subject: Sin City, Cirque Du Soleil, Peanut Butter and Jelly by:Wilfredo Rivera [print this page] Las Vegas is truly Cirque du Soleil's home away from home. Sin City currently has numerous Cirque du Soleil shows including: The Beatles Love, Viva Elvis, K , Mystre, "O," Zumanity, and Criss Angel Believe. Each production plays at a different resort/casino and most are performed in a theatre specifically created just for Cirque.
Every night nearly 9,000 people in Las Vegas see a Cirque du Soleil show. That's five percent of the city's visitors.
Below are descriptions of each of the traditional Cirque du Soleil shows performing in Las Vegas including Le Rve, a Cirque-style show playing at the Wynn Hotel.
Love showing at The Mirage
All you Need is Love, Cirque du Soleil style. This celebration of The Beatles has over sixty international artists bringing the Fab Four's original master tapes to life. The show's "soundscape" was produced by Sir George Martin, the Beatles original producer, and his son Giles. Love, which debut in 2006, can trace its roots to the friendship between George Garrison and Cirque founder Guy Lalibert(c) .
Viva Elvis showing at Aria Resort
"Thank you, thank you very much" Cirque for bringing this show about Elvis to Las Vegas. Having just opened in December of 2009 at Citycenter's Aria Resort, Cirque du Soleil's Viva Elvis pays tribute to "The King's" life and music. The dazzling show is packed with "a hunk, a hunk of burning" dance, acrobatics, and cutting edge technology. Fans will be able to hear Elvis' greatest hits performed live.
K showing at MGM Grand
When it debuted in 2004, K was Cirque du Soleil's most expensive show with a price tag of over $220 million. The show, which revolves around a pair of twins trying to fulfill their destiny, contains Cirque's most linear and straight forward story. The breathtaking production draws inspiration from the martial arts and features Capoeira dance and harrowing acrobatics.
Mystre showing at Treasure Island
If you want the quintessential Cirque du Soleil experience then get yourself some tickets to see Mystre. This classic Cirque production features athleticism, acrobatics, and colorful costumes. Some of the acts you'll see in this show include Chinese piles, hand-to-hand balancing, and the aerial high bar. The first resident show in Las Vegas the dark and moody Mystre explores the origins of life.
"O" showing at O Theater Bellagio
"O" is the phonetic spelling for the French word for water, eau. Cirque's "O" takes place in, on, and above a 1.5 million-gallon tank of water. This truly magnificent production tells a surreal and romantic story through acrobats, synchronized swimmers, divers, and aerialists. Due to the demands of performing in water, "O's" costumes cost nearly $10,000 a piece.
Zumanity showing at New York-New York
While it sounds like a Saturday morning kids cartoon Zumanity is for adults only. Billed as "the sensual side of Cirque du Soleil," Zumanity is a cabaret-style show featuring bawdy humor, suggestive acrobatics, and raunchy dancing. Created by Dominic Champagne, the mature Zumanity explores human sexuality like only Cirque du Soleil can.
Le Rve showing at The Wynn Hotel
Le Rve, which means "The Dream" in French, is not a Cirque du Soleil show but it was created by Franco Dragone the man behind "O," Mystre, and several other Cirque productions. Le Rve takes place in a one million-gallon water tank and showcases diving feats and state-of-the-art special effects. There's no seat in the theater more than 40 feet from the stage.
