The show will run two times per night, five nights a week, at the Luxor Theater. Each performance is 75 minutes.<\/p>\n

They will include acrobats, comedians, dancers, magicians, singers, and other entertainers. It will feature new performers, as well as limited-engagement special acts.<\/p>\n

The show will run Wednesday through Sunday at 7 pm and 9:30 pm performances. Tickets start at $49. A package is also available starting at $159, which includes a ticket, backstage tour, and a meet-and-greet with select cast members.<\/p>\n

Casinos Provide Non-Gaming Entertainment<\/h2>\n

When asked about the new show at the MGM Resorts International property, the Rev. Richard McGowan, a finance professor at Boston College who closely follows the casino sector, said he is not surprised by the AGT spinoff appearing in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Once again, this shows that the casino business is certainly not exclusively about gambling,\u201d McGowan told Casino.org<\/em>. \u201cBut it also needs to entertain its customers. This show is one that the typical customer knows well, and\u00a0enjoys.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He adds the show \u201cfits well into the type of entertainment that MGM would like to display.<\/p>\n

\u201cA 75-minute show allows the customer to gamble afterwards and enjoy the rest of the night,\u201d McGowan added.<\/p>\n

AGT Alumni Perform in Vegas<\/h2>\n

Among the past AGT successful contestants who went on to appear in Las Vegas is Terry Fator. He does impressions, sings, and is a ventriloquist. In 2008, Fator agreed to a five-year deal at The Mirage for a record-setting $100 million.<\/p>\n

In 2013, the contract was renewed for multiple years. Fator is now performing at New York-New York Hotel & Casino in a show called \u201cWho’s the Dummy Now?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Also, Shin Lim, a magician who appeared on AGT, later performed at Paris Las Vegas and had a residency at the Terry Fator Theater at The Mirage.<\/p>\n

Another magician, Mat Franco, won AGT and later appeared at the LINQ in Las Vegas. Singer Michael Grimm won AGT and then appeared in a show at Caesars Palace<\/a> in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Piff the Magic Dragon, a comic magician, also appeared on AGT. It was followed by a show at The Flamingo.<\/p>\n

The iconic Simon Cowell, executive producer and creator of the \u201cGot Talent\u201d brand, said in a statement that \u201cever since we launched America\u2019s Got Talent,<\/em> it\u2019s always been my dream to have America\u2019s Got Talent Live in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am beyond thrilled that this is now going to happen. And extremely proud to be working with MGM and to have the Luxor Hotel as our home.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cowell\u2019s Syco Entertainment owns such global TV brands as \u201cGot Talent\u201d and \u201cThe X Factor.\u201d AGT and The X Factor are broadcast in more than 180 countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
