O by Cirque du Soleil: A Symphony of Water
"O" at Bellagio is an aquatic verse that has been performing since 1998 and still draws full houses. The giant 1.5-million-gallon pool becomes a stage upon which performers execute synchronized swimming and aerial stunts, where circus and theater are lost in the mix. The 85-member cast troupe of retired Olympians plays out in a 1,800-seat theater to a live soundtrack on instruments as exotic as the Chinese erhu, filling the air with a hypnotic atmosphere.

By the way, since the production is actually located inside the Bellagio casino, where the theater is adjacent to slot machines, it's a great idea to come in and check out the casino while you're here. Or, if you have other hunger for excitement of this type but cannot make it to the production, you can play the best online casino games from home.
KÀ by Cirque du Soleil: An Epic Tale Unfolds
KÀ at MGM Grand is a fairy tale of two difficult brothers who were lost amid war in a fairy tale kingdom. It has been remade even more outrageously with even more pyrotechnics and battle recreation on a revolving stage that is set vertically, creating the illusion of a "wall" upon which the action takes place. Twenty country dancers and acrobats blend wushu grace, acrobatics, and storytelling theatrics and transport the audience on a journey of adventure and valor.
● Duration: 90 minutes, evening shows several times a week;

Michael Jackson ONE: A Tribute to a Legend
Performed at Mandalay Bay casino, the production is in tribute to the King of Pop, as 25 of his songs, from "Thriller" to "Billie Jean," are performed in a circus environment.

The Lion King: A Savannah Adventure
