Show Description:
The Bellagio seems to have a thing
for water. From the giant
fountains outside to the 1.5 million gallon tank inside
the O theatre, it seems just a matter of time before the
entire casino is underwater. The Las Vegas Show
O continues with his theme - taking theater to a whole
new extreme.
Otherworldly. Ethereal.
Intense. These are the words thrown around when
describing the O show in
Las Vegas. The second of the Cirque De Soleil
shows to hit the strip (after Mystere),
the Bellagio Las Vegas O show is still legendary throughout
the city for its stunning production values and unique
atmosphere. Despite its distinctive setting, the
O show is Las Vegas might be the most traditional of the
Cirque De Soleil shows. While the underwater aspect
adds a certain mystique to the show, its reliance on acrobats
and ballet leave the Las Vegas O show the closest to a
true “circus” than Zumanity
Las Vegas or KA Las Vegas.
There are even clowns before the show, setting the stage
for the O show in Las Vegas with a variety of silly water-related
antics.
It all begins with an innocuous stranger
being pulled out of the audience. Turns out he’s
a performer, a stand-in for the real audience, as he is
transported into a fantastical aquatic world, where acrobats
and divers dress like something out of a Salvador Dali
dream and perform feats that boggle the mind. The
Las Vegas show O continues on is this direction for an
hour and 45 minutes – boats appear in the pool,
surrounded by synchronized swimmers, fire jugglers show
up on the “shore” and divers throw themselves
around with little regard for their own health.
Which is one of the reasons the O show in Las Vegas continues
to be one of the Las Vegas
Strip’s best selling shows – even though
it may have been eclipsed in many ways by the always progressive
Cirque De Soleil productions, the immense stage and intricate
choreography of the Bellagio Las Vegas O show make it
one of the city’s most unique experiences.
Shows run twice a day, Wednesdays through Sundays, at both 7:30pm and 10:30pm.

Show Biography:
The Las Vegas show O followed in the footsteps of Mystere, proving that the popularity of the Cirque De Soleil company was no fluke.
