Cirque Du Soleil Las Vegas Shows

We will start this list with one of the most popular entertainment companies in Las Vegas, Cirque Du Soleil.

In 1984, Cirque du Doleil was an entertainment group composed of 20 street performers, but has since rapidly grown into a world-renowned entertainment group producing shows in 60 countries.

If this is your first time in Las Vegas, we would recommend you book a show with Cirque Du Soleil as a starting point. This is definitely one of the most popular and very best things to do in Las Vegas.

Trust us, you will not be disappointed.

When we first visited Vegas in 2019, we immediately booked in to see ‘O’ and we have also seen Mystère. But we are on a mission to see all of the Cirque Du Soleil shows as we return to Las Vegas over the next few years.

There are currently 6 Cirque Du Soleil shows in Vegas:

7 Tips About Las Vegas Shows

Hopefully we have talked you into booking a Las Vegas show and if so, here are a few tips to keep in mind.

  1. If you plan to find parking before the show, give yourself plenty of time to park. A good rule of thumb is at least 30 minutes before the show. Keep in mind you will also have to walk through the venue and find the correct theater.
  2. Check your tickets to see if there are any pre-show acts. In this case, you may want to arrive even earlier before the show starts.
  3. Many of the shows on this list do not have an intermission so be sure to use the restroom before the show.
  4. Bring a jacket or sweater because most theaters crank the air conditioning. If you are someone who always gets cold, a sweater is a must so you can stay comfortable.
  5. Some shows offer add ons or package deals. These can be a great way to meet your favorite act or score some great deals after the show.
  6. Understand the seating arrangements on your tickets. If you have assigned seats, you don’t have much to worry about but if your tickets are general admission, your seats will be first-come first-serve. The early bird will get the worm here.
  7. Print or download your tickets to your phone prior to the show to avoid picking up tickets at Will Call. If you have to go to Will Call, be sure to bring a form of ID.
