Cirque du Soleil’s new show, Mad Apple, has debuted a new spectacle on the Las Vegas Strip: a massive and vibrantly colored 30-by-30-foot inflatable apple prominently located at the base of Lady Liberty at New York-New York Hotel & Casino.

The 315-pound spherical display took more than 200 hours to create. Inflated in six minutes, the apple has made its new home on The Strip and will be on property throughout the show’s May launch.
