Las Vegas' Mandalay Bay Casino and Resort will soon serve as the home to a slew of Michael Jackson attractions. Michael Jackson's estate has confirmed that the casino will construct a Michael Jackson-themed lounge and museum, and will serve as the host to a Cirque du Soleil show based on Jackson's iconic music and dance.
"My co-executor John McClain and I are thrilled to establish Michael's home away from home here at the Mandalay Bay. Very few fans would ever get to visit Michael's Neverland Ranch because of its remote location, but millions of Michael's fans can come to Mandalay Bay to hear Michael's music and experience Michael in many other ways," said co-executor of the Michael Jackson estate John Branca.
The Cirque du Soleil show will be titled The Immortal, and it will tour the country prior to setting up permanent residency at Mandalay bay. The show's creator Jamie King promises that will give fans a glimpse at Michael's life including the time he spent at Neverland Ranch.
"In this traveling show you'll actually be able to experience Neverland," said King. "[the ranch] really come to life before your eyes in an arena. So that's the setting, that's the environment and that's what we're making happen during the next six months."
The show will begin its tour on December 2011 and will stop in more than 47 stops before setting up shop. Complete details on the tour are available on the show's official webpage (http://www.cirquedusoleil.com/en/shows/michael-jackson-tour/default.aspx)
