A sure sign Las Vegas is healing, a number of temporarily closed shows are again hoisting their curtains to the great relief of performers, techs and many others who rely on these productions to pay the bills.<\/p>\n
Yes, curtains are hoisted. That’s the technical term for it. We can’t tell you how many times we’ve heard stage hands shout, “Hoist the curtain, matey!” Look, it’s in a blog, so it has to be true.<\/p>\n
For starters, “Absinthe” reopens March 17, 2021 at Caesars Palace. Two other productions from the same production company, “Opium” and “Atomic Saloon,” are still on hold.<\/p>\nReopening shows is a balancing act, but we’re ready to awe again.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Live entertainment has been hard hit by capacity limitations. For several months, audience sizes have been limited to 50 people due to the COVID-19 crisis. This made profitability pretty much impossible, so shows decided to go dark.<\/p>\n
Another deal breaker for many shows was a 25-foot “moat” required between performers and audience members. Don’t get us started.<\/p>\n
Now, capacity limits are increasing, so shows are reopening, especially after March 15 when the next phase of loosening restrictions kicks in.<\/p>\n
Several shows have already relaunched. Carrot Top and “Fantasy,” a pair of must-see shows, are already welcoming guests at Luxor.<\/p>\nYou can bet Carrot Top has some pent-up funny.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club at MGM Grand reopened Feb. 15, 2021.<\/p>\n
“Thunder From Down Under” at Excalibur reopened Feb. 15 as well.<\/p>\n
“Piff the Magic Dragon” and “X Burlesque” are open at Flamingo.<\/p>\nPiff is thrilled to be back. Yes, this is Piff’s thrilled face.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
“X Country” and “Tape Face” are tickling their respective fancies at Harrah’s.<\/p>\n
As for what’s coming up, let’s go!<\/p>\n
“Australian Bee Gees” are back March 15, 2021 at Excalibur. Just trust us and see this one.<\/p>\nThe “Australian Bee Gees” are expert spirit-lifters.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
“MJ Live” at The Strat is back March 18, 2021.<\/p>\n
David Copperfield returns March 21, 2021 at MGM Grand.<\/p>\n
Terry Fator’s limited engagement happens at New York-New York next month as well.<\/p>\n
A number of shows in the V Theater are expected to return in early March, including “V, The Ultimate Variety Show,” Nathan Burton Comedy Magic and the beloved Gregory Popovich’s Comedy Pet Theater (photo below).<\/p>\nDogs into it. Cats over it. Things are definitely getting back to normal.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Scheduling and capacities are still tricky with these shows, so plan ahead and reserve your tickets in advance.<\/p>\n
All are adhering to the mask and social distancing mandates, but there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.<\/p>\n
Nevada’s COVID-19 case counts have fallen dramatically in recent weeks, and it’s going to be a great summer in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
Live entertainment provides jobs for thousands of people, and it’s great to see the world of Las Vegas entertainment springing back to life.<\/p>\n
The world is ready to let loose again, and Las Vegas is just the place to do it.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
