The Skinny
In KA Las Vegas Cirque du Soleil tries its first ever production with a plot. The story starts with two twins that are separated at birth and have to follow very different life paths to eventually try to achieve enlightenment through the spirit KA. What this means for us is a circus show with an Asian twist that doesn't leave us scratching our heads in artistic confusion.

Quick Facts
- Cirque du Soleil's KA is one of the most popular Cirque du Soleil shows, mostly because unlike the other Cirque show it has a linear plot that even the Average Joe can follow.
- Over one-million art-adoring fans have seen KA Las Vegas since it opened in 2005. Of course, we wouldn't expect anything less from Cirque du Soleil.
- KA Cirque du Soleil Las Vegas combines puppetry, pyrotechnics, video images, audio and, of course, crazy acrobatics to tell the story - ideal for anyone who gets bored easily.

Features:
While it's the latest and most advanced Cirque show, KA Las Vegas is still a Cirque show and how much you like it depends entirely on how much you like their well-known style of sort-of-pretentious artsy stuff. This show might just make non-believers change their mind though, since KA actually has a plot for once. See all of the expected jaw-dropping stunts Cirque du Soleil is known for with a little less artistic license to be confusing.
What To Know:
In KA Las Vegas the expensive folks at Cirque do Soleil put their acrobatic circus touch on "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" with a martial arts-themed show about two Asian siblings who choose paths of good and evil. Simple, obvious story, but you're really there for the physical feats of daring that the performers execute in KA Cirque du Soleil Las Vegas.
- The Stage: Cirque du Soleil's KA prides itself on defying gravity and even though they do it in a very Buzz Lightyear "falling in style" way, the stages in KA Las Vegas are actually pretty cool. One of the multiple floating stages is even a giant rotating sand cliff - it's epic.
- Live Musicians: All of the music in Cirque du Soleil's KA is produced by live musicians and even if they aren't visible during the show, it's pretty neat to recognize the level of coordination the performers have to have for it all to fit together so well.
- Choreography: The dancing and martial arts choreography in KA make it the kind of show that you can drag those action-movie-only types to go see. The KA Las Vegas choreography is an intense mix of acrobatics, Wushu, Chinese opera, poi and Capoeira.
Inside Knowledge:
Casino Boy loves that you can often get Cirque du Soleil KA show deals that knock the prices down to an actually affordable level. Check out the green "book now" button to see if you can find Cheapo favorites for the dates you're going to be in town!
Do's and Don'ts:
- Do Sit Up High: Front row seats are not the best at this show. Unless you enjoy a sore neck from craning to see the aerial stunts, the middle and upper seating at Cirque du Soleil's KA are the way to go.
- Do Bring the Kids: Cirque du Soleil's KA is actually a great Las Vegas show for kids, and it's not always easy to find a kid-friendly show that doesn't bore the 'rents to tears.
- Don't Neglect MGM Grand: One of the best ways to get discount KA Las Vegas tickets is to stay at the MGM Grand. If that huge lion isn't quite your style, the other MGM hotels occasionally offer deals for Cirque du Soleil's KA too.
- Don't Zone Out: Let's be honest, plot or no plot this show is still Cirque du Soleil. Spend too much time admiring the swirling fog or that especially buff martial artist and you will totally lose track of the story playing out in front of you.
Is it Worth It?
KA is worth it for two types of audiences - families with kids and people who can't follow the regular artsy plot-less Cirque shows.User Average Review

Really awesome stage
Posted Apr 26 ,2010
The only thing I really liked about the show was some of the staging. The rotating stage is amazing, but I wasn't a fan of the story line. It didn't really make sense to me and I wasn't a big fan. When explained afterwards what the story was about, it made a lot more sense. I think cirque went over the top with the stage and created something worth watching, but not really worth experiencing. The problem with cirque is overstimulation, and this show is a perfect example. There was very little speaking in this show, and while the music was great, it didn't have a lot of meaning. I didn't really understand what I was watching without the back story and although it was cool, I can't really recommend it. I think they did an amzing job with the stage and with some serious reworking of the plot and the explanation of the tale, it could really be a fantastic show.gingerly1 Would recommend to a friend

KA is awesome!
Posted Mar 22 ,2010
The way the theater is set up you feel as if Cirque is creating a new world for you to become a part of. The ambience is very cool. From the minute the show starts, you know it's going to be an incrediable ride. I won't give away any of the suprises, but I will tell you that you're going to be hit with a completely new dimension of performance. The closer you are to the stage, the better the show. I was so impressed by the boat prop, and how the illusion that was created really made me feel as if I was in another realm. The gamat of emotions felt during this preformance is overwhelming...beauty, peacefulness, happiness, then BAM! DRAMA!Indeed, I didn't expect for Cirque to present such a brilliant and moving story, but they delivered in spades. I didn't want the show to end. I wanted to follow the characters on for hours. Perhaps, someday a movie will be made out of this show. The costumes were genius. It really is awesome how Cirque always find a new way to suprise and impress you.Marco05 Would recommend to a friend

KA is a must see!
Posted Feb 23 ,2010
KA is definitely a must see in the Cirque Family. The storyline is not too difficult to follow though for younger kids it might be. This would not keep them from thoroughly enjoying the show though. The set design is awesome. The stage seems like it's a performer, doing it's own tricks. It is massive in size and just about every seat in the audience is good.We enjoyed it so much and have it on our list of things to do AGAIN-etbt760 Would recommend to a friend

KA by Cirque du Soleil Show Review
Posted Feb 14 ,2010
This was not the first choice of shows for us to see but the tickets for our family of 5, were in our price range. We were amazingly impressed with the story line and the performance as a whole. MGM's theater is incredible. Not only is the stage itself a wonder but towers, which you have to see, are built beyond the stage and almost surround the audience. PLUS, there are speakers in each seat so that you get the whole effect of the show no matter where you sit.We all agreed that this was an amazing live show that we will remember for years to come.bob Would recommend to a friend

i have never seen something like this in my lifetime...their bodies can contort into the most bizarre positions. i enjoyed the acting or would it be considered movement. the story kinda escaped me but the whole feeling in the room was nice. the mgm has done an extensive job at creating a great place for the this show. it was a bonus to not have to walk very far to see this. we were staying at the mgm and the show takes place at the hotel. good music. perfect bodies. very entertaining.More Cirque du Soleil Shows You May Like
