Presented world wide it portrays a variation of acrobatic events to different themes.

Every Cirque du Soleil show is different and leaves the audience amazed.
Here is a brief synopsis of what you can expect: Mystere-Playing for over 16 years is a high energy acrobatic show that is whimsical, dramatic and full of imagination.
Mystere is playing at Treasure Island hotel.
"O"- A surreal, aquatic show featuring synchronized swimmers, aerial acrobatics, and theatrical romance Try and see an early show since it can put you into a relaxed mode.
"O" is featured at the Bellagio Hotel.
Zumanity-This adult based show has resulted in many mixed reviews.
It portrays sexual entertainment that might be too provocative for some.
It is very interactive and amusing but there is no storyline to follow and the acrobatics are not portrayed as greatly as some Cirque du Soleil shows.
If you are open minded and can admire the human body in this art form you should enjoy it.
Zumanity is featured at New York-New York hotel.
KA-This show focuses around a brother and sister who get separated in a War.
They go through many adventures along the way until they are finally reunited again.
If the lack of acrobatic performance disappoints you,be prepared to be amazed by the mechanics of the stage alone.
KA is featured at MGM Grand.
The Beatles-Love-Experience the celebration of the legendary Beatles in this creative performance of music, special effects and acrobatics.
This show is mostly comprised of music and costumes more than acrobatic ability.
This show is featured at Mirage.
Criss Angel-Believe-It really cannot be compared with Cirque du Soleil flair and must be focused on from a viewpoint of mystery and illusion that magic shows are known for.
You can see Criss Angel perform at the Luxor.
Viva Elvis-For Cirque du Soleil enthusiasts this show is more about a tribute to the life and music of Elvis Presley with dancing, singing and some acrobatics.
More like a musical.
It can be seen at Aria Resort and Casino.
People have a certain image of what they expect a Cirque du Soleil show to be, and some of the shows listed here might not live up to their expectations.
