We had a real treat one night earlier this week. My husband Dave’s cousin has been working on the crew of the Viva Elvis show by Cirque du Soleil at the new Aria Hotel in Las Vegas for about a year now. He invited us to go see the show.
Well, Vegas being Vegas, we totally miscalculated the time it would take to get from the Las Vegas Convention Center to the Aria, and we booked a 7PM show. We broke from booth set-up about 6PM and still had to make a quick change before heading to the show. Since we had monorail tickets, and the mini-map showed CityCenter (where Aria is located) right off the monorail near the Bally’s stop, we decided to go with the monorail.
What a mistake that was! It took a full hour and a half to get from one place to the other–the Aria is at the far rear of CityCenter–about ten blocks’ walk from the monorail stop. And that is Las Vegas blocks, some of which are through casinos, others are up and over a maze of bridges. So after a long trek and eleven blisters, we finally made it to the show. It was an hour past show start and it only runs about 90 minutes. The will call folks were gracious enough to offer to re-book us to another show on another night and even got us great seats for our efforts.
We returned Tuesday night for the 9:30PM show, and WOW–what a show that was! They really did a good job of it, and it was neat how they had live music but left Elvis’s singing to original recordings with large screen video showing his movie clips or a slide show of events in his life (no Elvis impersonators). It really felt like you were seeing him in a show.
After the show, Dave’s cousin took us backstage and showed us all the intricate operations. Talk about a beehive of logistics. If you have ever seen a Cirque show and marveled at what you saw on-stage, you should see all the ‘magic’ that has to happen off-stage to make it all happen! It’s like all the logistics of NASA crammed into 90 minutes in an 8-story tin can! The density of people, electronics, mechanics, and everything is as impressive as the show itself. We were so proud of Dave’s cousin and his crew to be able to repeatedly present this spectacular show night after night.
I even caught a red silk scarf at the show! It was so good, it makes you fall in love with Elvis all over again.
