LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Some major headliners are headed back to the Las Vegas Strip.
Tickets are currently on sale for David Copperfield at the MGM Grand, Carrot Top at the Luxor, Australian Bee Gees and Thunder From Down Under at the Excalibur.
“Fantasy” at the Luxor, Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club and the Jabbawockeez's show at the MGM Grand are also reopening.
The news is bringing excitement for performers.
“I jumped for joy, my hair was crooked to the side, looking like a hot mess.”
Lorena Peril is the lead singer for "Fantasy." She hasn’t performed on stage at the Luxor since March and wondered when she could again. Now, she’s ready for the audience.
LIST: Shows, conventions returning to Las Vegas valley
“I’m going to be like that bull coming out of the cage and when that curtain opens up, I’m just going to come in,” she said.
For Adam Steck, the co-owner of “Thunder from Down Under," he says the show is prepared for anything.
“We’ve toured all over the world. We’ve played in some venues in the south of America that had very strict laws where you couldn’t go into the audience. Guys couldn’t take their clothes off on stage,” he said.
Anthony Curtis, the owner of Lasvegasadvisor.com, says this is a good step forward for Las Vegas.
“Maybe it might not be that financially viable or maybe it’s just kind of close to a break-even situation, but the perception that entertainment is back in Las Vegas is very important for this city,” he said.
Financial analyst Steve Budin says if MGM’s roll out is successful, other Strip properties may follow.
“If they see this begin to work on the MGM’s properties, there’s no reason, at least competitively, why they wouldn’t want to open their shows as well,” he said.
Peril says she expects the same energy from the audience.
“To be one of the first seven to open up, I mean it’s going to be a big celebration,” she said.
Performances begin on Nov. 6. Only 250 people will be allowed at each show with strict COVID-19 safety procedures, including masks and the new 25-foot rule (audiences can not be within 25 feet of a performer).
