Show's over: Cirque du Soleil tumbles out of Macau

by Zoe Li, Hong Kong Editor

Cirque du Soleil has pulled its show "Zaia" out of Macau due to disappointing ticket sales.

The curtain came down on the final show on Sunday, meaning "Zaia" completed only three and a half years of its 10-year contract with Sands China Ltd., according to Cirque du Soleil?s senior director of public relations, Ren�e-Claude M�nard.

The end of "Zaia," staged at The Venetian Macao gambling resort, is seen as more proof Macau is not quite Las Vegas, even as its gambling revenue consistently surpasses the American city's.

?We knew the (Macau) market was not shifting from 'gaming only' to a 'destination' market ... we knew it would become an issue at some point in time," M�nard told The Gazette.
