One Night for ONE DROP
Saturday, March 21
5:30 p.m.-12:00 a.m.
Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino
For one extraordinary night, eight Cirque du Soleil productions will go dark and become one for ONE DROP, the non-profit organization established by Cirque du Soleil Founder Guy Laliberté. The 2nd annual One Night for ONE DROP – an original production created and directed by Mukhtar Mukhtar – will feature special guest performers including vocal superstars The Tenors and Cirque du Soleil artists, as they bring together the message of ‘ONE THOUGHT, ONE WORLD,’ as a metaphor of time, and its effect on society, telling us to create the world in which we want to live in, for this one-night-only extravaganza. Sponsorship packages and individual tickets for One Night for ONE DROP are available at onedrop.org/onenight or by calling (702) 778-3772.
One Night for ONE DROP is a joint effort between Cirque du Soleil and MGM Resorts International, which includes Mandalay Bay among its resorts, with proceeds supporting ONE DROP’s worldwide critical clean water access and education programs. A portion of the proceeds raised this night will also go to the Las Vegas Springs Preserve and its ongoing effort to support water conservation and sustainable living in the Las Vegas Valley.
