What is “O” by Cirque du Soleil?
“O” by Cirque du Soleil is a 90-minute aquatic production at Bellagio built around a 1.5-million-gallon pool. Artistic swimming, diving, aerial performance and acrobatics move across water, open air and solid stage space inside the custom O Theatre.
The pool is not a backdrop—it is part of the mechanics of the production. Performers can disappear into the water, emerge into aerial sequences and shift the scale of the stage from one scene to the next. That technical design is what separates “O” from a conventional acrobatic show.
Is “O” by Cirque du Soleil worth seeing?
Yes if you want Cirque at its most visually ambitious, with water, diving, aerial work and acrobatics sharing the same stage at Bellagio.
The custom O Theatre lets the production move between water, stage and open air without feeling like three separate shows. The pool is part of the staging rather than a backdrop, so the scale reads best when you can see the whole picture as well as the performers.
If “O” is the Cirque show you’re leaning toward, I’d put the seat budget into sections 201–205 before chasing the front row. That elevated middle band makes it easier to read the water choreography, diving and aerial work together — and the scale is a big part of what makes this show different.

Frequently asked questions
Will I actually get splashed?
Bellagio classifies the first three rows of sections 101–105 as Wet Seats. Getting wet is not guaranteed, but water can reach those rows during the performance.
Is “O” appropriate for kids?
Everyone must be at least 5 years old to attend. Guests under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
What nights does “O” run?
The current schedule is Wednesday through Sunday at 6:30 PM and 9 PM. Bellagio publishes specific dark dates separately, so check the available dates for your trip.
6:30 PM or 9 PM — which should I pick?
The production is the same. The 6:30 PM show is an easy fit for families or dinner afterward; 9 PM works well if you want dinner first and the show to anchor the rest of the night.
Which seats should I get for “O”?
Sections 201–205 are the Vegas Sidekick Sweet Spot / Our Pick. That elevated 200-level band keeps the pool, stage and aerial space easy to read together. Lower Orchestra sections 101–105 are closer to the water, while balcony sections 302–304 give you a higher, wider view of the full aquatic staging.
How long is “O”?
The show runs 90 minutes with no intermission.
Where is the “O” Theatre and when do doors open?
The O Theatre is inside Bellagio at 3600 S Las Vegas Blvd. Theater doors open 30 minutes before showtime, so give yourself enough time to cross the resort and get settled.
