Discover the best seats for Cirque du Soleil's breathtaking shows at the New York-New York Theater in Las Vegas. Our venue experts have analyzed every section to help you find perfect views, best-value tickets, and premium experiences for both "Cirque du Soleil" and "Mad Apple" performances.

Best Value Tickets (Under $80)

• STAGE LEFT/STAGE RIGHT (Rows A): $75 - Closest side views with performers often interacting directly with these sections. Limited legroom but unmatched proximity.
• STGR/STGL (Rows B-C): $75-$78 - Slightly elevated side sections with better sightlines over stage elements. Best budget option for technical viewing.
• 200-Level (Rows L-O): $78 - Elevated center sections providing a comprehensive view of the entire stage. Perfect for first-time viewers who want to take in all the action.

Sweet Spot Seating (Best Balance of Price & View)

• 300-Level Center (Rows AA-EE): $78-$132 - The theater's steep rake means even "nosebleed" seats have clear views. Sections 302-305 offer the best perspective for aerial acts.
• 200-Level Front (Rows K-M): $125-$157 - Closer center sections where you can see performers' expressions while still taking in the full stage picture.
• 100-Level Rear (Rows E-G): $125-$147 - Elevated enough to see over heads with comfortable legroom. Sections 103-104 have excellent diagonal views of the stage.

Premium Viewing Options

• 100-Level Center (Rows C-F): $176-$227 - The "Goldilocks zone" - close enough for immersion but far enough for perspective. Sections 101/104 offer the most direct sightlines.
• VIP Packages (VP1/VP2): $240-$384 - Includes premium seating, exclusive merchandise, and sometimes meet-and-greet opportunities. Best for special occasions.
• Front Orchestra (Rows A-B): $111-$138 - For those who want to feel the energy of the performers. Note: You may need to look up frequently for aerial acts.

View Comparison

• Stage-Level Seats: Feel immersed in the action but may miss some overhead elements. Best for the "Mad Apple" cabaret-style show.
• 100-Level: See both floor and aerial acts clearly. Minimal neck strain with 25-35° viewing angle.
• 200-Level: 15-20° viewing angle provides the most balanced perspective for complex productions.
• 300-Level: Best for appreciating large-scale choreography and lighting designs. 10-15° viewing angle.

Pro Tips

• Avoid extreme side sections (301/305) for "Cirque du Soleil" as some acts are designed for center viewing.
• Rows AA in the 300-level are equivalent to front-row balcony seating with extra legroom.
• For "Mad Apple," stage-left seats (Sections STGL/STGR) offer better views of the comedy acts.
• The theater's intimate size (1,800 seats) means there are truly no bad seats - prioritize your budget and preferred viewing style.
