I may be in the minority, but as far as I'm concerned it is NOT worth it. None of it. Sure if your metric is a garden sprinkler it's an awesome show, but otherwise, no.

First: if you go to the wine country restaurant, do not order the steak unless you like it well done. The Rat ordered it medium rare and it came with NO pink. Apparently that was pretty standard. The woman at the table across from us sent hers back - and they sent the chef out to explain how that's the way it was supposed to be. Uh, no.

Second: even with the "priority seating" you have to stand forever. It says to come back at 7:30, but they let people in around 7, and they were lined up well before that. So, you're not really saving any time.

Third: if you're short, you can't see anything. Seriously. Everything is at ground level. The water screens are low, a lot of the fountain work is low, every thing is low low low.

Fourth: NO PLOT. It's just a bunch of movie clips strung together. It's like the water screen parts of Fantasmic without anything else. Would you wait all evening to see that? I sure wouldn't....

Fifth: Remember how they redid the San Francisco bathrooms to accommodate the WoC crowds? Well, that whole area is blocked off all evening, so that was pointless. The closest restrooms you're allowed to use are at Pacific Wharf, where there are like 8 stalls in the ladies room.

Were there elements that were nifty? Sure. Maybe there were more that I couldn't see. But I'm basically NEVER going to get to see them, because I'm not likely to get any taller. And what nifty-ness there was most certainly was NOT worth the hassle it takes to see it.

It basically looks like the Bellaggio fountains and the Fantasmic water screens had a love child. A slight amusement, but nothing I would insist that out-of-town company see. I'd take them to Fantasmic instead.
