O Cirque du Soleil, Theater performance venue in Paradise, United States.
O Cirque du Soleil is a theater venue built around a 1.5-million-gallon pool where acrobats, synchronized swimmers, and aerial artists perform. The stage transforms between a dry platform and a flooded basin, with different sections able to shift quickly for scene changes.
The show debuted in 1998 and introduced a new form of entertainment to Las Vegas by using water as the main element of stage art. This approach became the template for how large-scale productions could reimagine theatrical space.
The theater blends classical opera house design with modern stagecraft built specifically for water and aerial performances. The space itself becomes part of the show, with its steep seating and central pool integrated into how audiences experience the spectacle.
The venue has 1,800 seats arranged in a steep configuration so every viewer gets a good sightline to the stage and water. Arriving early helps you explore the seating layout and find your preferred spot to watch from.
The pool accommodates 85 swimmers and divers who connect through an underwater communication system that allows them to coordinate movements beneath the surface. This technology lets performers execute intricate sequences without surfacing for cues.
