The park will also begin its full-time operating schedule for this season on Friday, May 27.  Spending time enjoying the park’s more than 25 rides and attractions is the perfect way to beat the heat.

New Magic Show With Xavier Mortimer Coming To Las Vegas!


Las Vegas has long been the magic capitol of the world, featuring an array of diverse magicians ranging from Copperfield to Angel to Penn & Teller, Piff the Magic Dragon and newcomer Mat Franco.  Therefore, it takes a daring, fresh and fearless performer to throw their hat into the mix – and that’s exactly what French export Xavier Mortimer is doing.

After gracing stages in more than 30 countries, and most recently starring in Cirque du Soleil’s acclaimed show Michael Jackson ONE, Mortimer marks the first Cirque performer to launch a headlining show on the Las Vegas Strip.

The production – Xavier Mortimer’s Magical Dream – is unlike any other in Las Vegas. Audiences enter the Sin City Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino only to find themselves immediately transported into Mortimer’s dream world. Along with his unconventional cast of characters, who will make their public debut in the coming weeks, Mortimer takes the audience on an adventure they won’t soon forget.

“I wanted to create a show and experience with a strong sense of wonder and drama, but also mash it up with a universal kind of comedy that everyone will enjoy,” said Mortimer. “I have my hands in every aspect of this production. I created all the acts, I brought the characters to life, I even composed the majority of the music. This is me at my best, and I can’t wait to show everyone what my dream world looks and feels like.”

With illusions and talents that defy simple explanation, the 70-minute performance – directed by fellow Frenchman and international celebrity Alex Goude – poetically unfolds through more than 14 acts. With the wonder of Mary Poppins, the theatrics of Charlie Chaplin, and an array of talents unique to himself, this all-ages production transcends what you thought you knew about Las Vegas entertainment.

At once funny, daring, inspirational and immersive, Xavier Mortimer’s Magical Dream is the key that opens the door to a hidden world of magic you never knew you were missing.

Xavier Mortimer’s Magical Dream will perform 6 nights per week (Wednesdays dark) at 7 p.m. in the Sin City Theater beginning June 6, 2016. Tickets will be made available via www.ticketmaster.com.

The property is encircled by Miracle Mile Shops with more than 170 specialty stores and restaurants. For more information, please visit planethollywoodresort.com.

Headed by Shawn Giordano, the food truck will offer a unique menu of seaside street food inspired by classic California cuisine, such as ahi tuna poke lettuce wraps, crispy rice paper tacos and lobster rolls. Giordano comes to the Plaza with decades of culinary experience, beginning his career over 20 years ago working for Wolfgang Puck opening Spago in Beverly Hills and Trattoria del Lupo at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino then as private chef to famed photographer, Annie Leibovitz, and most recently, heading up the kitchen at downtown Las Vegas eatery PublicUs.

The Plaza will celebrate the Pool’s official grand opening with festivities throughout the July Fourth holiday weekend, starting with a weekend-long BBQ beginning at 11 a.m. each day featuring entertainment from a local DJ.
