This was a very unprofessional acrobatics show filled with multiple mistakes in practically every act. I'm not sure if the acrobats were just having a bad day or this is standard for them, but the level of professionalism was not there to justify nearly $30 per person.

In the act where the male acrobats jump through a series of stacked rings, one of them knocked the rings over twice and looked like he hadn't practiced nearly enough. In the act where the lead female acrobat balanced an umbrella on her feet, she dropped it near the end and tried to play it off as if it was on purpose. In the act where the lead female acrobat was twirling circular pieces of cloth on her feet and hands, she dropped one and had to pick it up, and one of the other female acrobats on stage with her also dropped one as well. In the act where the lead female acrobat climbs on the other females, she failed to get into her pose and instead she fell and was thankfully safely caught. In the act where two male acrobats were portraying martial arts, the one with the spear sliced the other one's eyelid, causing the whole show to be shortened by about 15 minutes (the injured man will be fine, there was no permanent damage to his eye, but he was unable to continue the show).

After the show ended, there were no attempts of compensation for the audience even though we didn't get to see some of the acts due to the injury. I didn't mind the show had to be shortened since a man had been injured and needed treatment, which I fully understand, but that doesn't excuse the Riviera from not trying to find a way to make up for the lost show time.

I do not recommend this show at all based on my personal experience, although as I said earlier, the acrobats may just have been having a very bad day and perhaps their other performances were much better.

The show was ok. It's perfect for young and mature audience. I kind of expected just a bit more from it just because it's Vegas. But yeah, I don't think I would recommend any of my friends to watch it.

We enjoyed the event it was amazing, but think twice about going since the seating was awful. If you get the first row seating then you are OK but we had the fifth row and we had to keep looking over the shoulder of the person in front of us.

The show was really nice. Very entertaining. The dance portion was nice, the acrobatics was amazing and the martial arts could have been better. It felt like filler, I was waiting for something exciting to happen but didn't. Overall the show was entertaining and worth the cost.
