‘LEGENDS IN CONCERT’ FINALIZING PLANS FOR NEW LAS VEGAS HOME TO
CELEBRATE ITS 30th ANNIVERSARY IN 2013
World’s Greatest Tribute Show Concluding Exceptional Four-Year
Engagement at Harrah’s Las Vegas at year’s end
Legends in Concert, the most acclaimed tribute show in entertainment history, announced today that after a record-breaking four-year engagement at Harrah’s Las Vegas, Caesars Entertainment and Legends have mutually agreed that the tribute spectacular’s last performance at the casino hotel will take place Sunday, December 30, 2012.
“Legends in Concert would like to thank Caesars Entertainment for an incredible mutually beneficial partnership at Harrah’s Las Vegas,” said Brian Brigner, chief operating officer of On Stage Entertainment, producers of Legends. “We will continue to enjoy our extraordinary multi-year, multi-dimensional association at Bally’s Atlantic City, while exploring other opportunities with them.” Brigner added, “We are finalizing and will soon announce plans for the next chapter of our enduring success story, as the flagship version of our production selects its new Las Vegas home to celebrate its 30th anniversary in the Entertainment Capital of the World.”
Many shows have come and gone, but the lasting success of the Legends in Concert brand is due in large part to the loyalty and commitment of the Las Vegas community. “It is the unwavering support of the local fans, ticket agents and brokers, concierges, entertainment publications and local and national media, whose consistent support has helped make Legends the longest-running independently owned production show in Las Vegas. We wish everyone at Harrah’s Las Vegas well and best of luck in the future including all their current and future entertainment offerings,” said Connie Clark, Assistant General Manager of Legends Las Vegas production. Clark added, “The Legends family is pleased to give back to the local community and to honor those who have long championed our show, with an array of wonderful festivities planned for next year during our pearl anniversary season.”
