• Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas

    What to See

    Cirque du Soleil's "Zumanity" is definitely one of those Las Vegas shows that is not for kids. So leave them with family if you are able. This is a show celebrating human sexuality. The ushers have on t-shirts that make them look as though they are wearing nothing. This is a better show if you sit farther away from the stage. They have some ladies in a large glass container splashing around. Some of the gymnastics and acrobatics are simply amazing. The clowns still the show at times.
