Modern day Las Vegas has become well acquainted and associated with Cirque du Soleil. With seven shows in productions and no allegiance to any one hotel and resort chain, the Canadian entertainment troupe may be the most popular collective attraction on the Strip off the casino floors. However, one is remiss to forget the individual who has created two of those seven shows, one of his own, and one of the best selling residencies in the history of the city. That man is Franco Dragone.

Cirque du Soleil: The Beatles – Love has now been featured at the Love Theatre in the Mirage Las Vegas for over five years.

The production has not only survived, but thrived despite the recession, becoming an annual pilgrimage for some and an once-in-a-lifetime trip worth sacrifice for many others.

Only a city known as Sin City could be the unofficial American home of Cirque du Soleil. The Montreal-based contemporary circus troupe has seven shows in production on the Las Vegas strip, the most in any city across the vast continental United States. The incredibly creative company is such a force on the Strip that no single hotel or hotel conglomerate has a monopoly on Crique du Soleil tickets!
