“We have never been afraid to take risks, to evolve with bold ideas. Moreover, we must do this in Vegas,” Ross Mollison said.
From our friend Brock Radke at Las Vegas Weekly, with additional reporting from Don Chareunsy, editor of VegasPublicity.com:
“DiscoShow,” the most recent Spiegelworld production to hit the Las Vegas Strip, is set to close after a final performance on Saturday, Jan. 3, the company has announced. The interactive, music-fueled show at The Linq Hotel that pays homage to 1970s New York City made its debut in September 2024.
Tickets for remaining performances are on sale now at Spiegelworld.com. The show’s adjacent restaurant Diner Ross and bars 99 Prince and The Glitterloft will remain open for business.
In a statement, Spiegelworld “impresario extraordinaire” Ross Mollison said slow ticket sales were the key factor in the decision to close the reportedly $40 million show.
“We have never been afraid to take risks, to evolve with bold ideas. Moreover, we must do this in Vegas,” Mollison said. “This was a fantastic project for Vegas, and far from discouraged, I now feel even more optimistic about producing new ideas.
… Watching our guests fall in love with disco all over again was a career highpoint and will inform every new production we undertake, be it in Vegas or anywhere else in the world.” One highlight of “DiscoShow” when it opened was “RuPaul’s Drag Race” alumnus Eureka serving as the show’s emcee.
Spiegelworld continues to maintain “Absinthe” at Caesars Palace and “Atomic Saloon Show” at The Venetian on the Las Vegas Strip , as well as the Superfrico restaurant at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas and its new hit dinner show “The Party.”
From Don Chareunsy, editor of VegasPublicity.com: I attended “DiscoShow” on opening night and saw it two more times during its all-too-short run. I enjoyed Spiegelworld’s risk-taking and fun in “DiscoShow,” the cocktails in the adjoining lounges and dinner twice at Diner Ross. Gone too soon, “DiscoShow.”
