Lion King Comes to Las Vegas

Posted by Jennifer W. Miner Oct 4, 2008

The Lion King is taking up permanent residency in Las Vegas! Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino is the lucky location for this sure-to-be sellout show. This is Walt Disney Company's first time setting up a long-term interest in Las Vegas, and it's hard to imagine a better fit; the visual artistry of The Lion King on Broadway is well-known (it made me cry, and I'm a cynical old gal). Naturally, most tourists plan vacations in Las Vegas to try their hand at the poker tables - or the slot machines, a worse gamble. It's nice to know that the art and culture in Las Vegas provides a welcome break from losing your shirt there.
