Michael Jackson mania is about to be unleashed in Vegas.
The Michael Jackson Experience exhibit will be on display Sept. 8 through Dec. 27 at Madame Tussauds at the Venetian hotel-casino. The exhibit precedes by a couple of months "The Immortal World Tour," a Cirque du Soleil show that celebrates the late King of Pop, which is headed to Mandalay Bay in December.
The Tussauds exhibit will highlight various stages of Jackson’s career with three wax figures.
To celebrate the arrival of the exhibit, Madame Tussauds is offering free admission to anyone who shares a birthday with Jackson. For the length of the exhibition, anyone born on Aug. 29 will receive one free ticket with the purchase of an adult general admission ticket. Visitors must show photo ID with their birth date at the box office in order to get the free admission.
The Immortal World Tour, meanwhile, is set for the Mandalay Bay hotel-casino from Dec. 3 to 27. It will also feature the Michael Jackson Fan Fest, an interactive attraction with Jackson memorabilia, items from his Neverland Ranch, re-created sets from his videos, a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the show, question-and-answer sessions with tour organizers, giveaways and more.
Fan Fest will take place in Mandalay’s Bayside Exhibit Halls for four hours prior to each show from Dec. 3 to 14. Ticket and session information are available at www.michaeljacksonfanfest.com.
Mandalay Bay will also be home to the Michael Jackson Lounge and a permanent Cirque du Soleil show dedicated to Jackson.
