Event Details

Cirque du Soleil: Michael Jackson ONE takes the stage again on September 6, 2026, offering an experience that is difficult to reproduce through clips because the room itself contributes so much. Dance remains the foundation, but martial-arts movement, aerial work, trampolines, video and cinematic effects expand familiar songs beyond a tribute-concert format. The emotional pull comes from hearing a familiar catalog at theatrical scale while watching dancers and acrobats translate its rhythm into physical images.

Mandalay Bay is a large resort at the south end of the Strip, so guests should budget for the internal casino walk after parking or rideshare arrival. The show works for guests with different levels of fandom because the production explains itself through recognizable rhythm, movement and spectacle rather than biography.

The production celebrates artistic legacy rather than examining personal history, and visitors should not expect a documentary or live biographical musical. Treat the listed start time as the deadline for being seated because opening sequences quickly establish the characters and musical world used throughout the show. Anyone choosing between the available showings should consider whether an earlier performance or a later, livelier room fits the rest of the day better.

Attending Michael Jackson ONE in Las Vegas was an exhilarating experience for my family. This tribute show artfully blends stunning dance routines, acrobatics, and visuals to honor the legacy of the King of Pop. From the opening scene, we were transported into Michael's universe, with his iconic songs setting the stage for the mesmerizing performances. The performers were exceptional, flawlessly executing Michael's signature moves with both skill and charisma. The narrative was touching, seamlessly integrating key moments from Michael's life and career to create a powerful connection with the audience. The production's meticulous attention to every detail, including the costumes and lighting, transformed each segment into a visual spectacle. Whether you're a devoted fan or just discovering Michael's music, Michael Jackson ONE offers an unforgettable journey through his artistry. We left the theater inspired, eager to experience this magic all over again in the future.

I recently saw Michael Jackson ONE in Las Vegas and it was an incredible show! The performance brought Michael Jackson back to life with all of his iconic songs. Although I wish there was a hologram of the real Michael, the show was still enjoyable. Being a Cirque de Soleil show, it was definitely worth seeing at least once. The entrance is conveniently located next to the sports bar.

Absolutely incredible show in Las Vegas. A must-see without a doubt! The choreography is amazing, the dancers are top-notch, the stage production is stunning, and the story line is beautiful. Michael Jackson would be proud to see his message still being shared in such a powerful way.

Hands down, Michael Jackson ONE is one of the top Cirque Du Soleil shows I have ever experienced. It completely surpassed all of my expectations. Even if you're not a huge Michael Jackson fan, you can still enjoy the incredible music, dancing, acrobatics, and mind-blowing computer/lighting effects. Plus, they even have real snow! It's a show that appeals to a wide range of ages. I heard from a friend that they have made updates to the show since they last saw it years ago, so it would definitely be worth revisiting if you've seen it before.

**If you find my review helpful please click on the LIKE 👍 icon and follow my profile...thank you!** This is my third time watching the show...and it never gets old!! The choreography and special effects are stunning, and the acrobatics are incredible - this is one talented group of performers. I'm a huge fan of Michael Jackson's music (his personal life...well, not so much), so this transformation of his music into a little show is deeply satisfying. I'll be sure to go a fourth time, the next time I'm in Vegas...you should definitely see it at least once. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

If you're a MJ fan, you'll love it. It was interesting that they included songs that aren't considered hits but don't worry, they include a lot of the hits we all know. The best seats are not the closest to the stage but at least 15 rows up to get a great panoramic view of the stage. There's also acts that happen on the side so it's easy to miss if you're too close to the stage.

We had the opportunity to watch the Cirque du Soleil Michael Jackson ONE show at the Mandalay Bay Resort, and were blown away by the spectacular performance. The show is a tribute to the King of Pop, featuring his most iconic songs and imagery, reimagined with stunning acrobatics, dance, and visuals. The show is a feast for the eyes and ears, with state-of-the-art surround sound that makes you feel like you are in the middle of the action. The performers are incredibly talented and energetic, executing amazing feats of acrobatics, aerials, martial arts, and dance. The choreography is faithful to Michael Jackson's style, but also adds a creative twist that showcases the Cirque du Soleil's signature flair. The costumes and props are colorful and inventive, capturing the essence of Michael Jackson's personality and legacy. The show also features some special effects that enhance the experience, such as holograms, projections of Michael, pyrotechnics, and incredible acrobatics. The show is a celebration of Michael Jackson's life and music, and a tribute to his fans. It is a must-see for anyone who loves his songs and wants to relive his magic. It is also a great introduction for those who are not familiar with his work, as it showcases his versatility and influence on pop culture. The show is suitable for all ages, as it has something for everyone to enjoy. I highly recommend this show to anyone who is looking for a thrilling and memorable night in Las Vegas. It is one of the best shows I have ever seen, and I would love to see it again. It is truly a one-of-a-kind experience that honors the legend of Michael Jackson.

The storyline of the show was really interesting, and all of Michael Jackson's hits were part of the show. A+ there. But if you're really excited to see visually stunning costumes and a quirky Cirque show, this isn't it. It's mostly hip hop dancing with a few stunts and illusions, which were very entertaining. But it didn't have the tongue and cheek comedy or circus feel to it that a lot of other Cirque shows have. It was also really, really loud (like live concert loud) and if I were to go again, I'd bring ear plugs. If you really love Michael Jackson and don't care much about the Cirque name being on it, this show is definitely for you.

Wonderful show! Highly recommend. Tastefully done, great tribute to a great artist, the guitar lady they could do without she was super not in to her role in the show everyone else phenomenal work. They do not tell you beforehand that like the entire first half of the show is such intense flashing lights that if you have sensory issues at all or have family with epileptic tendencies or migraines they will have their eyes closed for like 30 minutes. That being said it was beyond enjoyable I’m glad we went I’ve recommended friends and family to go the show is in constant motion for 2 hrs as only cirque can do with such flair! Worth the $69 a ticket and it’s true that there is not a bad seat in this theater don’t bother with expensive tickets no need you will get a great show anywhere in this theater! Go see it!

Compared to the other Cirque du Soleil performances I've watched, this one was very distinct. In my eyes, it could almost be described as a musical. The dancers and acrobats were amazing, the trampoliners were particularly captivating and the one-legged acrobat, staying up on his himself by using crutches, was simply magnificent. The incorporation of holograms into the production was awesome as well. Nevertheless, I do feel that the pole dancing did not quite fit in, and could have been cut out of the overall excellent show. All things considered, the show is definitely worth the money.
