Mad Apple’s final performance was Saturday, September 5, 2026. The Cirque du Soleil production opened at New York-New York in May 2022 and is no longer part of the current Las Vegas show lineup.
What actually closed
Mad Apple mixed Cirque acrobatics with stand-up comedy, live music, dance and a New York-nightlife frame. Cirque confirmed the September 5 final performance after a run of more than four years.
What not to overstate
The closure was real; a single neat cause was not officially announced. Softer production-show demand and tourism pressure were part of the broader Las Vegas entertainment context, but those factors should not be presented as a direct official explanation for why Mad Apple ended.
What Cirque still has in Las Vegas
Mystère, “O,” KÀ and Michael Jackson ONE remain the core resident Cirque productions on the Strip. If you were looking for Mad Apple specifically, there is no current replacement version to book.
🌵 Kris’s take
The interesting part now is what fills the hole, not trying to manufacture a postmortem we can’t prove. Mad Apple was one of Cirque’s stranger Vegas experiments — comedy and nightlife mixed into the circus format — and that makes the room’s next move worth watching.
