Everywhere you go, you bump into a Cirque Du Soleil show in Vegas, and it’s no wonder. Since the franchise settled in Vegas back in 1993 with Mystère, they have been growing their roster to now include eight shows. And you know what? From Criss Angel’s larger-than-life and magical experience to the musical genius of Michael Jackson and the Beatles, from the imaginative costumes and amazing acrobatics of O and KA to the highly eroticized Zumanity; whichever show you go to, you won’t regret it.

Want to know what dreams are made of? Le Rêve means “The Dream” in French and offers an amazing combination of synchronized swimmers, aerial and gymnastic acts in a round theater with an aquatic center stage. The audience is close to the stage and performers are all around, coming from every single direction, enhancing the feeling of being in a dream. And if it seems like another Cirque Du Soleil, that’s because one of their directors, Franco Dragone, set the show. What makes it different is the fact that every six months the show is re-choreographed to keep it interesting, making it one of the best shows in Vegas.
