Las Vegas - In this most unlikely of locations, an intriguing and sometimes exciting cultural cross-pollination is beginning to germinate. Quebec's visionary Cirque du Soleil dominates casino entertainment here, with five huge budget productions on the Strip, two more in development, and a derivative show, "Le Reve," owned by another producer.
While most Elvis fans are focused on Memphis this week for the 32nd annual Elvis Tribute Week, Graceland's parent company, CKX Inc., is looking ahead to a December or January debut of the first Elvis production by Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas. CKX signed a long-term joint venture in 2006 with the Montreal- based troupe which combines circus and theater for a series of extravagant productions including a Beatles-themed production called "Love.
LAS VEGAS -- If you've ever wanted to dive into the Octopus's Garden or meet a psychedelic Sgt. Pepper, the creators of a new Beatles-themed Cirque du Soleil show are offering a little help from their friends. The theatrical interpretation, "Love," is based on 130 songs and song fragments. It debuts at The Mirage hotel-casino in June and takes audiences through a dreamlike journey that tracks the Fab Four's career.
LAS VEGAS - One month after debuting a surreal re-creation of the Beatles' musical career, Cirque du Soleil announced plans to open an Elvis Presley-themed show on the Las Vegas strip. Known for its extravagant theatrical performances combining live music, dance and acrobatics, the Quebec-based circus troupe has teamed with CKX Inc., and its subsidiary, Elvis Presley Enterprises, to create the show.
The large blue-and-yellow striped apparition that recently appeared on a Strip District parking lot is not a mushroom created by prolonged spring rains. It's Cirque du Soleil's way of announcing that the circus has come to town.

LAS VEGAS - One of the hottest tickets in Las Vegas isn't Cher or Celine, Blue Man Group or Cirque de Soleil. It's a day trip to a gravel lot filled with scrap metal, miles from the Strip. There, on North Las Vegas Boulevard, surrounded by a chain-link fence, is the latest incarnation of the legendary Las Vegas neon "boneyard." It's the kind of place where great signs of long-gone casinos and bars, motels and dry cleaners go to die. They are leaned haphazardly against each other and stacked in chopped-up chunks against walls. Dust, rust and daylight obscure the beauty of their once-lush oranges and blues, reds and greens that glowed in the night.
Las Vegas - Along with the billion-dollar hotel reproductions of Paris, Venice and ancient Egypt that have been built during a jaw- dropping surge of construction in Las Vegas, promoters are trying to bring Broadway to the desert. That doesn't mean this 24-hour city has abandoned the comedians, magicians and topless showgirls who have toiled in the entertainment trenches for half a century. They are still here, along with a tribute to the Rat Pack, performing hypnotists and a 2 1/2 -hour bus tour devoted to the Mafia's history in Vegas.
