Stories from Backstage: Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas

In Stories from Backstage: Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas, The Neon Museum explores Cirque du Soleil’s impact on transforming the entertainment landscape of Las Vegas, with specific focus placed on the interplay between the company’s diverse people and the dazzling productions – including Mystère, “O,” Mad Apple, KÀ, and Michael Jackson ONE – they bring to life.

Through a collection of the shows’ creative design elements along with interviews from team members, we invite you to explore the stories behind how professional athletes learn to embody roles as creative artists, how skilled designers marry safety and spectacle into every show’s design, and how technological and production advancements have changed what it means to create a modern memorable Las Vegas entertainment experience.

The Neon Museum is honored to share the story of Cirque du Soleil becoming an icon in Las Vegas entertainment. All artifacts in this exhibition are on loan from Cirque du Soleil.
