    Entertaining! But pricey

    by RN240 on 12/9/17Paris Theater - Las Vegas

    Shows in Vegas always have a special charm. They are done well and make them entertaining for crowds. Circus 1903 was no different. The "ringmaster" was hilarious and provided great audience participation during act transition. I always strive to get front row seats because I like to see the expressions on performer's faces and the enthusiasm with which they perform. The show itself is about 90 minutes long. There are several acts but the majority of the time it is the ringmaster interacting with the crowd. There were a couple of slip ups from the performers (falls/trips/bad timing) but mistakes happen and that is understood and forgiven. With that being said, my ticket was 120 dollars for being on the third row. There are various other shows in Vegas for the same price with more elaborate acts and colorful props. I recommend the show but I do wish the price was lower for the performance given.

    WOW-WOW-WOW

    by DrDra on 11/28/17Paris Theater - Las Vegas

    This show is an amazing family experience that is not to be missed. There is fun and jaw-dropping adventure for both adults and the little ones. The puppet elephants are unbelievable and truly spectacular. Our 6 year old absolutely loved it, and we did too!

    OUTSTANDING SHOW

    by oyveyfaye on 11/28/17Paris Theater - Las Vegas

    We saw Circus 1903 in Los Angeles and loved it. We took our Las Vegas grandchildren (ages 10 & 11) to the Paris production - it was just as good.

    Not for adults. Few good acts. Overpriced

    by CircusFan2017 on 11/22/17Paris Theater - Las Vegas

    The preview trailer for the show looks excellent, but the show itself was a big letdown for me. The production was really poorly done and felt very cheap. There are a couple of talented performers and the show, but overall the quality is below average, especially for Las Vegas. More than half of the show was audience participation with small children, which was wonderful for the parents but not so much for the rest of the audience. The "elephants" in the show are pretty laughable puppets. The costumes are not great. Overall the show under-delivers. The ticket pricing is way off. I'd say $30/$40 person would be a fair price for the show, bot $50-$130/person that they are charging. I'd say save your money and go see a good cirque show, or better yet, Le Reve

    Excellent Circus performers; cheesy Circus Master

    by AudienceCritic on 11/21/17Paris Theater - Las Vegas

    The circus performers in this show are very excellent at their craft and the stage is so close, you instinctively feel more tension with each trick. The troupe of acrobats that opens the show is terrific. Their music is enthralling and the choreography of the troupe is timed perfectly to it. The contortionist completely boggles the mind as she flexes in directions no human was meant to go. The juggler is really fun to watch and endearing with the audience. The man with the bicycle ballet provides a calming break before the high wire act, which does great tricks for the small amount of space available on the stage. The elephant puppets are amazing works of engineering and extremely well manipulated by the puppeteers. The movements are very natural looking. The Circus Master's role is designed to be very cheesy with a running patter that the children in the audience rarely understand but tickles the adults. However, on this night, his session on stage with four little children from the audience lasted way too long and killed the momentum of the show. The audience became quite subdued. So when the high wire act came out right after his piece, the audience offered very little applause to show appreciation of their performance. You could tell the performers energy level was affected. It made me sad that the audience had deserted them. They are very accomplished on the wire and really deserved much more applause. The venue is wonderful. There are no bad seats and the room is small enough to feel the energy coming from the performers on stage. I would advise the director and producers to cut down the time and lines given to the Circus Master a little and add another act. The website shows a knife-throwing act that never appeared. Maybe a short high-energy act with fast-paced music would reinvigorate the audience before the high wire act finale. Overall - it's a time to let your inner kid out to be amazed and have a good time.

    Circus 1903

    by Jimilyn on 11/15/17Paris Theater - Las Vegas

    A perfect family show on the Strip at the Paris Casino. The hilarious comedy and magic from the "Ringmaster" throughout the show truly added to the experience. Please be prepared to join the Ringmaster on stage as well. The Circus acts ranged from high-wire action, to balancing, juggling and bicycle stunts along with an amazing contortionist and teeter-totter high flyers. Young and old will enjoy the puppetry of the Circus Elephants too. Missed a 5 rating as it was only 1 hour and 20 minutes. We wanted more. Fun time for all!

    Terrible show. Don't go.

    by calinurse on 11/15/17Paris Theater - Las Vegas

    I was shocked at this amateurish low budget show. There were only 12-13 people in the show. A juggler wasn't able to complete a stunt after 3 attempts. It was awful. The fake elephants were well made and maneuvered by the employees. The small elephant's trunk was placed into a tub of ice cold water and then those of us in the front row were sprayed with the water. No advance notice and we were soaked. I couldn't believe this show exists as it is far below the standards of other LV shows. I had two guests with me and I was embarrassed for them as this is a horrible show. Don't go. Save your money.

    Spectacular! Kids & Adults Alike Loved it!

    by Vhandley on 11/8/17Paris Theater - Las Vegas

    A one of a kind show set in the early 20th century with multiple incredible acts which are brought together by a clever ring master who enjoys toying with his audience in humorous witty ways.

    Fun and exciting

    by Chuck576a on 11/7/17Las Vegas, NV

    I wasn't expecting a lot because the show was a 'family friendly' one. I was greatly surprised because the show brought the audience lot of laughter, plenty of applause and amazing entertainment. Circuses are disappearing all over the country and animal acts face constant opposition. This show brings the excitement of a real circus with amazing elephants no one will object to. The show brought the audience lots of laughter, plenty of applause and wonderful surprises. I would recommend this show to anyone, regardless of age. The only thing missing was the smell of sawdust and peanuts.

    Boring

    Little kids may enjoy but not for grownups. Not much content. During 1 1/2 hr you may enjoy 10-20 minutes

    Excellent show for the family!

    by Dogboy942 on 10/31/17Paris Theater - Las Vegas

    We went to Circus 1903 after seeing them perform on America's Got Talent. The show was even better than we had hoped. The talent of the performers was amazing and the show was very interactive. They do a great job of engaging the audience and getting numerous audience members involved in the show. My 10 year old daughter and 14 year old son loved it.

    Refreshing Alt-Vegas Experience

    by ElektrafinaSwings on 10/29/17Paris Theater - Las Vegas

    Nostalgic. Thrills for the child spirit of yesteryear. Throwback three-ringed appeal with modern innovation. The pinnacle being next scale puppetry that both emotes and amazes. Shame it's stadium presented. A proper tent setting would elevate the experience. Optional Sideshow might take things to even greater heights.

    Circus 1903 was a fun night out.

    by KaerukunZ on 10/29/17Paris Theater - Las Vegas

    This was a fun show, and is a great for families. Reminded me of the circus when I was a kid, the side shows, the acts. The ring master made it a lot of fun with his humorous antidotes. The elephant puppets were amazing to see.
