Pre-promotion list was $301.86 — saved $61.34. ## Show details time preference - **Genre:** Cirque du Soleil flagship — epic narrative with **Pick the famous rotating, tilting sand-cliff stage - **Duration:** 90 minutes (no intermission) - **Arrival:** Theater entry inside MGM Grand; arrive ~5:30 7:00 PM (doors typically open 30 min prior) show** (not the 9:30 PM late show). Reasoning: - **Plan tie-in:** Show ends ~7:30 7:00 PM → done ~8:30 PM → walk back to Aria (~12 (12 min via Strip past Bellagio fountains lit up) → dinner at Bardot Brasserie ~8:00 ~9 PM ## Decision archive → sleep ~11 PM - **6 9:30 PM over 8:30 PM** (the actual late show times — not 7/9:30 as initially assumed): better road-trip rhythm — normal-time → done ~11 PM → dinner post-show, fresh Tuesday morning for the ~midnight → sleep ~1 AM → Tue's 4h drive + VoF + Horseshoe Bend sunset - **Section 202 mid-rows over front center / sides:** KÀ's vertical stage requires elevation + distance; sides miss center-staged cues; front center 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 too close ~12 min walk from Aria via the Strip (passes Bellagio fountains both ways — actual feature). No need to absorb stay at MGM Grand; Aria's ambiance + restaurants are the tilting stage - **Cat C ($92) over Cat B (~$110)**: ~$40 savings, 90% of better choice for the same viewing experience; the row position matters more than the section gradient at this distance one Vegas night. ## Cancellation Seat tier Show tickets - 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 **non-refundable** (standard 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:** cirquedusoleil.com (official, best for Cirque/MGM event tickets). $240.52 is committed. seat selection) or mgmgrand.com (slightly different inventory).
