**Show:** KÀ by Cirque du Soleil **Venue:** MGM Grand, Las Vegas **Date:** Mon Sep 21, 2026, evening **Guests:** 2 — Nicolas + Benoit ## Show time preference **Pick the 7:00 PM show** (not the 9:30 PM late show). Reasoning: - 7:00 PM → done ~8:30 PM → walk back to Aria (12 min via Strip past Bellagio fountains lit up) → dinner at Bardot Brasserie ~9 PM → sleep ~11 PM - 9:30 PM late show → done ~11 PM → dinner ~midnight → sleep ~1 AM → Tue's 4h drive + VoF + Horseshoe sunset becomes painful Verify exact 7 PM show time on cirquedusoleil.com when booking — schedules occasionally shift seasonally. ## Hotel coordination **Hotel:** Aria (see Redmine #53). MGM Grand is ~12 min walk from Aria via the Strip (passes Bellagio fountains both ways — actual feature). No need to stay at MGM Grand; Aria's ambiance + restaurants are the better choice for the one Vegas night. ## Seat tier - KÀ categories typically: 1 (premium center), 2, 3, 4, 5 (back side) - For Benoit's first US Cirque show — worth splurging on Category 1 or 2 if available (the staging/rigging effects are best appreciated from center orchestra) - Avoid extreme side seats — some staging effects don't read from angles **Schedule check:** KÀ plays Sat/Sun/Mon/Tue/Wed (dark Thu/Fri). Monday is a playing day ✅ **Booking sources:** **To do:** - Verify exact show time on cirquedusoleil.com (official, best for - Pick seat selection) or mgmgrand.com (slightly different inventory). tier (Category 1-5) - Coordinate with Vegas hotel booking so we sleep walking-distance to MGM Grand
