Las Vegas to Begin Live Show on the Strip
“Absinthe” at Caesars Palace and Piff the Magic Dragon at Flamingo were the first Las Vegas shows to announce their return to the Strip this month. “X Country” at Harrah’s became the first casino show to perform in front of a live audience last week after more than seven months of shuttered showrooms and theaters due to the pandemic.
Live Entertainment in Las Vegas
All three productions take place at Caesars Entertainment resort properties and the company’s President of Entertainment Jason Gastwirth said it was important to get such entertainment programming, “the lifeblood of Las Vegas,” back in business as quickly as possible.
“This is something we’ve been preparing for, for months, and as soon as we could get a show up and running when it was allowable, we would look to do so. Once the guidelines were established a few weeks ago, that got things in motion,” he said. “We’re very proud of the four shows we’ve got on the books right now and hopefully there will be more to come after that.”
Caesars Entertainment Show Coming Back
In addition to the “X Country” return on Oct. 22 and this week’s planned reopenings of “Absinthe” on Wednesday and Piff on Thursday, Caesars Entertainment also announced the return of Tape Face at Harrah’s on Nov. 11. Ticket information can be found at caesars.com/shows.
Las Vegas Health and Safety Guidelines for Live Events
All live entertainment offerings follow guidelines set forth by health and government authorities and implement Caesars’ health and safety protocols including verbal health screenings and non-contact temperature checks for guests, modified seating for social distancing, mandatory masks for guests and staff and limited capacities. The state’s updated safety guidelines announced on September 29 restrict audiences to a maximum of 250 people or 50% of the venue’s capacity, whichever is less.
