Desert
Productions invites Las Vegas to bring their singing, dancing, magic and other
variety-act talents to the Suncoast Showroom stage for “Las Vegas Has Talent!,”
a free variety show that begins Tuesday, February 18.
Each
Tuesday for 12 weeks, top local talents selected from an online applicant pool
will face off in a free, 2 p.m. show at the Suncoast Showroom. Each show will be hosted by multi-talented
Las Vegas local Doug Starks of “The Rat Pack is Back” at the Sahara Hotel &
Casino.
“We’re
excited to host Las Vegas Has Talent!, a unique and engaging show that will
showcase new and rising talents throughout the Las Vegas Valley,” said Terry
Jenkins, corporate director of entertainment for Boyd Gaming.
In
order to compete, contestants must sign up in advance at
DesertProductionsLV.com, on the Las Vegas Has Talent page. All contestants must
be 18 years of age or older. Applications will be accepted through April 8; the
sooner applicants submit their materials, the sooner they will be selected for
performance in the early rounds of competition. Applications will be screened
for quality of performance, originality, stage presence and audience appeal;
selected applicants will be contacted to coordinate the date of their featured
performance.
At
initial competition rounds, six contestants will face off for the right to
advance to the quarterfinals. Contestants will be judged on quality of
performance, originality, stage presence and audience applause, with three
performers selected each week to advance in the competition. A panel of
surprise celebrity guest judges and audience applause are the deciding factors
of who moves on in the competition. Quarterfinal shows will occur every third
week throughout the twelve week run with three of the quarter finalists moving
on to the semi-final competition, to be held on April 29.
Six
semifinalists will then face off in a final showdown on Tuesday, May 6, where
one grand prize winner will receive a $1,000 cash prize and a chance to make a
guest appearance in the Suncoast’s long-running variety show, Variety at The
Suncoast. Variety at The Suncoast starts at 2pm every Thursday at the Suncoast
Showroom.
Audience
members must 21 or over and have a B Connected card to attend.
