The long-struggling \u201cAmerica\u2019s Got Talent Presents Superstars Live\u201d is closing at Luxor on May 11, 2024.<\/p>\n
\u201cSuperstars Live\u201d features season winners, \u201cGolden Buzzer\u201d acts and popular contestants from the TV show, \u201cAmerica\u2019s Got Talent,\u201d also known as \u201cAGT.\u201d<\/p>\n
The show\u2019s most recent line-up is a cavalcade of acts you\u2019ve never heard of, includig Kodi Lee, Light Balance, Aaron Crow, The Silhouettes, Mervant Vera, Herwan Legaillard, Pack Drumline, Pandersonium and Human Fountains. Rotating hosts are Jordan Conley and Mike E. Winfield, whomever they might be.<\/p>\n This is the part where we claim to have been the first to share the rumor \u201cAGT\u201d could close.<\/p>\n If you were going to see \u201cAGT Live\u201d at Luxor, you should do that sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n \u2014 Vital Vegas (@VitalVegas) November 25, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Yes, that was in 2021. We are sharing the Tweet ironically. For the comedy-deficient, see, it\u2019s on-brand for us to brag about scoop. In this case, though, our source\u2019s information jumped the gun a smidge. The show opened at Luxor in Nov. 2021 and 2.5 years is a decent run in Las Vegas. So, making a reference to our premature Tweet is actually self-deprecation. In other words, humility, the thing for which we are most known and admired.<\/p>\n Thanks to our friend Sam Novak<\/a> at Vegas 411 for passing along the tip about the AGT show shuttering.<\/p>\n Some variety shows slay in Las Vegas, like \u201cAbsinthe,\u201d others not so much. (The producers of \u201cAbsinthe\u201d recently closed \u201cOPM\u201d at Cosmo because it was losing tens of thousands of dollars a week.) It\u2019s handy to be able to swap out acts, and unknowns cost less than headliners, which keeps production costs down.<\/p>\n Anyway, there\u2019s been no announcement about what might replace \u201cSuperstars Live.\u201d<\/p>\n If memory serves, this theater at Luxor hosted Chris Angel\u2019s shows (\u201cMindfreak Live\u201d and \u201cBelieve\u201d), and possibly \u201cR.U.N.,\u201d one of the biggest financial disasters in Las Vegas history. Let\u2019s not do that again.<\/p>\n It\u2019s pretty clear somebody at Cirque has access to editing Wikipedia<\/a>, because the page for \u201cR.U.N.\u201d says, \u201cThe show was retired as of March 8, 2020.\u201d \u201cRetired\u201d is the new \u201ctanked.\u201d<\/p>\n The page also says the show closed due to the pandemic, one of the more laughable statements in all of Wikipedia. The show died with COVID, not from it. It was losing $1.6 million per month, costing $60 million to produce. Here\u2019s the real story<\/a>.<\/p>\n Anyway, we\u2019re sure Luxor is hard at work seeking out a new show for its AGT theater.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a chance you could see AGT performers pop up elsewhere in Las Vegas, as a number of Strip acts got their start on the TV show. Alums include Piff the Magic Dragon (Flamingo), Mat Franco (Linq), Tape Face (MGM Grand), Shin Lim (Mirage) and Terry Fator (New York-New York until March 26, 2024, when the show will close).<\/p>\n The entertainment landscape is changing in Las Vegas, and only the strong will survive. Oh, and Gordie Brown, because he\u2019s friends with a billionaire.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/agt_rendering-845x563.jpg\"\/)
