Put in with the "Ka is the best" category as well. While it has a few slow moments due to transitions between the technical elements, those tech elements are MINDBLOWING. The music is good, the costumes are good, and it's the rare time that the plot line of the show is VERY clear and easy to follow.
Of the others I have seen, I REALLY loved LOVE. And this is from a person that is not a big Beatles fan. It fully embraces the theme and runs with it to make it into a psychedelic wonderland for the senses. Highly recommend it as the second best I have seen out there.
ONE is....... well if you like MJ you might like it? I didn't hate it but it just doesn't feel like a Cirque show. It focuses a LOT on dance, which is appopirate for a show based on MJ but it therefore lacks the specticle of the others. I will admit though that it's got the best pre-show gimmick of any Cirque I have ever seen.

The traditional "clown" act is performers playing paparazzi that hound and chase patrons around the lobby and the theatre with camera and then some photos they take end up projected onto the show curtain with outrageous tabloid headlines. It's VERY well in theme with the life and controversies of MJ.
I know a lot of people that praise Mystere but by far it is my LEAST favorite Cirque show. Not just in Vegas but over all. I just could not enjoy it. That damn snail. WHAT IS UP WITH THAT SNAIL!?
I have not seen any of the others but I have heard poor things about Zumanity more then good and O I have been told is VERY overrated.

Ive seen all the Cirque shows in Vegas in 2 years.
My order:
1. Le Reve: The Dream @ Wynn (not Cirque but its the best show in Vegas)
2. O @ Bellagio (I literally cried cause how amazing it was)
3. Mystere @ Treasure Island (this is Cirques longest running Vegas show. I had super low expectations but wow was I wrong. This show was PHENOMENAL)
4. KA @ MGM (yes its a spectacle but its kind of boring at times. I sat in the 3rd row center maybe If I sat further away, Id like it more)
5. Michael Jackson One @ Mandalay (I only saw this cause it was the last Curque show I havent seen.. soooo fricken GOOD, best projections Ive ever seen in a show)
6. The Beatles Love @ Mirage (I think you needa love The Beatles music cause I didnt like it at all)
7. Zumanity @ New York New York (this is a waste of money.. just random acts, no story, no plot, and not enough "sexy" for Vegas like they promote)
There's a new Cirque show called R.U.N. @ Luxor I needa go see it.

No you don't. RUN is awful. I mean so bad, I would encourage you to turn down free tickets if offered. It is a shame to have Cirque du Soleil's name on it.
Beyond that, I agreed with your post except I would rank Love higher than MJ.
Also if we're including Le Reve, Absinthe should be added to the ranking.
Thanks,
Doug

R.U.N. was the worst show I saw last year, out of about 75 shows I saw in 2 trips to Vegas, as well as trips to NY, Chicago, Seattle, & at home in Vancouver.
Instead of a circus show thry tried to put together an action movie stunt show, with the highlight supposed to he some motorcycle stunts. But they have a terrible, ultra violent, mob torture/ execution section in the middle (and it is only a 75 minute show), with freakshow performer elements that had people walking out.
Tripadvisor has a lot of really bad reviews from people expecting classic Cirque, and being totally grossed out & disgusted.
Also the plot is dumb, they use music from the band Twenty One Pilots, the choreography is terrible - like some bad 80's white kids doing hip hop movie. Then the finale of the motorcycle stunts just ends up boring.
The only positive reviews on Tripadvisor seem to be a raft of fake reviews Cirque started trying to get put up to counter all the bad ones. But they get taken down by Tripadvisor prettty quickly.
It is a shame, because they spent a lot of money renovating at Luxor, and when you walk through the whole entry to the theatre it all looks really cool.
