“O” regularly packs ‘em in at Bellagio, but the show is steering clear of all three Las Vegas Grand Prix nights.
Saturday, Cirque du Soleil’s flagship and top-selling show cancelled its Thursday performances, so not to run into the first night of race competition. “O” is instead performing matinees at noon and 2:30 p.m. Friday, and also a single matinee at 2:30 p.m. Saturday.
Most Cirque shows are moving to matinees during race week, with “Ka” at MGM Grand dark all three days and nights of the event. Cirque President, Resident Shows Division and Affiliate Shows Division Eric Grilly said the company is performing acrobatics — in scheduling — to meet fans’ needs.
