If you’re not a gambler and you’re in Vegas, there’s a solid chance that you’re here for some of the renowned shows on the Strip. By the time you see the glittering lights Vegas is so known for, you’ve already been slapped in the face with billboards and signs for what seems like an endless array of shows. While narrowing down your entertainment can be daunting, the best place to start would most likely be a Cirque du Soleil show – might as well go big, since you definitely don’t want to go home. But which one to see? Well, we have you covered with a handy guide for the Vegas Cirque shows.

If you’re a music fan, starting off with The Beatles Love or Michael Jackson ONE would be right up your alley. Combining the over-the-top spectacular acrobatics with world-class musicians, both shows are the definition of ‘tribute’, and should not be missed.

More into plots? No problem, there’s KA and Zarkana. KA tells the tale of twins on their way to fulfill their destiny, and Zarkana follows a magician who’s on a quest to regain his powers and true love.

If you really just want to see some cool acrobatics, Mystere and O are right up your alley. O creates a new world with their 1.5 million gallon tank as the stage and the trapeze acts that hover above it, and Mystere will blow your mind with it’s unbelievable acrobatics and live musicians.

Last but definitely not least are the two shows that are the true embodiment of Vegas: Zumanity and Criss Angel’s Believe. Zumanity is a risque celebration of love and the human body, while Believe will make you wonder what is real and what isn’t with it’s magic.

Cirque du Soleil is the embodiment of Vegas performances, and is a great way to wet your feet in this vast array of shows, comedy acts, and concerts. Of course, picking just one might be a little hard…
