LAS VEGAS – KÀ by Cirque du Soleil was welcomed back to its colossal theater at MGM Grand Hotel & Casino by an enthusiastic sold-out audience in Las Vegas on Nov. 24, 2021. The gravity-defying show and its talented artists kicked off the show’s return with a celebratory processional through MGM Grand, culminating with a specially curated pop-up performance in the main hotel lobby. The action-packed, epic production is the final Cirque du Soleil Las Vegas resident show to reopen following the unprecedented global intermission.
