The Skinny

"O" Las Vegas is like regular Cirque du Soleil, only wetter. The dancing and diving is innovative and beautiful to watch. "O" is probably the best Cirque du Soleil show in Las Vegas, and it is so popular the huge 1,800-seat theater is often completely sold out.

Features:

In "O" Cirque du Soleil does what it does best - it keeps us entertained and amazed with artsy-fartsy theatrics and shocking acrobatics all supported by awesome live music. This show specifically features water; its title evokes the French word for water "eau," and the stage is a giant pool! In true Cirque fashion, Cirque du Soleil's "O" does not have a plot so sit back and watch the characters explore the aquatic wonderland without trying to hard to understand what is going on.

What To Know:

Not only is "O" Cirque du Soleil one of the absolute most popular shows in Las Vegas, but it's also set at the Bellagio, one of the most popular hotels in Las Vegas - for the rich and famous, of course. We can't get enough of the high-class atmosphere that pervades this place - bring on the artsy entertainment and the expensive surroundings!

  • The Photos: What better way to remember a great night out than a photo op? But this is Cirque du Soleil's "O" Las Vegas so put away that point-and-click digital camera and set yourself up with the professional photographers in front of the show. It costs a pretty penny but the plush picture frame the Bellagio throws in makes it a steal, if spending money without a care is your kind of thing.
  • Behind the Scenes Magic: Starting in 2010 Cirque du Soleil's "O" Las Vegas started offering spiffy behind the scenes tours. For an extra fee, of course. After seeing the magic of the show, take a daytime tour to learn how all of the underwater lighting works, see the training rooms and even go up a catwalk to the sound and lighting booths! Just don't try to dive into the pool on your tour, security really doesn't like it. Trust us.
  • The Bellagio: It seems fairly simple, right? The Cirque show that revolves around water should be at the hotel famous for its giant water fountain. But other than that connection, the thing that ties "O" Cirque du Soleil most strongly to the Bellagio is the upscale vibe we get from both. The show is high art, the theater resembles a historical opera house, and trust us - you are going to pay big bucks if you eat at any of the fine dining options at the Bellagio.

Inside Knowledge:

For most Cirque du Soleil shows front row seats are some of the worst and sitting up high is your best bet. For Cirque du Soleil's "O" Las Vegas, the shape of the theater changes this a little bit. While it's still best not to sit right in the front - the first couple of rows are actually called "splash zones" - sitting in the far back will block some of the show. And above all it's most important to try and sit in the middle seats instead of the side seats if you want the best possible view.

Do's and Don'ts:

  • Do Make a Night of It: The Bellagio Las Vegas is one of the top hotels on the Strip. Since you're already dropping the cash on the show, you might as well make a night of it and enjoy a great dinner at Michael Mina or Prime Steakhouse. Oh and don't forget to check out the Bellagio Fountain show before going to Cirque du Soleil's "O," it's free and after seeing "O" any other water show just won't compare.
  • Do Bring the Kids: Cirque du Soeliel's "O" Las Vegas is one of the best Cirque shows for kids. The main character is a young boy who explores the aquatic world with wide-eyed wonder. And unlike other Cirque masterpieces, "O" tends to stay away from the more sensual, adult-themed choreography.
  • Don't Act Miserly: Every once in a while you can find Cirque du Soleil "O" show deals, especially if you find Bellagio Hotel promotions, but don't expect huge discounts. "O" Cirque du Soleil is popular and they know it and with frequently sold out shows they rarely offer tickets for less than full price.
  • Don't Expect a Plot: This show is not about a lovely story line, it is about surrealism, art, and how many innovative stunts they can get away with between the aerial trapeze acrobatics, olympic-level high diving and epic synchronized swimming. Cirque du Soleil's "O" does not fail to entertain, but it also does not pretend to be linear in any way.

Is it Worth It?

This show is anything but cheap but it's also one of the most popular Cirque shows in the world. It's your call, but we'd say it's got a proven reputation.

Cirque du Soleil's "O"

I heard so much about this show from my husband, I finally got to see it. An amazing performance is well worth the money. View out of the balcony was good enough for us- less expensive. The arobatics, the uniqueness of water stage, the music, etc. are incredible. What a beautiful show! "O" is by far the best.

Re: Cirque du Soleil's "O"

I saw the the "O" show about 6 years ago and it is still breathtaking! I would have preferred to see something new, but my girlfriend planned our whole trip. I will tell you that i am so glad i saw it again. There is no way to take in all that goes on while those acrobatic actors are on stage. I noticed more this time than last. I think the more Cirque du Soleil shows i watch the more i am able to take in at each show. The feeling in the theatre is very tranquil and soothing...it was worth the ticket price even the second time around.

Re: Cirque du Soleil's "O"

We finally saw "O" at The Bellagio and LOVED IT! I have now seen 4 Circque Shows in Vegas over the last year. I'm serious wehn I say this was the best show I have ever seen. I may be biased because I am a diver and love the water but the entire show is stunning from the live music, lighting, incredible backgrounds and props, awesome stage/pool, costumes, makeup, aerial acrobatics, etc.There was never a dull moment during this show that I wasn't tuned completely into it and I would absolutely pay full price to see it again! We did have seats pretty close to the stage but the theater didn't seem too big. Overall it was great and not only my husband and I loved it, but our teenagers did as well.Standing O at the end for this incredible Cirque du Soleil "O" Show!
