O is Cirque du Soleil’s acclaimed Las Vegas residency, housed in the Bellagio theatre since October 15, 1998. Created by Franco Dragone with creation direction by Gilles Ste-Croix, the show blends classical Western and world music, performed live by a dedicated ensemble. A 1.5-million-gallon pool surrounds aquatic, aerial, and ground acts, guiding audiences through a wowing experience with approximately 75 artists and 130 technicians on site. O has earned industry recognition and millions of ticket buyers over its multi-decade run, making it a staple of Las Vegas entertainment.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to Cirque du Soleil, we’ve got you covered with easy, straightforward ticket access, reliable service, and up-to-date show information.
Background and milestones emphasize O’s enduring appeal: the 1998 Entertainment Design Award, the 1999 THEA Award, and local acclaim from the Las Vegas Review-Journal as a Best Production Show across nearly a decade. The show marked its 10,000th performance in 2019 and celebrated a 25th anniversary in 2023. In 2025, O continues its Las Vegas run with a schedule from October 15 to December 28, featuring midweek to weekend performances and specific dark dates (e.g., December 1–16). The production is a residency rather than a tour, anchored by the Bellagio’s iconic theatre stage and its 75 artists and 130 technicians.
