Expert Guide to Cirque du Soleil Seating at New York-New York Theater

Experience the magic of Cirque du Soleil's "Mad Apple" at the New York-New York Theater in Las Vegas. Our seating guide helps you find the perfect balance of view and value for this spectacular in-the-round production. Below are our expert recommendations based on current ticket availability.

Best Value Tickets ($75-$82)

• STGR/STGL Sections (Rows A-C): Front-side stage views at ground level. Row B offers the best balance of proximity and price ($75). These seats put you close to the action with performers often entering/exiting nearby.
• 300-Level Center (Rows BB-FF): Elevated views from sections 301-305. While higher up, these seats provide excellent sightlines to appreciate the full scope of aerial acts ($78). Best value: 303-FF or 302-BB.

Sweet Spot Seats ($111-$138)

• 200-Level Center (Rows K-O): Sections 202-204 offer ideal elevation to take in both floor and aerial performances. Row L in section 202 ($125) provides particularly good sightlines without being too far back.
• 300-Level Front (Rows AA-CC): Closest 300-level seats with minimal obstruction. Section 304-CC ($132) gives a straight-on view of the central performance area.

Higher Tier Options ($143-$197)

• 100-Level Sides (Rows C-G): Sections 101-104 place you closer to the stage but at an angle. Best for those who prefer proximity over perfect sightlines. Section 103-G ($147) gets you near performer entry points.
• 200-Level Front (Rows H-K): Sections 201-205 in rows H-K offer more direct views. Section 205-H ($178) provides a clean sightline to the main stage with good elevation.

Premium & Last-Minute Seats ($200+)

• VIP Sections (Rows VP1-VP2): Front-row premium seating in sections 101-104. Section 104-VP2 ($237) puts you closest to the stage with possible performer interaction.
• 100-Level Center (Rows C-E): The most expensive non-VIP options. Sections 101/104-C ($263) offer direct central views but at a significant premium.

View Considerations

• Circus-Style Layout: The theater's in-the-round design means there are no truly bad seats, but some have partial obstructions from rigging.
• 300-Level: Higher elevation helps appreciate aerial acts but can feel distant from floor performances.
• Stage-Level Seats: STGR/STGL sections offer unique close-up perspectives but may require more neck movement.

Our Top Recommendations

• Budget-Conscious: STGR-B ($75) or 303-FF ($78)
• Best Overall Value: 202-L ($125) or 304-CC ($132)
• Premium Experience: 104-VP2 ($237) for VIP treatment
• Group Tickets: 204-M ($78) has 18 available seats together

Special Notes

"Mad Apple" features more comedy and cabaret elements than traditional Cirque shows, making closer seats particularly engaging. For first-time visitors, we recommend spending at least $125-$150 per ticket for optimal viewing angles.
