In the early 1980s, Guy Laliberte and Gilles Ste-Croix established a troupe of street performers in a small area within the Saint-Michel area. Their works would eventually operate under Cirque du Soleil, aka Circus of the Sun.
The Canadian troupe would eventually expand beyond their borders, becoming an internationally known performance group as well as one of the biggest contemporary producers of circuses.
Now offering some of the best things to do in Las Vegas, the troupe at Cirque du Soleil can be found in six shows with the most affordable and accessible last-minute tickets Las Vegas has to offer.

Best Musical Performance – Michael Jackson’s ONE
There are musicians, and then there is the King of Pop. Cirque du Soleil presents Michael Jackson’s ONE in celebration of the performer’s life and career.
