Michael Jackson ONE by Cirque du Soleil is a 90-minute show at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip. It combines Cirque du Soleil acrobatics with Michael Jackson’s greatest hits, performed by a cast of 63 artists on a stage surrounded by 9 LED panels and state-of-the-art surround sound. No intermission: the energy doesn’t stop from the moment the lights go down.
Here’s how to get the best tickets.
Ticket Prices by Seating Category (2026)
The Michael Jackson ONE Theatre has 1,805 seats split across multiple categories. Prices are dynamic and fluctuate based on demand, but here’s what to expect:
Category E (back rows, sections 201–205): from $117 — farthest from the stage with side-angle views. The most affordable standard option, and they sell out fast.
Category D (mid rows, sections 201–204): from $147 — still in the upper level but closer to center. A solid middle ground between price and sightlines.
Category C (mixed sections, all levels): from $178 — seats across the theatre offering a balanced view without the premium price tag. The sweet spot for most visitors.
Category L: from $178 — check availability, as a special offer version of this category is sometimes listed from $155.
Category B (front sections 101–103): from $208 — close to the stage with direct or elevated side-angle views. This is where the show becomes truly immersive.
Category A (center section 102, elevated): from $239 — the best standard seats in the house, directly facing center stage from an elevated position.
VIP Experience: from $379 — premium seating plus an exclusive meet-and-greet with the artists after the show.
Look for special offers: Categories M (from $129) and L (from $155) occasionally appear as limited-time promotional pricing. If you see them available on your date, grab them — they offer great value and don’t last long.
All ticket prices include the 9% Live Entertainment Tax. No hidden fees at checkout.

Showtimes & Schedule
Michael Jackson ONE performs Thursday through Monday, with two showtimes each night: 6:30 PM and 9:00 PM. Dark nights are Tuesday and Wednesday — no shows on those days.
The 9:00 PM slot is the most popular and sells out faster. If your schedule allows, the 6:30 PM show tends to have better availability and lets you plan dinner or another activity afterwards.
Best Seats — Where to Sit
Every seat in the theatre has good sightlines thanks to the intimate design, but if you want the best experience:
Best seats in the house: Category A in section 102 (center, elevated). Direct view of center stage from the ideal height. Worth the $239 if this is a special occasion.
Best overall value: Category C in section 102 (center). You’re close enough to feel the bass and see the acrobatics in detail, without the premium price.
Best for immersion: Category B in sections 101 or 103. You’re right next to the stage — the aerial stunts happen directly over you, and the surround sound is at its most intense.
Best on a budget: Category E, or grab a Category M special offer ($129) if one is available on your date. You’re farther back, but the LED panels and sound system are designed to reach every corner of the theatre. You won’t miss the music — you’ll just miss some of the fine details of the choreography.
Tip: the show uses the entire theatre, not just the stage. Performers appear in the aisles, from the ceiling, and behind the audience. There’s no truly “bad” seat.
How to Get There
Address: Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, 3950 Las Vegas Blvd South, Las Vegas, NV 89119. The theatre is located off the casino floor — from the front desk, walk through the casino toward the Sports Book, turn left at the Michael Jackson ONE Ticket Office, and the theatre entrance is on your right.
