MGM Grand, KÀ by Cirque du Soleil: still running, most nights from about $75 with tax

Q: Why is it called KÀ?

The name goes back to an ancient Egyptian belief5 in a spiritual double of the body, which stays with you through this life and the next. On stage it binds 2 twins parted by war.

Q: Which is better, KÀ or O?

O13 is an aquatic show of divers, swimmers and acrobats; KÀ2 tells a war story in martial arts and fire. Pick the water or the story.

Q: Is KÀ on at Christmas and New Year?

Yes on 24 and 25 December and 1 January, at 6pm and 8.30pm1. 31 December falls on a Thursday and has no show.

Is KÀ by Cirque du Soleil still running? Yes: MGM Grand sells seats into November 2027. The $69 it advertises already holds $18.30 of fee, and Nevada’s 9% tax takes that seat to about $75.

KÀ or another evening

Why go

Wushu, capoeira and a Wheel of Death, with the musicians playing live at every show.

When to look elsewhere

Pyrotechnics, theatrical fog, flashing lights and loud noises belong to the show, so anyone who struggles with them should plan another evening.
