An international cast, state-of-the-art technology and a Wheel of Death entertain audiences in “Celestia” at The Strat. Located in a 30,000-square-foot tent, the new production features contortionists, aerialists and acrobats — including former “America’s Got Talent” contestants Sandou Trio Russian Bar and father-daughter duo Sergey and Sasha. Showtimes are 7 and 9 p.m. Fridays to Sundays and 7 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays. Tickets are $29 to $89; call 702-380-7711.
Create an athletic, acrobatic, fast-moving take on a traditional circus-style production, spike it with talented performers and original music and drop the whole thing inside a 30,000-square-foot tent on the Las Vegas Strip at a casino resort with free parking. Doesn’t that sound like the perfect easy-access, all-ages show for the summer?
“Celestia” is a lot of fun to experience as its primary characters embark on a celestial path filled with dazzling acrobatic performances, though I suggest not getting tied up in any storylines.
Certainly, it’s an ideal show for all ages. The grandiose, 30,000-square-foot tent provides a genuine, circus atmosphere....
