I have an opportunity to see the Michael Jackson Cirque show at either the Mandalay Bay concert venue or Staples Center in LA (where I live). Staples is such a huge venue; I've never seen a show at Mandalay and was wondering if it comparable or smaller. Where do you think would be a better choice?

I've only been to the Mandalay Bay Events Center for Barrett Jackson, which uses an end stage concert set up. I can only assume the MJ event will be the same. I "think" the Staples Center is much bigger, but I have never been there. One thing I remember specific about the seats that aren't on the floor is that the rows are kinda steep, so the person in front of you doesn't block the view with their head.

I was talking with a friend at work today and he said that he likes concerts at the Mandalay Bay Events Center MUCH MUCH better than at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

I'm glad to hear that about Mandalay. Thanks!
