LAS VEGAS -Elvis is coming to The Strip — Cirque du Soleil style.
Cirque du Soleil announced Thursday that its new show in Las Vegas will be called "Viva ELVIS."
The show will be a tribute to the life and music of Elvis Presley. It will have a permanent home at the Aria Resort & Casino at MGM Mirage's CityCenter complex, set to open in December.
Known for its extravagant theatrical performances combining live music, dance and acrobatics, the Quebec-based circus troupe announced plans for the show in August 2006.
Cirque du Soleil has teamed with CKX Inc. and Elvis Presley Enterprises to create the show.
