LE REVE

LE REVE...WATER SPECTACULAR AT THE WYNN FRIDAYS THRU TUESDAYS !

WOW ! ! !

I had not seen this show in years and with constant tinkering, editing and progressive effort to improve...this could be a new show each night !

Two negatives...5 minutes late and a pole climber was dressed in black on a black pole...he could have been easier to see if dressed in white ! Two shows in January at the WYNN and they were both late. It seemed so odd that they would commit tens of millions of dollars to this, and not start on time. It ran 73 minutes !

OK

Le Reve on Tuesday late could have stood alone as the best show in Las Vegas. Interesting to me that the show we saw was the tenth of a ten show sequence, and it's talent and production were flawless. I love timing, production and creativity and it all overflowed on this show. At the finale a performer threw my wife a pink carnation...6 days later it sits next to my desk as I write this in its singular beauty indicative of the overall read on this performance.

After a run of ten shows....every performer and technician perfectly on cue...and this no minor effort with infinite aerials, waterfalls coming and going, and perfect timing to the music by all the performers...absolutely sensational. How about hitting a music cue coming from under water ? The Arts so lovely here in their creativity and technical form. Perfect team effort by all concerned. Cirque stamp on this but not over-splashed sensationally, taking the creative arts work to a new level, flying performers in and out of the ceiling just super wonderful ! Many times when I see something good I ask myself what can they do to make it harder and more difficult....LE REVE provides the answer !

It's a water show in the round, lovely seating, 3 runways or waterways to the stage, like the 3 ring circus, truly too much to see all at once, and this done in full speed with brilliant continuity.

Lighting perfect, costumes many and perfect, dozens of swimmers and divers and fliers and all working as if Steve Wynn himself was in the audience looking for flaws !

THERE WEREN'T ANY !

WHAT A SHOW, SECOND TO NONE, RECOMMENDED TO THE WORLD...some promotions available at discount prices, dark Wednesdays and Thursdays. The beauty of my job is to see, review and compare and I can't remember my last visit but it could not have been as good as this. It will be interesting on my next visit to compare whatever it is to this, because I will remember this show.

The technical artistry of the aerials and moving of the water are masterpieces.

I score all shows by number grade and letter grade compared to the greatest thing ever on any stage Sammy Davis Jr.

Thusly 5 minutes late makes this an A 95....could have been over a 100 if they started on time. 702 770 9966
