Mystere/YMMV

• Alternative Character Interpretation: Brian Le Petit is a variant on the clown act that Wayne Hronek created and performed for the show's first seven years under the character name Benny Le Grand: The character's troublemaking actions are hardly changed, but Brian Dewhurst realized that he did not feel comfortable playing the role as "rather a dark, bitter clown", and from there developed a persona that is best referred to as "impish".
• Ear Worm: "Kunya Sobe", the song from the second half of the bungee act.
  • If that song's ridiculously catchy bass line and the cool, upbeat riff doesn't constitute an ear worm to you... you'd have to be crazy!
• Ensemble Darkhorse: While a participant in the Korean plank/trampoline/fast track act, the Red Bird is primarily a dancing character...but so popular that the official logo now features him/her (as seen on the main article's page image). One article in a Vegas tourist magazine went so far as to suggest that the Red Bird has become the real protagonist of the show!
• Genre Turning Point: This and Sigfried and Roy's magic show at the neighboring Mirage Hotel and Casino made Las Vegas safe for more than just showgirl extravaganzas and celebrity impersonators.
  • Follow the Leader: MGM Grand Hotel and Casino subsequently presented EFX!, a show that hyped its special-effects setpieces but suspiciously included magic and circus-based segments as well, while the Luxor offered Imagine, a straight-up knockoff of Cirque, in The Nineties. Due to subsequent casino corporation mergers, both hotels now present their own Cirque shows -- KA at MGM Grand and Criss Angel -- Believe at the Luxor.
• Rewatch Bonus: There's a lot of stuff happening in the background throughout the show, and the Audience Participation means the comedy segments are a little different every time. (Even more so if you get to see the understudies for those segments, since they put their own stamp on them.)
