My kids love everything about Pandas. So when we heard about a Panda show in Vegas, we had to see it. 

We didn’t really know what to expect other than cute, wholesome entertainment with cuddly Pandas. 

We enjoyed the cute and cuddly Pandas, but the show was about much more. 

Important note: The show seems to be dark now. I can't find any recent information about it.

The show is basically another big production variety performance in Vegas, with acrobats, jugglers, dancers, and drummers. The ambiance and the latest special effects technology set it apart from similar shows.

The show was retired in 2014.

The story is set in China and stars a Panda named Long-Long. He falls in love with a Peacock, and just before they get married, she gets kidnapped by some demons. Long-Long spends the rest of the show learning from the masters to gain strength and liberate his fiancé. 

The theater is large and nicely decorated to reflect Chinese culture and hints of Panda habitat. As you wait for the show to start, you will hear the sounds of nature and peaceful oriental music. The curtains look like a bamboo forest, which enhances the ambiance.  

I loved the fast-changing props and the movie-quality active backgrounds. Moving scenes from China’s various regions are projected behind the performers and become part of the act. Those active backgrounds, lighting, and sound effects will transport you to another time and place.

Some of my favorite acts are the air dancers suspended from ropes, the monks with the pint-sized performer who looked like a little boy, the terracotta soldiers, and the traditional Chinese dancers. 

Before the show, we waited in the lobby, which has a good gift shop and a well-stocked bar. On the wall opposite the entrance, you will see large stuffed pandas hidden behind bamboo. This is a good spot for pictures. You can also spot some of the Panda actors walking around and posing for pictures.
