The Jay Owenhouse magic show, performed in a tent across from Mandalay Bay, has discreetly closed. Or, as people used to say, “pulled up stakes.”<\/p>\n

Jay Owenhouse is known for his big cats, but that element of the show didn’t sit well with the Clark County Board of Commissioners, so the short-lived tent production was catless.<\/p>\n

The show opened on Thanksgiving 2023, as quietly as it closed. The whole Owenhouse saga has been, well, odd.<\/p>\n

This is the “Celestia” tent, not the Jay Owenhouse tent. Close enough for a “blog,” though.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There has been no official announcement of the closure of the show, nor has it been confirmed.<\/p>\n

However, if you follow the “Buy Tickets” link on the Jay Owenhouse site, you get this<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yes, clicking on a link is, technically, investigative journalism. We have made some room on our mantle for the journalism awards, please send them along at your leisure.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Other outlets where tickets are normally sold (if tickets were, in fact, sold) show no tickets available for any upcoming dates.<\/p>\n

The Owenhouse tent sat on the site of the former Skyvue observation wheel. At one point, the site was being cleared and the rumor was the long-abandoned pillars would be removed. You know the ones. The pillars endure, sadly.<\/p>\n
