Meet Cirque du Soleil

Cirque du Soleil is a name that has become synonymous with live circus entertainment throughout the city of Las Vegas, but its origins are from a little further up north. Cirque du Soleil, meaning Circus of the Son, was established on the side streets of Baie-Saint-Paul by a group of street performers, jugglers, and stilt walkers. Finding unique fame throughout Canada, Cirque du Soleil would expand its offerings by establishing a permanent fixture in Las Vegas.

Now, decades later, Cirque du Soleil offers Las Vegas the best last-minute tickets for various performances.

1. KA at MGM Grand – The first performance we suggest checking out is for KA at the MGM Grand.

KA is an affordable and captivating performance showcasing what Cirque du Soleil has to offer. Tickets start at just $69.
2. Mad Apple at New York New York – If KA is all about spectacle, then Mad Apple is all about accurately portraying the gritty details of New York’s eccentric nightlife. Mad Apple is a raucous live and semi-improvized show that invites audience engagement during the show with drinks to flow before and after. Better for older audiences, Mad Apple is a performance you will want to attend.
3. Blue Man Group at Luxor Hotel – Fit for the whole family and fantastic due to its lack of dialogue, the Blue Man Group is a Vegas mainstay you owe yourself to check out. Live shows are always different, with eccentric improvisation at the heart of this musical spectacle.
4. Mystere at Treasure Island – The longest-running show on the Cirque du Soleil slate, Mystere is a fun, and adventurous tale fit for the whole family. While notably scaled back in production compared to some other shows on our list, Mystere is a fantastic act fit for the family.
