Cirque du Soleil Las Vegas Tickets

Do you like performances by contortionists and dancers? Then among the things to see and do in Las Vegas, a Cirque du Soleil show should be your priority. The capital of entertainment made in USA hosts several productions.

As everyone knows, Las Vegas hosts some of the best night shows in the world, but few are as original as those offered by this company. In addition, you will have the advantage of being able to choose the theme that most appeals to you.

It is one of the longest-running shows in Las Vegas and takes place at the famous Bellagio. Here is a gigantic pool that is used for the acrobats' somersaults. Indeed, "O" is an aquatic show whose main character is Filemon (Guifà), a young man who finds himself lost in the world of "O".

During the journey, Filemon meets dozens of different characters and together they give life to choreographies of great impact. As they are performed in a swimming pool, the organization has to be perfect. For example, each performer has several identical costumes so that they can change after the dives into the water.

Despite this, you don't have to worry about splashes: the stage is far enough away from the stalls.

This long-running Cirque du Soleil production tells the story of two twins, a boy and a girl from royalty, who put all their efforts into reuniting after a series of vicissitudes. It all starts during a boat trip: at the beginning the atmosphere is relaxed but enemies are on the prowl...

The particularity of this show is its mix of traditional dances, Chinese theater, capoeira and martial arts. The exotic costumes and the enveloping soundtrack are an added incentive to buy a ticket to Cirque du Soleil.

By the way, if you visit Sin City for its entertainment offer, I recommend reading the post about the best shows at Planet Hollywood or the article that explains how the musical Thunder From Down Under works.

• Address: MGM Grand, S Las Vegas Boulevard 3799
• Price: from $90 (approx.)

A show capable of enchanting both Fab Four fans and everyone else. "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", "Lady Madonna" and other hits are accompanied by dances, 3D projections, attractions, videos and much more. The show came to Las Vegas on June 30, 2006 and has stayed ever since.

It is a sensory journey where everything is taken care of down to the smallest detail. To guarantee the best sound experience, the stage is surrounded by 6,000 speakers while the seating at the Mirage Hotel is a guarantee of comfort.

• Address: The Mirage, S Las Vegas Boulevard 3400
• Price: from $90 (approx.)

A show that animates the nights of the city since the nineties. In these long years it has been named eight times the "Best Production Show" by the Las Vegas Review Journal.

If the name is a bit cryptic, it is because it tells the story of the universe from beginning to end.

Although today it is a classic of the city, in the beginning it was not all roses. Back then, Cirque du Soleil wasn't what it is today and investors didn't seem to believe much in the show. Some 30 years later, it is safe to say that they were wrong.

• Address: Treasure Island, Las Vegas Boulevard S 3300
• Price: from $90 (approx.)

If you grew up with the songs of the King of Pop, you must necessarily make a stop at Mandala Bay. The show is divided into 22 acts, all perfectly choreographed. The story revolves around four characters and their vicissitudes. Of course, the moonwalk is a must.

The dancers wear typical MJ attire - white gloves, black shoes, Fedora hat and sunglasses - and perform classics such as "Wanna be startin' somethin'," "Smooth Criminal" and "Thriller."

According to many reviews from industry experts and enthusiasts, LOVE succeeds in transporting you back to the '80s by bringing to life the unique style of the Indiana pop star.

• Address: Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, Las Vegas Boulevard S 3950
• Price: starting at $90 (approx.)

It depends on the show. To be honest, Cirque du Soleil is pure art and children may not understand all the scenes. However, some shows tend to please children, especially if they have easy plots and colorful scenographies. "Corteo", "Kà" and "Luzia" are on this list although it could be longer.

If you don't think they would enjoy it, I recommend options like the Shark Reef Aquarium in Las Vegas, the wonderful candy store Hershey's Chocolate World or the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum.

Youdon't need to know Shakespeare's language to enjoy the shows. To use his own words, Cirque du Soleil's mission is to stimulate the imagination, provoke the senses and evoke emotions in people all over the world.

To export the same show to any corner of the planet, Guy Laliberté and his collaborators have invented Cirquish, a language that is the Esperanto of the circus world. Sometimes, the shows mix words and expressions from different languages, but don't worry, the lyrics are not the main thing.

It should be noted that in some productions - for example The Beatles LOVE or Michael Jackson ONE - English is used. Being tributes, they necessarily have to focus on the lyrics of the songs and in these cases it would be difficult to adopt Cirquish.

If you do not feel confident about your level of English, you can opt for activities where language is not essential: see sharks at the Shark Reef Aquarium, take a hop-on/hop-off bus tour, climb the Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas or other activities both in and around the city.

There is no specific dress code. The public can wear a wide variety of clothes. Note that other attractions may require a suit or at least a shirt.

This is not the case in the temples of gambling - in the best casinos in Las Vegas you can enter with no problem wearing jeans and a T-shirt - but it is the case in some restaurants. Be sure of this if you book a table for after the show.

Cirque du Soleil is a mix of dance, martial arts, visual effects and all the acrobatic skills you can imagine. It has nothing to do with traditional circuses: there are no animals but the greatest performers and acrobats.

Each show employs countless artists and therefore the organization has to be perfect. Harmoniously blending art, dance and song is not easy and requires constant training. Thanks to everyone's dedication, the original small venue on the outskirts of Montreal has become a billion dollar business.

If you came to Sin City for its shows, I recommend reading the article dedicated to the musical Thunder from Down Under or the post that explains in detail the best shows at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas.

It'sjust up to you. In the U.S. you usually eat early - around 6:00 p.m. - and if you don't feel like sitting at a table before the show, you can always opt for a 24-hour restaurant. The list below reveals the best options:

• Siegel's 1941, the elegant dining room at the El Cortez Hotel. Everything is delicious, especially the Reuben sandwich (with veal, sauerkraut and Swiss cheese) and the Fat Irish Green Corn Beef Hash (poached eggs and potato croquettes). Located at 600 Fremont Street
• Shokku Ramen, the must stop for manga lovers (and good food, clearly). Its walls are decorated with scenes from Japanese comics and its soups attract thousands of locals and tourists. To enjoy Japanese cuisine, just head for 3889 Spring Mountain Road.
• El Dorado Cantina, the temple of Mexican cuisine. To prepare its tasty burritos and grilled meats, it uses only organic and GMO-free ingredients. There are three restaurants in the city and the one that never closes is located at 3025 Sammy Davis Jr. Drive. On the official website you will find all the information you need.
• White Castle, the fast food chain specializing in mini-burgers. It is a cheap option in the middle of the famous Strip. You will find it at 3411 S Las Vegas Boulevard
