Show comparison
Which Cirque du Soleil show should you see in Las Vegas?
See “O” if you want the most spectacular night and the price is not the deciding factor. See KÀ if you want a story and staging on a colossal scale. See Mystère if you have young children with you or want classic Cirque for the lowest price of the three.
The practical details, side by side.

Later dates are on each show's page: “O” schedule, KÀ schedule, Mystère schedule.
Where they genuinely differ, and which we would pick on each count.
Our pick: “O”
“O” is built around water, and nothing else on the Strip looks like it. KÀ runs it close with moving platforms the size of a house. Mystère is the most traditional of the three — the wow comes from the performers rather than the machinery.
Our pick: KÀ
KÀ is the only one with a plot you can follow from start to finish. “O” and Mystère are sequences of scenes and acts tied together by mood rather than narrative.
Our pick: Mystère
Mystère is the easy choice with small children — it is the most playful and has the most forgiving age policy. KÀ suits older children who like adventure stories. “O” is beautiful but slower-paced, which can be a long sit for a five-year-old.
Find the description that sounds most like your group.
Synchronised swimmers, divers and aerialists perform in, on and above a stage that turns from solid floor to deep pool and back again.
Think twice if: you are watching the budget, or you want a clear story to follow.

An adventure about separated twins, told with martial arts, puppetry and giant moving platforms that tilt until the stage becomes a cliff face.
Think twice if: loud battle scenes, darkness and pyrotechnics would bother someone in your group.

The original Las Vegas Cirque du Soleil show — colourful, playful, big on strength and balance acts, with clowning that works for every age.
Think twice if: you are after cutting-edge staging; this is the traditional one, proudly.
