My wife and I have seen 15 Cirque du soleil shows (Vegas, Orlando, Europe) and we loved each of them. But while the Cirque were great, Matsuri was incredible! The Cirque is filled with acrobatic movement surrounding a story or theatrical performance but MATSURI is 100% non-stop high energy acrobatic and very athletic movements. At times you find yourself in... More

We've seen the show 3 times and it always entertains. The first time we saw it, the performers didn't speak English and I spoke through an interpretter to let them know how much I appreciated their talents. Most of them speak English now. I just wish they would make a DVD so that I could share this excellent show with... More

We bought out tickets for Matsuri from Tix4Tonight at about $16 a piece for general seating. Not bad for a 70 minute show in Vegas. You may normally think general seating isn't worth it, but in this show, no matter where you sit - you have an AWESOME view of the whole stage. The show was AWESOME! All the acts... More

I took advice of the traveler review before mine and bought tickets through Travelzoo website and they were only $22 for VIP. Regular tickets through travelzoo are $16.50. Where else in Vegas can you find good entertainment at such a low price? I wouldn't get VIP next time because it's the front row and as another reviewer noted that at... More

We paid $16.50 (with fees, maybe $19) per ticket through a Travelzoo promo so I wasn't expecting a whole lot. My daughters have been asking to see this show as they are gymnasts and other friends have also seen the show. I'm glad we went -- it was truly AMAZING!! It's not a Cirque show or a musical, but more... More

The Matsuri show at the Imperial Palace was wonderful. It's at 4pm with an extra show on Fridays. The show is about an hour long. When the show was over, I was tired. Don't get me wrong, not a bad tire but a good tired. There was non stop action for the whole hour. There were people doing martial arts,... More

We were so happy to see this show, with magic tricks, floor dances, acrobatic stunts, humor and inspiration from Japan/ China without paying a fortune. This group of young athletes from Japan work very hard and provided our family and kids a fun afternoon away from the heat. The stage is small so seating is good from all areas. Best... More

We got buy one, get one free tickets from the Las Vegas Advisor coupon book and went to the show because of the positive reviews here. The show was really cool and the amount of energy that the performers have was amazing. The Imperial Palace is kind of icky, so I don't recommend going early or staying afterwards.

We went to see this show after cirque and lion king. It is by no way upto those standards. The act is very novice. The performers did some very good acts but the act lacked the finnesse.
