In keeping with the theme of the hotel it resides in, the Mad Apple Theater was purpose-built for Cirque du Soleil's original production based on New York City. The venue’s design reflects a modern blend of a classic Broadway theater and a vibrant nightclub, creating an intimate space to interact with the show. The New York-New York hotel itself includes a scaled replica of the Big Apple's skyline in the 1940s, including popular structures like the Chrysler building and the Statue of Liberty. The circus production adds another dimension to the complete experience.

Handy Tips
- Dress up: A night out at the Mad Apple is the perfect opportunity to bring out the bling and let loose. To make the most of the experience, plan to arrive at least 30-minutes before the show and experience the live bar.
- Take a ride: The New York-New York hotel complex also includes a massive roller coaster and an arcade. Enjoying the Big Apple coaster in the wee hours of the morning is recommended for a serene view of the city skyline.
- Best seats: If you're experiencing the show for the first time, we recommend picking seats closest to the stage for a chance to interact with the performers. For folks who prefer to appreciate the scale of the set, seats on the upper level are better.
- Plan your visit: It is best to plan bathroom breaks, meals, and any other important tasks pre or post performance as the show runs for 90 minutes and does not include an intermission. Grab an early meal at Gallagher's Steakhouse and keep room for a night cap at Coyote Ugly.
