Cirque du Soleil: A Must See in Vegas Since 1993
There are currently six unique Cirque du Soleil shows in Las Vegas: Kà, Mad Apple, Michael Jackson: One, Mystère, O, and The Beatles: Love In addition to the awe-inspiring contemporary circus showcases, those looking to elevate the experience even further can get the VIP treatment with backstage tours and meet and greet opportunities.
The innovative entertainment company made its Las Vegas debut in 1992. The Nouvelle Expérience enjoyed a yearlong residency at the Mirage Hotel. While the show, featuring extremely talented Las Vegas performers, took place under a traditional big top, it quickly gained a reputation for transforming the classic style of circus into an enthrallingly modern, stylish, acrobatic razzle-dazzle.
In fact, the Nouvelle Expérience was such a hit that a theater was built specifically for Cirque du Soleil at the Treasure Island Hotel in 1993. Mirage resorts signed the astonishing production to a 10-year contract to perform the riveting, over-the-top spectacular Mystère. Today it’s still in demand at Treasure Island and is considered by many to be one of the best shows in Vegas. What makes it so endearing and enduring?
According to Cirque du Soleil, Mystère is “a jaunty, music-stuffed adventure bright with color, athleticism, and bubbly buddies.” The humorous show pokes fun at the lighter side of life through wild stunts and laugh-out-loud gags, which makes it the perfect choice for couples looking for a fun date night activity.
Whether you’re a fan of the Fab Four or not, The Beatles: Love is all you need if you’re looking for last minute tickets in Las Vegas. “The show is the closest anyone can get to being in the studio with the band,” said music director Giles Martin. He’s the son of The Beatles’ music producer Sir George Martin who, since the summer of 1963, played an integral role in creating the sound that made John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison the most famous band in the world.
The Beatles: Love is the ultimate love letter to rock ’n’ roll and one of the most romantic shows on the Las Vegas strip. Unlock the magic inside the Mirage at the custom-made theater, where the intriguing show wows with incredible, technologically advanced acrobatic acts, colorful costumes, and captivating choreography. The three-time Grammy-winning show will keep you on the edge of your seat with its talented cast of world-class aerialists and acrobats.
