Award-winning, worldwide internet phenomenon Xavier Mortimer will be moving to The STRAT Hotel, Casino & SkyPod inside the refreshed STRAT Theater with his all-new show, “The Dream Maker,” opening Thursday, July 1.
Tickets are on sale now and are available at TheSTRAT.com.
The most-followed magician on the Las Vegas Strip, with more than five billion views online, 10 million followers and numerous appearances on TV shows such as America’s Got Talent, Masters of Illusion and Penn and Teller Fool Us, Mortimer is still the first ever Cirque Du Soleil featured performer to have his own headlining show on the Strip, taking the Las Vegas magic scene by storm.
Entering his fifth year headlining in Las Vegas, Xavier’s “The Dream Maker,” produced and directed by one of France’s most acclaimed theater directors and television hosts, Alex Goude, delivers a dynamic and visual, family-friendly production that can be enjoyed by audiences from around the world. Mortimer has added his own touch to magic by creating a show with creative and original illusions, comedy and a poetic storyline.
“There’s nothing like performing in front of a live audience and I am thrilled to finally be able to get back on stage in Las Vegas after a 15-month break,” said Mortimer. “Plus, I’ll be bringing some of my top online illusions to the stage for the first time in our new home at The STRAT. This will be an all-new, updated show that will be more magical and entertaining than ever.”
“Xavier Mortimer is an incredible talent and we’re thrilled to announce he’ll be part of the spectacular entertainment lineup SPI Entertainment is curating for The STRAT,” said Golden Entertainment, Inc.’s Senior Vice President of Marketing and Entertainment Brad Goldberg. “His mesmerizing illusions have attracted people around the globe – leading to video views in the billions. We are excited to host his captivating show, where he will enthrall audiences of all ages.”
As part of creating the new show, Goude and Mortimer have reimagined everything from the storyline to the lights, music and videos, all to adapt to this much bigger and impressive room at The STRAT. The production also features the talents of Allie Sparks as “Belle” and Nicholas Marco as “Hypnos,” a new character in the show.
“As a producer, moving to The STRAT is incredibly exciting as it allows us to go from a 250-seat space to a 600-seat theater that will give us the artistic ability to maximize Xavier’s incredible success online,” said Goude. “As a director, it has been really fun and fascinating to rework the most famous of Xavier’s magical videos and to include them in the new show so people can see them live, up close and personal, with no CGI tricks, right in front of their eyes.”
“I am really excited to have Xavier Mortimer as our first new production to be presented at The STRAT,” said Adam Steck of SPI Entertainment, a global theatrical production company who along with SR. VP Alex Schechter program and operate The STRAT Theater. “Combining the property’s incredible new surroundings with Xavier’s massive and constantly growing online audience is sure to make this partnership pure magic.”
During the pandemic, Mortimer took to social media with his illusions while his live show was temporarily shut down so that he could continue to bring his magic to fans around the world. Some of these videos broke records, one of them being the most viewed video worldwide on Facebook in June 2020 with more than 354 million views. In all, Mortimer received more than five billion views on social media as of May 2021, and more than 10 million followers in one year – a record for any magician in the world. With this new visibility, Mortimer caught the eye of numerous celebrities, including multi-platinum selling singer, songwriter and recording artist Jason Derulo, who reached out to collaborate on mind-blowing videos that took TikTok and Instagram by storm, garnering nearly 75 million views.
