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

Best Value Tickets (Under $80)

• STAGE RIGHT/LEFT Row A ($75): Closest side sections to stage with slightly angled views. Great for seeing performers' expressions up close.
• STGL/STGR Rows B-C ($76-78): Center sections just behind VIP rows. Minimal view obstruction at this price point.
• 200-Level Rows L-M ($78): Elevated side views that still maintain good sightlines to all aerial acts.

Sweet Spot Seating (Best Balance of Price & View)

• 100-Level Center (Sections 101-104 Rows E-F, $125-147): The ideal middle ground with direct frontal views of all stage action and acrobatics.
• 200-Level Front Rows (Sections 201-205 Rows H-K, $147-177): Elevated enough to see all aerial performances while still feeling close to the stage.
• 300-Level Front (Rows AA-BB, $111-138): Surprisingly good sightlines from these balcony seats, especially for the price.

Higher Tier Options (Premium Views)

• 100-Level VIP (Rows C-D, $240-299): Includes premium padded seating and best sightlines for ground-level performances.
• 200-Level Center (Rows H-J, $187-208): Perfect elevation to take in both floor and aerial acts without neck strain.
• 300-Level Center (Rows AA-CC, $184-227): Excellent panoramic views of the entire production from above.

Premium & Last-Minute Options

• 100-Level VIP Boxes (VP1/VP2, $299-384): Private box experience with dedicated servers and best sightlines in the house.
• Stage-Front (Rows A-B, $95-96): For those who want to feel part of the action - may involve some upward viewing.
• 300-Level Front Center (Rows AA, $227+): Last-minute premium balcony seats with outstanding overall perspectives.

View Considerations by Section

• Stage Left/Right: Best for seeing performers enter/exit and unique angled perspectives on aerial acts.
• 100-Level Center: Unobstructed views of all ground performances but may require looking up for aerial acts.
• 200-Level: The "Goldilocks zone" - high enough to see all aerial work without being too distant.
• 300-Level Front: Surprisingly good value - can see choreography patterns better than some floor seats.
• 300-Level Rear: Only recommended for budget-conscious buyers - bring binoculars for facial expressions.

Our Top Recommendations

• For Budget Buyers: STGL/STGR Rows B-C ($76) offer incredible value just feet from more expensive seats.
• For Best Overall Experience: 100-Level Center Rows E-F ($125-147) provide the perfect balance of view and comfort.
• For Premium Experience: 100-Level VIP Rows C-D ($240+) or Box Seats offer luxury accommodations with perfect sightlines.
• For Large Groups: 300-Level Front Rows AA-BB ($111-138) often have blocks of seats together at reasonable prices.

Special Notes for Cirque du Soleil Shows

The theater's steep stadium seating means even 300-level seats have good sightlines. For "Mad Apple," center sections are preferable to appreciate the full comedy and variety acts. Traditional Cirque shows benefit more from slightly elevated seats in the 200-level to see all aerial dimensions.
