Cirque du Soleil Las Vegas Performers

Cirque Du Soleil (sometimes misspelled "Cirque De Soleil") literally translated means Circus of the Sun. Backed by the deep pockets of the Las Vegas entertainment industry, this groundbreaking group of performers is transforming the American stage.

The Chicago Tribune quoted Daniel LaMarre, the Cirque's president and chief operating officer: "Forget about London and New York from now on... No place other than Vegas has 40 million visitors a year who come and want to see at least two shows." And those two shows are often part of the Cirque du Soleil Las Vegas family.

What to Expect From Cirque du Soleil Las Vegas Shows

The Cirque du Soleil Las Vegas shows are not all like the ones you may have seen on tour or on television. Each creation is new, unique and different. There are similarities, to be sure. You'll recognize the attention to beauty, detail and customer comfort, but Cirque du Soleil Las Vegas shows can design theaters specially for each show, creating unique staging and a special environment that starts the moment you enter the doors.
