA!!!
I have seen many of the LV «circus style» shows that are on the strip.
As locals know, when people are visiting we try to entertain.
For me, taking people to shows is usually something special, and fun.
Something special does not even come close to describing the magnificence of the La Reve show! From the moment the lights dimmed, to the very end it was a visual spectacle of dancers, acrobats, performers, water, fire. Truly a magical evening!
I brought my Sister and her 10yro. Through the entire show, his giant eyes were trying to take it all in, hanging on the edge if his seat. It was the best!
The cast is spectacular, they truly take over the entire room with performance.
Unquestionable professionals that are proud to be in one of the best shows I have seen to date!

the best show in Las Vegas!
if you are in Las Vegas for the first time — go in the first place!

I’ve been to almost every Cirque show since the beginning. My dad took me and my mom when I was a child, and I’ve followed the tradition ever since.
Although beautiful, there was too much dancing for me, and not enough acrobatics. The show was beyond short, as well. When it was over, my mom asked if it was another intermission, and to be honest, I thought the same thing. But, no, the performance was through.
A beautiful show, but not worth the money, in my opinion.

It was an awesome experience and so visually stimulating! We sat in the second row which was the splash zone. We didn’t get splashed at all, however the seats were perfect to catch everything! I really enjoyed it…

Such an amazing production! The visuals in the show are just incredible. I’ve seen it a few times from different parts of the arena and every time I see it I find something new! One of the best shows on the strip by far.

Very good show, similar to, but different than a cirque show. There was many unique things about the show. I am glad I got free tickets for staying at Encore, but it was enjoyable both in terms of music, dance, swimming, etc. The show is rather dark in general.

Pretty sweet show. We sat in the splash zone because the tickets were cheaper, and I still don’t understand why people hate those seats. I thought they were awesome and got to be within inches of everything that was going on. Just because your close doesn’t mean you’re going to get soaked. All you catch is a little mist. It was seriously a great show filled with lots of color, beauty, brawn, and crazy theatrics. Great show!

I am actually at a loss for words when it comes to describing how awesome La Reve — The Dream is. The husband surprised me with tickets for my birthday last August. (yes, it took me 6 months to figure out that I need to review this show) And it definitely took my breath away.
The story was fantastic, the theater and sets were beautiful and the cast did a phenomenal job. It was very enthralling and had me hooked. In that, I didn’t pass out mid way! And that says a lot, because I do have a very short attention span.
Seating has a splash zone, which kids will enjoy. Yes, it’s a kid friendly show! Our seats were great too. Close enough to see everyone and enjoy the show, far enough to not get wet!
Definitely check out La Reve. It’s worth it!

If you’re contemplating which Vegas show to see, I highly recommend Le Reve over all the Cirque du Soleil shows.
Le Reve was my first Vegas show, and I keep returning ever since. The theatre is circular with the water stage in the center. Unlike all the other shows on the strip; every seat at this show is awesome. Whether you want to be higher up, to take in all the action, or in the front to see everything up close, you can’t go wrong.
The bottom front rows are «splash zone» seating, which means there’s a chance you may get wet. It’s also the cheapest seating area and I have to say, it’s the best choice! From my experiences, I may have felt one or two droplets and that was it. This isn’t SeaWorld. You won’t get drenched. It’s also more fun with the kids. Cirque du Soleil shows can get boring in my opinion, besides the Michael Jackson one that is. That one was enjoyable. Anways, Le Reve is exciting and faster paced so the kids remained engaged the entire time!
There’s a moment in the show where one of the characters circled around the stage brooding. It was so neat because he was right there in front of us and we were able to interact with him. I mean we weren’t supposed to but the kids waved and he waved back, made funny gestures, it was neat! The swimmers also come up out of the water directly in front of us. During the show, performers descend from the ceiling, and it’s much more grand looking up from the front seats. You also feel the cool breeze when water rushes down from the ceiling as well.
At the ticketing desk, I witnessed some people walking away because the ticket prices were a little steep. They were offered splash zone seats since it’s a little cheaper, but they were under the impression they’d get really wet and that’s not true. You may get a splash here and there if you’re lucky. So to all of you contemplating seeing this show, dont turn it down! Get the splash zone seats if you wanna save a couple dollars and see for yourself. You can also try checking the many tix4tonight booths to see if you can save even more!

I know why you’re here. You’re wondering «Should I see Le Reve or O?»
You’ve only got the time/​budget for one water show while in Vegas, so I’m going to make this very, very easy on you.
See O.
There.
Le Reve isn’t bad at all. It’s fun and artsy and worth the price of admission. There are a few «wow» moments, but when you’re in a town this competitive in the live entertainment sector, you gotta keep me on the edge of my seat the whole time.
Le Reve is ambitious, with the whole theatre-​in-​the-​round/​dance thing, but that ambition limits the stage settings and ability to create interesting special effects. Most of the acts are rehashed versions of previous acts in new costumes with new characters.
Sitting way up front isn’t a great idea, as lots of the action happens in the air. I recommend choosing a seat closer to the center or back of the theatre.
I don’t wanna seem like I’m harping on Le Reve. It’s fine. It’s just not as much of a spectacle as I was led to believe.

While visiting Vegas i decided to take my girlfriend to watch this show. The show was great. Never a dull moment. Its a water show so i would try to sit somewhere in the middle. Other than that, outstanding show.

By far the best show we saw in Vegas. The water and acrobats was unbelievable! There isn’t a bad seat in the house for this show. The pool/​main stage sits at the bottom with 360 stadium style seating all around. This is a show I would see again.

I went during the week of Christmas when Las Vegas was relatively quiet, so I got a great seat even when I bought my ticket 2 hours before the show. That said, there’s really no bad seat in the house since it is a circular theater. Remember to grab a free program at the top of the stairs before you get to your seat — the pictures inside are stunning and much before than what you can get with your own camera.
The show itself was stunning! While the Cirque shows focus on acrobatics and have bizarre costumes, Le Reve is more like a musical in its dance sequences and costumes. I’ve seen almost every show on Broadway, and Le Reve ranks in my top 3 shows ever (the others are Book of Mormon and Phantom of the Opera). The synchronized swimming was easily visible no matter where you were, the ballroom dancing was wonderfully choreographed, and the acrobatics all had a wow factor. I think this was also fairly family friendly — there was one burlesqueish number that was a bit flirty, but still more conservative than half the stuff on tv these days.

Beautiful Cirque show at the Wynn. The theater is a circular seating arrangement so really no bad seat in the house. If you know anyone who lives in Vegas they usually have a locals discount where they just need to show ID to purchase the tickets. They have some last minute options or hotel packages as well. We stayed away from the splash zone which is the first couple rows. These seats are cheaper but read other reviews so stayed away although it did not appear that they got that wet. We were in awe of each performer, the acrobatics, the stage transformations, the fire, the water displays, even had a few comedic acts. everything was just entertaining.
The show is about 75 minutes long and the rows are pretty tight so once you are sitting down expect to sit for the entire show. The theater is pretty warm since they need to keep the performers comfortable so don’t need a jacket or coat or just be prepared to take it off.
Beautiful show!!!

What an amazingly awesome show! I’ve never seen a show done in water. I honestly don’t know how they keep their breath under water that long.
Le Reve is at the Wynn and it’s a water production. The front seats are cheaper than the higher seats. Why? Because you’re on the splash zone! So if you don’t mind getting a little splashed it’s all good!
The show was awesome. It was based on the girls dream and from what I interpreted– temptations and good vs bad urges. It was a good show! I loved it.
One thing we didn’t like was how hot and humid the venue was. I understand though, the water must be warm for the performers so they don’t freeze to death! I highly recommend this show!

This show is amazing! The best dance, acrobatics and performance I have ever see. I went to see the Penn&Teller the day before and it was so boring.
After see Le Reve, I and my wife were shocked. It was so beautiful and cool. I can’t stop Applauding!
I sit in the first show, the ticket was cheap because is was in the splash zone. But I didn’t get wet at all. And it was very close to the performers and dancer. I would definitely see the show again next time.
Highly recommend!

Amazing. This was my first real «Vegas» show, and we couldn’t have picked a better one. There are plenty of ways to buy tickets, including the last minute options, but we got them before we left NJ so we had it locked in.
We opted for the Splash Zone, and those, in my opinion, are the best seats possible — and they were, at the time of booking, some of the least expensive ones. By sitting close, we were able to get a close up view of the performers, as well as each element that made up the consistently changing stage. I was impressed by both the show itself as well as the mechanics behind it.
The story was cool, the show pretty fast paced, and the performances impressive. Just when you thought they couldn’t jump into the water from anywhere higher… you would be wrong.
Now that I’ve got this show under my belt, I definitely want to book another Cirque show next time we go to Vegas.

I received complimentary Le Reve tickets with my promotion package at Encore, but after seeing the show, I can say I would’ve gladly paid $ 150 per ticket — It was THAT good!
First and foremost, there’s not a bad seat in the house. Between the seating layout and the 360 rotating stage, you’ll be in for great view.
I’d never been to a water show and didn’t know what to expect, but I erroneously assumed I wouldn’t enjoy it as I had the other traditional acrobatic shows. Well, I assumed incorrectly. I’ve been to several Cirque du Soleil shows in the past, and I think Le Reve beats them all. This doesn’t take anything away from the previous shows (Ka, Kurios), it’s more of a statement on how jawdroppingly awesome Le Reve is!
From the moment it started, I’m fairly sure we sat with our mouths agape for the duration of the show. The stage transformations, the fire, the water displays, the dancers, and the swimmers: we are awestruck! I enjoyed the choreography and the music most of all.
If you’ve never seen Le Reve, you’ll want to be sure you add it to your «To-​Do» List.

Le Reve, which is french for the dream, makes you literally feel like you’re in a dream that you do not want to wake from.
As a huge fan of Cirque du soleil (seen KA, Zarkana, Love, Totem and Zumanity) I was excited for this show because it was created by the same director that made O and nothing Steve Wynn does is ever half hearted. First off, the theater is really small and intimate. Pretty much there are no bad seats in the house and we were satisfied with our 4^th row seats right next to the aisle.
The production is just fantastic! At first, I had no idea what to expect. I thought it was going to be synchronized swimming. Boy was I wrong, this show is a vertical delight with crazy aeriel acrobats and performers jumping from high up and diving down into the water. The stage set up is breath taking, it just rearranges itself every time. The performers were really into the act and who would have thought break dancing and ball room dancing on water would have such a dazzling effect. The live music keeps you ramped up and the energy never lets down. Even the comedians were great because they blended magic and comedy together. I am oftentimes disappointed in comedy in the Cirque shows so this was a breath of fresh air!
Overall, I would say this is in my top 3 Vegas shows alongside Love and Zumanity. Do not hesitate to watch this show, you will not be disappointed!

Awesome show! There really isn’t a bad seat in the house — the theater is «in the round.» However, I suggest sitting farther back, the closer seats are in the splash zone. There is also so much going on, sitting back a bit allows you to see it all.
If you’re willing to splurge, I really suggest sitting in the Champagne Circle. You have private seats, with a TV that shows behind the scenes and under water action. You also get a bottle if Perrier Jouet and a selection of chocolates, truffles and chocolate covered strawberries.
Le Reve is one of the best shows in town and definitely worth seeing. The performers are all incredibly talented and you won’t be disappointed!

We’ve seen some great shows in Vegas (KA, O, etc) but this one tops them all. Wow. It goes way beyond its label of being an «acrobatic show on water». It portrays an intimate and coherent storyline with great visuals and a display of pure strength. Furthermore, the constantly changing mechanical stage is just cool!
If you’re worried about seating, don’t, because there is no bad seat in the house. Your section # doesn’t matter either since it’s a circular dome where the stage is in the middle. Even the splash zones (rows A & B) aren’t that bad. The «splashes» are minor splashes, definitely not like Seaworld. As for having to crank your neck to see high, there weren’t that many sequences that goes super high and even when they do, it’s only for a few seconds. We sat in row E and it felt totally normal. One thing I do want to note is the humidity level. Dress appropriately and if you’re not used to humid environments, bring some cold water.
If you had to watch one show in Vegas, this would be it. My wife and I came to Vegas for our anniversary and this was a last-​minute splurge. So glad we decided to come! The show is expensive but it was totally worth the money. I don’t recommend bringing kids though. They probably won’t understand the plot and get cranky due to the humidity.

Un show à couper le soufflé !
Pour commencer, quelle que soit la place, vous avez une superbe vue sur la salle et le spectacle.
Ensuite, le spectacle. C’est juste magique ! De l’eau, des flammes, de cascades réalisées à la perfection par de grands acrobates, mais surtout une ambiance unique !
Je recommande ce spectacle chaudement, vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés.

I am such a huge fan of these Cirque De Soleil shows so I had to surprise my boyfriend with a show for Valentine’s Day *and the amazing girlfriend award goes to… ME!*
The Wynn theatre is very intimate so don’t fret about the seat you choose. The aquatic stage is circular so wherever you sit will have an amazing view. I chose the premium seating for $ 125 each (not including tax). My friend has sat in the splashzone area which is the closest to the water and the cheapest ($ 116). The storyline was a bit hard to follow at first and it started off pretty slowly but nothing a cocktail can’t fix. The visuals were awesome and the production was organized and heart-​stopping! I was low key scared some of the acrobats/​dancers were going to hurt themselves. It was a great vday watching La Reve.

I enjoyed the show but maybe this isn’t the thing for me. Personally, I like seeing acrobatics, stunts, big colorful displays etc. I also much more enjoy some sort of story to go along with it. I’m not a fan of just watching stuff happen for an hour and a half.
I suppose everything was a dream? After all, the show is called La Reve — The Dream. I just wanted more about the bad guy, or who was good, or what the hell might be happening at any point. There are points in the show that are awe inspiring just on what the performers are doing, so I don’t mind not having story there. But there are slower parts, so I wanted some connection.
I’ve seen other french inspired acrobatic shows (KA, O) and these shows have these points. KA has it (slight spoilers: the shadow puppet scene or the falling into water stuff) and O has slightly less potent stuff (slight spoilers: clowns on a house in the ocean). This show, you see the two protagonists and then… well…I guess that’s it? They have brief moments but it’s doesn’t inspire any emotion in me. Honestly, they were just dancing around. Maybe it’s just me.
The music is not as inspired as other shows. The music didn’t seem to fit at points and sometimes was honestly too loud.
If you sit in the first row, you will probably get wet. I got soaked at one point. The good side of sitting front row: the performers sometimes interact with you. Thought that was an interesting touch.
For me, the water stuff was cool. If you want to see people do more things in water than you thought could be done, this is an amazing show for you. If you wanted more substance than people doing tricks in water, this may not be for you.

Amazing! Simply the best and most unique show in Vegas I think. I love the amphitheatre style seating around a water stage. The staging and presentation is spectacular, and the performers are ridiculously amazing and skilled.
I would definitely recommend this show to anyone who’s visiting Vegas… it’s a must!

What I love about Le Reve is that the female acrobats featured in the show are on equal footing, talent wise, with the male acrobats. In most of the Vegas shows I’ve seen featuring acrobatic stunts, women are usually treated as adornments and don’t usually partake in any acrobatic feats. I tip my hat to the badass women of Le Reve.
Le Reve is NOT a Cirque show, but it definitely will appeal to the same crowd. It’s a little over an hour and 15 minutes and is based on a very loose plot revolving around love and a woman’s dream. Tickets are $ 100+, but there are discounts for locals, military, and AAA members.
PRO TIP: It’s not worth it to shell out the extra dough for upgraded seating options since the intimate sized 360 theater makes it impossible to have a bad seat. VIP seats are on the very top row, but in my opinion, the best seats in the house are the ones closest to the stage. On my most recent visit, I sat in the 3^rd row. I got splashed with specks of water maybe 2 times, but the viewing experience was unreal!
My favorite parts of the show were of course, the acrobatic feats. Performers dropped from insane heights and dropped into the pools below. Acrobats gracefully flew around and did Olympic worthy flips into the water. Some acts reminded me of God of War (because of the dramatic music and pale bald male performers — only gamers will understand this reference lol). I could have done without the Dancing with the Stars tidbits and synchronized swimming, though. Other favorites were a «firework» show, a fountain show that rivaled the Bellagio’s, and fires being lit on top of the water.
COOL FACT: Le Reve is one of the few shows that actually allows you to take photos during the show. No flash or recording though!
Worth a Return Visit?
Le Reve changes every six months so it’ll be a little different each time you go. I’ve seen Le Reve twice and noticed only minimal differences with the second showing. I can’t comment on the value of the tickets since I seen the show for free, so keep that in mind. Overall though, I think Le Reve is a great Vegas show.
Unilocal 100 CHALLENGE 2015: #104

C’est vraiment un show extraordinaire, pendant 1h30 environ ils vous ont mette plein les yeux. Éviter les places du 1er rang car c’est pas parce que vous serez au 1er Rang que vous verrez mieux le show bien au contraire et vous risqueriez d’être mouiller. Les danseurs et nageurs vous ferons fibres. J’ai particulièrement apprécié la natation synchronisée, encore bravo a toute l’équipe! Le cirque du soleil est une valeur sûre, vous êtes sûre de passer un bon moment.

So, let’s get a few things sorted out first. This show has been changed twice, totaling 3 different shows, my review is of the latest show. For the record, Le Rêve is NOT a Cirque du Soleil show. Let me repeat this, Le Rêve is NOT a Cirque du Soleil production. Yes Cirque currently has 7 productions in Las Vegas, but this is NOT one of them.
I feel a few too many people have had their hand in the artistic development of this production which is why it has become such a snore. Believe me, I tried… I tried to enjoy it, but it was lacking in many areas.
Shows such as these are indeed about the acts, but the details are what add to the character and enjoyment of such performance. For instance, in the current production, a guy and girl and seemingly on a date at the beginning. The guy kneels down and the girl turns around while he’s whisked off the stage. As the turns around, he’s gone. The acts and performances are what seem to be her thoughts during those critical moments of her being with him or not. At the end, when he’s brought back in, he is kneeling on the wrong knee! Such a subtle change ruins the flow and realness of the performance. I may be overly critical, but true artists know the vision of a production and ascertain such small details are solid.
As for the actual performances, most were decent and visually appealing, but there were issues with them. For instance, the dancers, although choreographed together, were not solid as a unit. Having one person slightly off can be undetected, but not 20−40% of the group. The synchronized swimming was one area this was noticeable, which by the way there were too many swimmers to make the act even look nice.
The other aspect of the performance is that there are small side-​acts taking place that are completely distracting for the main act. Cirque knows how to pull this off with many things going on, yet the audience knows where to look and when. I missed part of a breath-​taking high dive because I was looking at some actor doing headstands… Le Rêve completely misses this mark.
Having Dragone’s background and experience at Cirque du Soleil from 1985 to 1999 is what convinced me to see Le Rêve, but it seems as if Wynn himself has had too much of a hand in this show and has degraded what could be a great performance piece. Sadly, I wouldn’t recommend this show to anyone.
