Cirque Du Soleil - KA

KA at the MGM Grand is the Cirque Du Soleil show that makes you forget what's physically possible. If you've seen other Cirque shows and thought "that was cool," KA is the one that'll have you gripping your armrest with your mouth open for ninety straight minutes.

This isn't your typical Cirque production with clowns and contortionists doing pretty things. KA is a full-on martial arts epic with a storyline, battle scenes, and a stage that literally rotates vertically - as in, performers are fighting on a platform that goes from horizontal to completely upright. The first time it happens, the entire audience gasps. Every single time.

The theater itself cost $165 million to build, and you can tell. The stage technology is unlike anything else in Vegas. Performers fly through the air, battle on moving platforms, and disappear into trap doors while fire shoots from the edges. It's theater, circus, action movie, and fever dream all at once.

Here's the thing: KA is the most physical of all the Cirque shows, and the performers are legitimately elite athletes. The synchronized combat sequences are choreographed to the inch, and the aerial work happens at heights that would make most people's palms sweat just watching.

If you're in Vegas and you can only see one show, KA is the move. It's at the MGM Grand, so you're right on the strip. Grab dinner at Joel Robuchon beforehand if you want to go all out, or hit the food court if you'd rather save your money for the tables afterward.
