Viva Elvis ™
See the King back where he belongs on stage in Las Vegas.  Cirque du Soleil ® with a partnership with Elvis Presley Enterprises has taken the life, magic and wonder of the “King of Rock and Roll” and transformed it into a one of kind Cirque du Soleil experience, Viva Elvis ™ at the Aria Resort & Casino at City Center.  Combining expert acrobatics with specialized dances and unique stage props and physical effects, Viva Elvis ™ will have the theater singing along and swaying to a live band performing Elvis’ adorned music with the King’s voice the only male singer.  It took over 3,000 hours to analyze the many albums, films, interviews, concerts and home recordings to put together a show that delivers the grandeur of Elvis LIVE.

Musical Acts
You’ve never seen a “Jailhouse Rock” like in Viva Elvis ™.  Inmates escape and dance in a huge jailhouse set piece.  While others are attached to the ceiling by their feet and that allows them to run upside down and twirl around through the air.  All of which, makes for an exuberant and fun rock party, and it’s only a taste of the aerobic performances.  The trampoline act features seven trampolines and seven superheroes in tights defying gravity as their unified cascades of jumps and flips interlace.  Overwhelming the senses, they make it seem as they can fly as they make smooth transitions from a trampoline to the wall then a kick and flip back to a trampoline, really showing the audience they “Got a Lot of Livin’ to Do.” But under all routines like the aerial acts, fire lassos, and the one-armed handstand on eight coarsely stacked chairs, there is the music and life of Elvis Presley, the most extravagant tribute in Las Vegas.

Why Viva Elvis ™?
Fall into the Elvis craze all over again and share that happiness with a new generation.  All the songs are performed live and the original recordings of Elvis were remastered and digitally tweaked for the most authentic Elvis performance.  Relive the life of Elvis Presley.  His early years, his boot camp days, his film career, and his run on the Las Vegas strip are all highlighted with spectacular ensemble created by the Cirque du Soleil team.
