World-renowned entertainment group Cirque du Soleil returned to Life is Beautiful for another sensational appearance at Las Vegas’ favorite festival on Friday, Sept. 22.

Artists, technicians and staff from Cirque du Soleil’s resident shows across the Las Vegas Strip came together to take over the Downtown Stage for a show-stopping spectacle.  Acrobats, aerialists and dancers delighted the crowd with an inspiring performance that included Imagine Dragons’ hit “On Top of the World,” paying tribute to Life is Beautiful’s inaugural festival in 2013 when artists from Mystère performed alongside Imagine Dragons.

Since the first collaboration between the two Las Vegas entertainment icons 10 years ago, Cirque du Soleil has attended each iteration of Vegas’ premier music and arts festival, bringing its signature mind-bending acrobatics to Downtown Las Vegas and performing with top names in music including WALK THE MOON, Foster the People and Imagine Dragons.

This year, Cirque du Soleil is celebrating significant milestone anniversaries for three of its Las Vegas resident productions: Michael Jackson ONE™ at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino marked 10 years in June, “O™” at Bellagio Resort & Casino celebrates 25 years of aquatic brilliance in October and Mystère™ at Treasure Island Hotel & Casino, the show that started it all, will commemorate 30 years in December.
