Vegas show trip advice needed

So I am going to Vegas next week and I have found there are lots of authorized discount tickets sellers.  I'm most interested in getting tickets for MJ One and Beatles Love Cirque shows.  Is there an official discount ticket venue similar to TKTS that I should know about, and is it likely that I will be able to get tickets for a discount?  Any advice or other recommendations of what to do would be helpful.

I found that site, among many others just like it.  One of the reviews said they give you a voucher to get your tickets at the theater and I also read the wait can be very long.  Do you know that this is the official "TKTS" type booth?  Do you have recommendations on when to get in line?  Like TKTS, can some shows be added later in the day?  Thanks.

 

Edit:  I see now that the site has a lot of verified locations.  Any recommendation on where to go to have the least wait?

I went to one of them.  It was attached to like an M&M store or something.  Got VIP tickets to Rita Rudner, one of the few women comics I always wanted to see but never did.  I felt bad paying half price for VIP, cuz we got signed books and a meet and greet and Rita addressed me from the stage.  I think it was a voucher thing and it was all on the up and up.  Just make sure it's one of the official tix4tonight places and you'll be set.  Nice deal on Love.

 

If you can spring full price I cannot recommend O enough.  A real feat of imagination on an unlimited budget. It's worth it for the curtain alone.

I saw O the first time I was there.  It was magical.  I also saw Michael Jackson One and plan to go to that again, to bring my cousin, along with the Beatles Love for the first time and I have tickets for Britney already.

Believe there was a discount outlet at the Fashion Mall, There may be others

 

O is something that has to be seen to be believed. It is the best of the Circque shows with Love a close 2nd.The Elvis show was  good but it did not have an appreciable shelf life.

John, Both shows you mentioned are on tix4tonight quite often.  Yes, it is the equivalent of TKTS booth.I have never used them but since I am going to Vegas in June I have done alot of research.  Most of what they give you are vouchers.  From what I read, the earlier you go to the theater box office to exchange your ticket the better the seat you are given.  From what I have read, you really don't know what seats you bought until the exchange is made.  Both shows are doing their own promotions so it may be just as easy to get your tickets through their own site.  I have already purchased tickets to O which is never discounted and the ticket person from the theater was very helpful.  I also already purchased Le Reve which is discounted at times 20% on tix4tonight but I purchased the cheaper splash zone seats which with fees were around $110.  I believe when the shows are up for 40-50% it is off the top price and still be close to $120 or more with fees.  Also tix4tonight has multiple locations on the strip.  It may be best to go to maybe the CircusCircus/SlotsofFun location.  I don't know how crowded they get.  If you still decide to use them on a Vegas site for coupons/discounts there is a tix4tonight coupon that saves you a couple of dollars.

Le Reve and Love were my favorites and I liked both of them much more than O.

The location by the Golden Nugget  never has a big line.

I didn't even think about there being a TKTS equivalent the last time I was there. I got the Splash Zone seats for O as well but on the day of, with a discount by picking up a gambling card and not even putting money on it.  The box office cashier told me to do that when I asked about any discounts. I was in the front row all the way to the right and we did not get wet and could see everything perfectly.    I liked One more than O, but also I saw O for free last time so I could have been slightly biased.   Do you think I should consider replacing a second visit to MJ One with La Reve? I would have to pay full price for that tho?

We used them to see KA. Not a terribly long wait to get our tickets. If I remember correctly we went to a booth near our hotel, The Venetian. We got great seats.

John, If you go to Le Reve website you can save $20 if you buy your ticket 30 days in advance.  It is only on one price level, though.   You may want to look into Absinthe.  I have read several reviews and majority are positive.  I was planning to see it but my tickets costs would have been close to $500.  I am going to see Zombie Burlesque in its place.  With groupon and additional percentage that ticket will only be $27 vs the over $100 for Absinthe.  My ticket representative for O told me before I pick up my ticket I should pick up their gambling card also.  She stated if there is a discount, even though I bought my ticket, they would give me the discount.
