The Palazzo Launches New Weekend Comedy Series, Filling Gap Left by Mirage’s Closing
This move aligns with The Palazzo’s recent shift toward hosting comedy and magic performances, including Shin Lim’s magic production. “We want to focus on comedy because the technical limitations with Shin Lim’s show in there kind of puts music on the back burner,” said Live Nation Las Vegas Talent Buyer Jesse Summers via the Las Vegas Review Journal.
The Las Vegas comedy boom extends beyond The Palazzo, with major acts like Kevin Hart (Feb. 28-Mar. 1) and Bert Kreischer (Mar. 21-22) performing at Resorts World Theatre, while Matt Rife brings his Netflix-hyped stand-up to MGM Grand Garden on May 2. Meanwhile, Pete’ Big Elvis’ Vallee has returned triumphantly to the Piano Bar at Harrah’s after recovering from health issues.
The stand-up resurgence reflects a nationwide trend of comedy’s post-pandemic growth. A portion of proceeds from art sales at the event will benefit the American Red Cross, which will support wildfire victims in Los Angeles. In a separate event, Hollywood icon Lee Majors is making a public appearance at the Animazing Gallery to promote a new art piece inspired by the viral duct-taped banana artwork.
With a fresh lineup and a commitment to top-tier entertainment, The Palazzo’s comedy series is set to become a premier destination for stand-up in Las Vegas.
