Cirque du Soleil pays tribute to the King of Pop with a show that follows THE IMMORTAL World Tour. With 63 dancers and stuntmen and choreographies combining urban dance and hip hop, Michael Jackson ONE is one of Cirque du Soleil's latest blockbusters in Las Vegas. A great moment, about 90 minutes, to rediscover the genius of the King of the Pop... A goodie store is located outside the Michael Jackson ONE Theater.

TIX4VEGAS was particularly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic: six of its nine outlets had to close. This one, located outside the Showcase Mall, is one of the three survivors. Nevertheless, the efficiency of this box office has not been impacted by the crisis: it still offers the best prices for the many shows in Las Vegas, from Cirque du Soleil productions to the variety of shows characteristic of the city. Note that it is possible to find tickets for the same evening. Special mention to the very warm welcome.

This is probably one of the most impressive shows in Las Vegas, and the one most locals recommend. This is the show that made Cirque du Soleil's reputation in Sin City. The circular letter is used as a diminutive for "water", the theme on which the entire show is based. Swimmers, divers and dancers follow one another in a 2.5-hour aquatic ballet on a stage that turns into a swimming pool. It's a good introduction to the shows put on by this internationally renowned Quebec company, and one that rarely leaves you disappointed.

In January 2013, San Francisco opened this center dedicated to jazz performance and education. The structure, a $60 million architectural project, was designed by Mark Cavagnero and houses a 700-seat auditorium, three rehearsal rooms, a digital music lab and a restaurant. The SFJAZZ season, in addition to the jazz festival and summer sessions, includes more than 400 performances a year in the San Francisco Bay Area. The concerts have gained international recognition, so it's best to book your tickets in advance.

This permanent show by the hilarious Cirque du Soleil has been produced at the Mirage since 2006. Love had the good idea of not proposing a retrospective, but rather an experiment on the Beatles. Each of the Liverpool band's cult songs is illustrated by acrobatic scenes on a 360° stage, where an air of surreal poetry hovers. A multi-sensory journey that is psychedelic, captivating, immersive and technological. Spectacular, as always! At the helm: director Dominic Champagne.

Three blue-skinned, black-clad percussionists engage in strange experiments on stage: playing tom-tom while spraying themselves with acrylic, gobbling up as many marshmallows as possible without choking, developing a musical tune while crunching cereal, making a canvas by spitting paint... The show is punctuated by long drum riffs on piping systems. This show is perfect for a family outing. To enjoy the show and have the best view, it is advisable to take seats in rows A and B.

The San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, founded in 1911 and resident since 1980 at Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall in the Hayes Valley neighborhood of the city, has a worldwide reputation.

After 25 years of conducting the orchestra, Michael Tilson Thomas stepped down as conductor in 2020 to take over from Esa-Pekka Salonen of Finland.

Opening on July 4, 2023, The Sphere is Las Vegas' newest attraction.

The Grateful Dead, Santana, Jimi Hendrix, Captain Beefheart, The Who and Otis Redding were all heard there. Among the more recent stars to have trodden the Fillmore's stage are Prince, Lenny Kravitz, Radiohead, The Cure, The White Stripes, Ali Farka Toure...

The creators of the excellent show Absinthe - the Spiegeworld company - are responsible for the quirky asteroid that is OPM. What's it all about? The space shuttle OPM73 and its zany crew are drifting between Uranus and Earth. So much for the pitch. For almost 75 minutes, the numbers fly by, punctuated by the groovy, electric music of a talented orchestra and the sexy interventions of a singer who has all the makings of a Cosmic Girl. A fun, rock'n'roll show that's a true declaration of love for SF films and B-movies.

From the outset of the project in 2007, the Smith Center was envisioned as an international arts center, designed to showcase the most brilliant programming of the day.

Experience an unforgettable experience. This show is a mixture of cabaret numbers, theatre scenes, circus arts, music and humour, all accompanying a gourmet dinner of 5 dishes. This is expensive, but it would be missing one of San Francisco's major attractions than not going there.

Audium is the place where sound, space and deep immersive experience meet. This "theater of sound" proposes to intensely explore music and the spatial dimension of sound, thanks to a multi diffusion installation. Today, Audium has become a true center for spatial art, which has set itself the goal of amplifying perceptual awareness of the space and sounds that surround our society. It is a canvas for artists, playing with technological and creative boundaries. The pieces proposed are however of uneven quality.

Saloon would be the oldest bar in San Francisco (1861). Nothing has changed for decades: the population is still predominantly male, beers are still drunk at the counter and folk and country bands play there every night. And every Monday it's the resident band The Bachelors that welcomes you, a most enjoyable blues-rockabilly ensemble! We love the picturesque interior and the atmosphere. The owner will be happy to serve you and tell you his best anecdotes.
