Anyone seen Criss Angel's "Believe" in Vegas? Update: Gentlemen's Clubs
I'm going in 2 weeks and want to see a Cirque show. When I went in 2008 I saw Mystére in Treasure Island and thought it was really awesome. Another one I think I would like to see is Ka.
Anyways, as I was looking at different Cirque shows I saw this Criss Angel one. I've read a bunch of reviews about it and have seen both ends of the spectrum; people saying it's one of the greatest shows they've ever seen and people saying it's crap, a waste of money, and some that even walked out halfway through.
Has anyone here seen Believe? I've seen David Copperfield before and I though it was crappy, very phony, and it left me with an empty feeling leaving the show. I'd rather not spend $65 US for the cheapest seat to go to a mediocre or crappy show.
Any input is welcome.

Criss Angel is a ######bag.
That's all I have to add.

My bro just came back from vegas, said the cirque show was unbelievable.
As per Criss Angel, I've heard nothing but terrible things about his shows.
On the other hand, I've heard nothing but good things about Carrot Top's show, surprisingly.

Do you know which show he saw? I think Ka sounds really awesome as it has a martial arts theme and they use a vertical stage:

Last time I was in Vegas we saw him at a burlesque (in the crowd, not the main attraction lol) and he was really nice to people, letting them take pictures with them and stuff.
Then we saw him later as we were wandering around and again he was nice to someone who came up to him.
And man is he SHORT.

Do yourself a favour, ditch the Criss Angel idea and go see 'O' at the Bellagio.

Ka is AMAZING!!! I would highly recommend it. We sat like 5th row or something and it was definitely worth it.
I also saw O and loved it. But not as much as Ka.
As for Criss Angel, I've only heard negative reviews of his show but I haven't seen it personally.

I've heard it's not a very good Cirque show and it's also not a very good magic show.
I have not seen it, but I've heard no good reviews for it.

Criss Angel, is a huge tool.
That being said, I was in Vegas this weekend and saw KA for the second time (first was about 3 years ago), and it was still amazing.
I was with 8 other dudes, 3 had seen '0' and they said 'KA' was better.
One of the dudes had actually seen Criss Angel's show, and he said it was not nearly as good as 'KA'.
So in short, go see 'KA', and make sure you get your tickets from a 'Tickets For Tonight' booth, you'll save ~$40/seat.

Criss Angel is more fake than Heidi Montag + Paris Hilton + Kim Kardashian combined.

seriously go to "O" or "Ka" -- simply incredible. While Believe was literally a piece of crap. I can't "Believe" that show is still going.

He was at the bellagio about 2 weeks ago. Said there were a bunch of people diving into a water tank which had scuba divers etc in them. if that helps. he's not online, I'll ask tonight though.
He said the issue was some loud couple behind them constantly yellin "WOW! OH MY GOD!!!! THATS AMAZING!@! OH MY GOD!!! DID YOU SEE THAT!!! OH GOD! WOW!!"
For the entire show. Said it almost ruined it.

I was in Vegas at the end of January and had free tickets to his show. Not worth it. I would definitely go watch another Cirque show.

I'd probably go see the Criss Angel show myself, but that's just me.
Though, his shows get quite alot of bad reviews.

Local Vegas papers call it the worst show on the strip.
