O by Cirque du Soleil

About the Show

O has been running at the Bellagio since 1998 and is widely considered the pinnacle of Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas. The concept is deceptively simple: a 1.5-million-gallon pool that transforms into a stage, a lake, a frozen wasteland, and an infinite ocean — sometimes all in the same scene. Thirty-five elite athletes and acrobats perform above, on, and in the water in ways that routinely stop audiences cold.

The production design is unlike anything else on earth — described by critics as a living painting. The show doesn’t follow a traditional narrative; it’s structured like a dream, moving through vignettes of theater, acrobatics, synchronized swimming, aerial work, and fire. The O Theatre at Bellagio is purpose-built and every seat has a clear view of the pool.

Choose it when you want the single most visually spectacular show in Las Vegas. Skip it if you’re looking for a storyline, comedy, or a more budget-conscious option.
