80 Reviews for Le Reve
So after dinner (at Bartolotta) we make our way through the Wynn's casino floor to the Le Reve Theatre. We skip the line and walk up to the VIP counter. I HIGHLY recommend springing on VIP seats. You get to bypass the line and enjoy a wonderful view on the top row as you sit in an extra-large seat sipping Perrier-Jouet Champagne and strawberries with your own personal attendant! A melodic tune floats gently though the air as the audience takes their seats. The theatre fills and then the lights dim. The show beings! Le Reve, The Dream, takes you on a haunting journey that's funny, sexy, scary and wondrous. Franco Dragone has outdone himself with this water-themed show in the style and spirit of Cirque du Soleil!
I saved my 300th review for Le Reve.
Simply amazing.
The best Cirque show I've seen so far. Best seating. Best concept. Best everything.
I had no idea what the hell was going on at certain points.. and my mouth was open the entire time. I saw things that I didn't think people could do unless they were truly crazy.
It was beautiful. an impossible dream come to life. Well worth the money spent. I can't wait to see it again.

Things have changed for Le Reve since I saw the show almost two years ago. And my 3 star review has gone up to a 3.5 star rating...so we'll round up to a 4.
The seating tiers have changed, which I think make better sense now than before. There's more of a dancing theme with more dramatics, which is a good thing. There's a lot of head bobbing at this performance, don't ask me why.
The circular stage is fantastic and is fabulous idea, so how can you not love it? The best part for me - the three female dancers on the huge sphere. So well choreographed and so fluid! That's what you call a performance!
Look out for the guy with the boobs!

With the start of this review, I should mention that I absolutely love "O" of the Cirque du Soleil… Read more »
If you like watching the diving competitions in the Olympics, but wish they'd dispose of the tediuous one minute wait between dives, this is the show for you. It's basically 75 minutes of all possible permutations of male and female acrobatic diving from various platforms, with brief interludes to allow male strength display and a nonsensical plot. And it has one hell of a sound system, which almost makes up for the lack of live music.
Is it a good show? Sure. The performers, in addition to being flawless physical specimens of the human race, are all incredibly gifted and maintained stunningly perfect stage presence throughout. But we tired fairly quickly from watching what is essentially one act in a Cirque du Soleil show drawn out to last 75 minutes. I found myself spending more time thinking about how they could ever pay for and operate the massive mobile underwater set than I did being impressed with the show.
And then I remembered: our tickets were $141 apiece after all the fees. That's how. Is this worth it in a city that offers five cirque du soleil shows for a better price? Of course not. And the proof is in the numbers: it seemed that fully one quarter of the seats were empty in the performance we attended. At the same time, no good seats were left for the cirque shows when I booked.
But hey, if you haven't seen cirque du soleil and you think paying more gets you more, then this is a five star show.

Awesome show. My friend took my other friend and I there for our birthdays. Simply amazing. We had seats kind of close to the front. Although we missed the first 10 minutes or so I definitely would recommend this as a must see show in Vegas. I think I wanted to take of the performers home. All of the them were amazing.

(Waterworld + Step Up 2 The Streets + S&M Porn + the Gillette Mach3) x a healthy dose of acid = Le Reve
The set is absolutely incredible, I do not dispute that. They do some pretty incredible things in that tight theater and there is nothing like it in Vegas. I was impressed enough to try and find info on how they run the production online after seeing it.
That being said, the show itself is "eh". It is dramatic and weird and all things Vegas but I just didn't care enough and after a while all the bald dudes in unitards, synchronized swimmers in white wigs, and tuxedoed angels just didn't do it for me.
I LOVE CIRQUE DU SOLEIL PRODUCTIONS!!! And shows like it :o)
I know this show isn't officially a cirque du soleil production but i was created by an ex cirque du soleil affiliate. This show was great the first time i saw it but eeehhh the second time i saw it. People try to compare it to O at Bellagio but there's no comparison there. O is a phenomenal show.
Back to Le Reve, it is a dark and twisted show and from what i've read in articles is that the original concept was for it to be a nightmare not a dream. Mrs. Wynn didn't like the show as a nightmare and Mr. Wynn changed it. But in any case as far as the acrobatic point of view it was great. It's a circular arena so you can't really get a bad seat.
Simply Amazing.....definitely worth the money and this is coming from someone who doesn't like to pay big bucks for shows, concerts, etc.
We got awesome seats in the 3rd row. I think it was the perfect location. First row people kinda get some water sprayed on them (I saw one boy having to wipe his glasses a few times). Also, I think the VIP seating area isn't worth it. It's all the way in the back and I'm assuming you can't see as much detail.
I would recommend this show to anyone going to Vegas.

Wow! WHAT A Waste of money. They should change the name from Le Reve to Le Boring. This was a complete knock off and wannabe of the show "O" cirque d soleil. Yes I know the same creator of that show. I watched pretty much every show in Vegas except for the shit hole ones you find in old Las Vegas. This show might as well been in the Stratosphere. I mean give me a break $100 per ticket I am glad that I got the cheap seats, that were in front row where you get wet from the water. If the water didn't splash on me I would have slept through the whole show. Same oh crap people swinging around doing flips and stunts. I have seen this a dozen times before. I am very dissapointed in Steve Wynn. I would have thought that he would have a better show in his fabulous Casino. I would rather take my money and play Casino War with it instead of spending it on a boring boring show. Maybe thats why he put this show in his Casino, so that everyone who leaves the show when its done will gamble, and try to win their money back after they wasted it on this show.

I saw this show 2 years ago. There's been much discussion regarding how the show was conceived (Dragone's rehearsals in Belgium) as opposed to the final product, which Steve Wynn tried to put in a happy place. All in all, entertaining and some spectactular water effects. But compared to Dragone's masterpiece over at Bellagio, it falls a little short.
This was the very first show I have ever seen in Vegas, and I loved it. The performers are so talented and have amazing abilities, and I was very impressed with the water stage set-up. I never thought these little shows could be so spectacular!
Must check this out!!! This show will takes you to abstract dream. Three thumbs up! Actress and actors of Le-reve work so hard, and practice often, doing their best ! Japanese people will like this type of show! Thanks to FRANCO DRAGON!!! & MANY THANKS TO Mr.Wynn! Go see for yourself! You won't regret! Mitekudasai!

The best analogy I can make is that it is like looking at a beautiful painting. It is beautiful to look at and you analyze and pick at it but after awhile you're sort of bored and your mind drifts and you start looking at the time, then you become antsy and want to leave.
Le Reve is just that. There are no thrills, hardly any flash and the comedy is mediocre. However, the show is very beautiful to watch. If compared to any of the Cirque du Soleil shows, Corteo would be the most similar in it's beauty.

"Le Reve: A small collection of imperfect dreams" was a perfect dream for me, Jessica and Nicole during our first night in Vegas. It was a spectacular aquatic-acrobatic performance that took our breaths away. We had the pleasure of being treated to tickets to the show by Nicole's amazing cousin, who had seen Le Reve 7 times before. If he'd seen it 7 times, we were certain the show would be phenomenal. Indeed it was.
As we arrived at the theater inside Wynn, I was really surprised to see what an intimate venue it was, and with the round aqua stage set in the center, there was no bad seat in the house. The first row was incredibly close to the 1 million gallon pool, but although the guests sitting there had a fantastic view, they were at risk of being splashed throughout the performance. Those sitting in the VIP section had monitors screening backstage/underwater footage during the show, which is really cool.
I won't reveal too much about the show (you'll have to go see it for yourself!), only that the sets were really amazing, and it's easy to see how the show is one of the most expensive ever produced. I could also see how many would mistaken this as being a Cirque du Soleil show, because the creator was the former creative director at Cirque - as the creative dramatic & comedic storyline, haunting music score, intricate choreography, and incredibly talented performers with beautifully sculpted bodies are all indicative of Cirque shows. Unfortunately, I've never seen "O," but I hear that they are both wonderful in their own ways.
I thought the length of the show was just right, and there was never a dull moment. I mean, how could there be? This is, after all, Vegas, baby!!

Le Reve is a show that seems to be open to interpretation as the story is about a girl who goes through various dreams of some sort. The acrobatics are amazing. It's a refreshing twist to the common Cirque shows thanks to the water and awesome seating arrangements. You are pretty much guaranteed a great view from any angle of the theater. Overall, I was entertained through out the show and didn't nod off once!

I was blown away by La Reve -- Steve Winn's version of Cirque du Soleil. It was nothing short of spectacular! The water elements were truly amazing. I couldn't believe the acrobatics, the heights, the dancing, the antics. I was also surprised by the depth of emotion I felt too. It was so abstract, yet so emo.
I do wonder about the guy with the man boobs though... can anyone enlighten me? Still contemplating that one.

It was cool. Surely for the couples or the older crowd. All seats are great seats so go for the cheap tickets because you can enjoy the arial acts more from higher up.
Nothing original here. Lucky- i had free tix, but no real storyline. I think the set is impressive but the show is can make you yawn. But you are asking a person who has seen 10 different cirque shows.
Not bad- but nothing great. Definitely save your money.
for $100 bucks, this is what you get:
* wet bodies
* wet bodies all over each other
* wet bodies doing freakin'crazyass acrobatic, bendy positions you wish for in your fantasies
* wet bodies going up what seems like 200 ft. in the air, then plunging straight down into the pool of water right in front of you
* yea, you get a little sprinkle here and there sitting in the first row, but did i mention that you get a first class view of wet ass hard bodies?
*sigh* the best $100 spent EVER.

This was the most amazing thing I have ever seen! At some parts I felt like I was stuck in one of Goya's greatest nightmares - and I loved it.
Every once in a while (for filler) they added some awful salsa/disco dance routine (think bad choreography featuring Fez from That 70's show). I actually felt embarrassed for the dancers... but that's OK because everything else was so amazing, that the show still deserves 5 stars.
The women there have insane muscles. I kept looking for Captain Winky , but couldn't find him. I still have my doubts about some of them.
If you are going... here are my tips on where to sit.
- The first row is a "splash zone", and your face will be in that dry ice fog stuff for the first 20 minutes of the show
- The aisles next to the performer stairs are creepy - there are dancers dressed as devils jumping over the rails at you
- The rows are LONG... so try to get next to stairs (not the performer stairs). The last row in the theater is 31 seats across. That's a lot of people that need to stand up if somebody in the middle needs to use the restroom!

i just received a reply from the wynn today. almost a month later.
while i appreciate at least getting a response and the offer for free admission to blush, it's pretty pointless since:
- i've already paid for it so it's not really free, and it doesn't come anywhere close to compensating us for the disappointment and frustration experienced by me and my friends.
- this letter doesn't exactly convince me that anything was actually done or even necessarily communicated.
i definitely still won't go back to wynn. ever.

Le Reve = acrobatics + water + crazy stage + crazy visuals + storyline
Le Reve means "The Dream", which is a painting by Picasso. When you are watching the show, you are basically captured inside a dream. The cheaper tickets sit closer to the stage. The more expensive tickets are seated further back. The reason for this is because the further seats have a better viewpoint to capture the entire picture of the show. Because there's so much stuff going on at once, you won't be able to see everything if you sit up close. The theater is quite small so the setting is intimate and every seat should have a great view. This show is simply amazing and very very entertaining. Go see for yourself the next time you're in vegas!
Performance: 4.5 stars
Seat/View: 5 stars
Price: 4.25 stars
We got the 25% off tickets from Tickets2nite on Thursday and went to see the show the same night. We sat in the front row which is the "splash zone". At first, we were worried that we would get wet, but it was fine. All we got was some very minor water drops. The view was great because nothing blocked us and we could see the whole performance very close and comfortably.
The performance itself was awesome! Great act, great costumes, great skills, great dives, great design and usage of the space and the stage! Some acts were amusing and eye-dropping: one man hanging up-side-down on another man's shoulder without holding hands. You have to see it to believe it.
Great show and I highly recommend it!

I had wanted to go to this show last year, but it was sold out. "La Reve" is a creation of Franco Dragone, who also produced Celine Dion's "A New Day" concert that's been running for years at Caesar's Palace and is now closed. I went to that show 2 years despite the fact that I cannot stand Celine. AHAHAHA...
I knew it was going to be much more than a concert, and it was - it was absolutely amazing. So my expectation for "La Reve" was high and we weren't disappointed!
Like Cirque du Soleil's "O", "La Reve" is a water-based performance. Whereas "O" has its stage at the front of the theater, "La Reve" has its focal point in the center of an auditorium, and all seats surround it. It is such an intimate experience show as they state on their website. There's not a bad seat in the house. As the sets are wildly complicated -- the floors rise, the ceiling opens, and people (and doves) are flying all over the place. There are also huge video screens lining the uppermost part of the theater walls, which add to the effect of each act in the show. Reminded me of Celine's Show!
With "La Reve," besides the fact that it is always cool to see people flying around in the sky and then dropping from really high above your head into a gaping pool, I also liked that it had somewhat of a comprehensible story line. Do I care, what story when you were watching all that going on on the stage & off stage?
"La Reve" means "the dream" in French, and sure enough, the show started off with a couple ending a date, the woman went off to bed... and then a whole bunch of freaky people showed up and she was immersed in her dream for the rest of the time.
The best moment of all was when the guy dropped down from 150 ft high to the water... My mom was almost fainted.. hahaha... I shouldn't laugh, but her jaw was dropped & as if she couldn't believe what just happened. That's just sum it up how magical the show was for my parents.
I still think "O" is more impressive I've seen in Vegas, but I wouldn't necessarily say that it was better. The strange thing about going to "La Reve" was that only about half the theater was full, and it was a Saturday night?!? I've NEVER seen a not-full theater for any show I've been to in Vegas. They might need to lower the prices???
The first 4 rows are the "splash zone," so bring your umbrella!

Good show!!! It's an amazing show! It's all performed in a pool of water... kinda like Cirque Du Soleil's "O".
People are flying through the air doing acrobatic stunts, women sychronized swimming in the water, people coming from the water and the sky.... it's a lot of action going on!! It was definitely entertaining, and we got to sit in the splash zone - first row!!! Mind you, you WILL get wet if you are sitting in the front row, hence "splash zone"...
The whole time I was wondering to myself "how do they do that????"... it's like the people are under water the whole time or something (even though I know they're not)... but I couldn't figure out how they were popping out from the water...
The people are definitely talented, skilled, and FIT!
It's magical!!!!
If you only see one show in Las Vegas, this is it. Beautiful, powerful, graceful - I've seen it twice and was blown away even more the second time.

I'll never get over the show in previews.. .Having just felt like I had recovered -- or was at least healing - from losing our child -- 7.5 months stillborn, I went to Le Reve in previews.
And out of the blue, there was a scene with obviously "pregnant" women jumping (simulating suicide? - still not sure) jumping off a big heap of something -- dead babies? into the water --
I thought I was going to die on the spot -- hysteria --then I realized the crying was coming from me... ran out.
Then Steve Wynn personally hurt us so badly.

Best show that I've seen in Vegas. Spectacular performance, unbelievable acrobatics.
And the best of all, it's reasonably priced.
Get the dinner/show package so you can also enjoy a 3 course prix-fixe meal at one of many delicious and highly acclaimed restaurants in The Wynn Hotel at a discounted price.
I know this isn't a CduS show, but it was produced by an ex-CduS employee (I believe), and I will compare it to the CduS shows I've been to. It was way better than Zumanity, but not as good as O or KA. I was really hoping it would be like O with the water elements. I like the stage layout, but there was nothing spectacular.

Located in the Wynn hotel (my favorite!)
We were lucky enough to score awesome tickets to Le Reve through the discount tickets counter. The theatre is great, and there is not a bad seat in the house. The first two rows are "splash" rows, so they tend to be a little cheaper. We sat a row behind the splash rows, and I only felt a little bit of splash.
The best part of the show, the amazing dives! Since the show was a water show, I was so amazed at their ability to hold on to each other without slipping!
Truly an amazing show. If you like Cirque to Soleil, you will like Le Reve.
This is the first Cirque show I have seen since the age of ten. My father took me with my horrid stepmother to see Mystere before Treasure Island became the over-sexed pirate hooker-friendly TI. Memories of that evening are corroded by her constant bitching, so lets consider this my FIRST Cirque show ever. I was given free tickets for my birthday and this really excited me since the idea of seeing Eastern European package invokes very realistic dreaming of the most depraved sort. Upon arrival, I realized there is definitely no bad seat in the house. There are special seats for people with too much money in the very back where you are served champagne on ice. Honestly, I dont believe this kind of indulgence would be worth the money considering every single show in Vegas only runs 90 minutes at the maximum (Union vote?)...
I had no idea what to expect. All I can see is a bed, mysteriously floating in a cloud of dry ice... I figure if a bed is taking center stage, this show must be erotic. The "man tree" (as I like to call it) was too much for my imagination. Many times throughout the night all I could think of was "It's raining men", as these hardbodies shot down from the ceiling faster than sleet in the Midwest. There is so much symbolism in this show (French influence?) but I think for many it is quite easy to miss.
The show is erotic in a way. I am disappointed that Le Reve is only 90 minutes; I understand they cut out a sequence where a woman comes dressed out as all the men and through some dance reminiscent of goddess worship, they praise her perfectly toned, muscular form. There are some new scenes, but alot of the comedy is completely cut (no more harassing the audience) as well as some other things. I understand that the nudity was taken out because too many people complained but I can't state that factually.
**(The prudishness I read in regard to the human body being exposed in artistic shows just amazes me. People who visit Vegas seem to be too prude or too perverted to appreciate naked, muscular Europeans who are much more physically talented than 99.9% of us.)
I can't assert that the music was my favorite but I truly enjoy seeing the beauty of extremely flexible human beings. I will give this show 4 stars because the performers are very talented. Since I usually dont see shows on the Strip, I have little to compare to.

NEGATIVES -
Too many dudes in speedos prancing around in the water. I was expecting more chicks doing sexy numbers. definitely not the place for a bachelor party.
PROS:
No bad seats. so save your money and sit in the back.
Very artistic.
More of a place to take your girl or your mom.

It was done beautifully, but the show wasn't as flashy as other Cirque show's I've seen. It seems to be the red headed step child of Dragone. For the price of the tickets (yay military) I would definitely choose to see Ka. The acrobatic feats were impressive but the show is definitely on the mellow side. Costume and all the acts melded beautifully.

So this guy leaves Circue du Soleil and creates a show on his own at the Wynn. As with all similar shows the music, sets, costumes, performers are outstanding and meld together a magical theme. In this case the story is not linear since it depicts a dream for the main character who is female.
The show follows the character as one dream melds and flows with another. All of which takes place in a circular theater with a very large pool of water (with multiple sets that rise up out of it-similar to the Cirque O show) in the middle.
Visually this is an absolutely stunning show! Large screens projecting images, fantastically high ceiling (I still can't believe a guy jumped from there all the way down into that small pool of water) and creating the mood with a great lighting create wonderful atmosphere throughout. However, if you like a good story you may walk away a bit disappointed. Being a very visual person (see my yelp title) I thought it was well worth seeing. A visual smrgsbord.

I didn't know what to expect but it's hard to describe how unique and captivating Le Reve really is. The performers pull it off so flawlessly that you forget how complicated, dangerous and exhausting the show must be as you sip down on Champagne. It seems that wherever you sit in this circular theater would afford an excellent view, and after the show I think everyone's reaction is the same: "Wow."

The Girl and I took a short trip to Vegas to unwind and we capped a night of dining at nearby Alex with the Le Reve show. For a Friday night, it was surprisingly not filled to capacity. Le Reve is visually stunning in terms of lights, water formations (man did I have to pee), and costumes. It has the same vacillation from slapstick comedy to gravitas as you'd expect from a Cirque show like Kooza.
We got the VIP package where we sat in the top back row, had a server give us chocolate covered (limit 4, boo) strawberries and champagne, and got to look at a TV screen that showed live "behind the scenes" footage, like what was going on underwater.
It's an expensive show and a bit short (70 minutes) hence the 4 stars. For the money, O or Kooza give more bang for the buck. But in a mega-arid place like Las Vegas, you get a nice skin treatment with all the moisture in the air.
Definitely worth seeing, but don't expect tons of acrobatics like a normal Cirque show. Save your money and sit in the regular seats. There are no obstructions to the stage (see my pictures). They do not allow flash photography at all and frown upon any photography. They were OK with taking pictures before the show started, but I managed to sneak a few shots during the show until the usher caught me and admonished me for my tomfoolery.

Le Reve was a beautifully choreographed experience with olympic quality swimmers and acrobats performing on a moving watery stage. Four funny men come out at the beginning and at opportune breaks in the show to allow for costume and set changes, lightening the mood. The free fall dives and strength of the acrobats was amazing.
Premium seats offer an awesome view at a more reasonable price. The show has a lot of performing up in the sky as well, so the farther back you sit, your scope of view will be larger. A 9:30pm showtime on a Sunday released us with plenty of time to get dinner before, and time afterwards to see the strip.
