New “Love for Locals” Offer Includes 35% Off Tickets to “MÜS.I.C.” at Monte Carlo Resort and Casino, Beginning 12/6

Jabbawockeez, the world-famous dance crew, will offer a new “Love for Locals” deal to the groundbreaking show “MÜS.I.C.” at Monte Carlo Resort and Casino.  Beginning Monday, December, 6, locals who present a valid Nevada ID will receive 35% off tickets.  The new “Love for Locals” offer is subject to availability and certain restrictions may apply.  Described as an audio-visual story of inspiration brought to life through the harmonization of sound and movement, “MÜS.I.C.” is a show the entire family can enjoy. Hailed by critics as “AMAZING!” and “One of the hottest acts in the nation,” Jabbawockeez perform “MÜS.I.C” Thursday – Saturday at 9:30 p.m. and Sunday-Monday at 7:30 p.m.

Jabbawockeez has developed a one-of-a-kind style that has not only provided a new culture to the dance industry, but changed the way people view dance. Dressed in expressionless white masks and white gloves, they guide the audience’s attention away from individual identities and toward a unified group to create a canvas for the audience to visualize the music by painting artistic imagery through their intricate moves. After being crowned the original champions of MTV’s “Randy Jackson Presents America’s Best Dance Crew,” the group’s unmatched talent and captivating style quickly became a fan favorite even reaching international fame. They have appeared on numerous television shows including “Dancing With The Stars,” “So You Think You Can Dance,” “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” “Regis & Kelly,” “The TODAY Show,” “E! News,” “America’s Next Top Model” and “MTV.”

Tickets beginning at $49, not including applicable service charges and taxes, are on-sale and are available at any Monte Carlo box office outlet.
