For a total sensory experience, the next time you're in Las Vegas see Cirque Du Soleil's Mystère. We went to a 10:45 p.m. showing of this critically acclaimed performance honored eight times as "Best Production Show" by the Las Vegas Review-Journal and despite the late hour we weren't disappointed.
The performance features artistic athleticism performed by champion-caliber acrobats, a primitive rhythm driven by exclusive live music, and a kaleidoscope of vibrant colors exhibited in costumes, lighting and set design. The cast is comprised of an international troupe of 72 acrobats, aerialists, dancers, musicians and comedians who will astound you with their talent.

Among the many amazing feats in constant motion you will see an exhibition of strength as two brothers perform a hand-and-body balancing act on a rotating sphere, the daring aerial high-bar flyers flying and spinning 40 feet above the stage, seesawing on the Korean plank, a gravity-defying ballet performed with the aerial cube, effortless maneuvering between and up and down Chinese poles, breathtaking falls from trapezes halted by bungee chords that sling their wearers high above the stage, and Taiko.
A fantasy come alive awaits you at Mystère where the mystery of life is explored through incredible artistry and indescribable imagination.
