Legends in Concert, the longest-running celebrity tribute show in the world, will celebrate 28 years of exciting crowds on the Las Vegas Strip on May 5. The show, which performs twice nightly, six nights per week in the Harrah’s Showroom at Harrah’s Las Vegas, will commemorate its anniversary by offering a special locals discount. Throughout the month of May, all Nevada residents are able to purchase a general admission ticket, regularly priced at $55.45, for only $28 (plus taxes and fees).

“It has been our privilege and pleasure for the past 28 years to showcase such enormously talented tribute artists and to give the public a venue in which they could enjoy their favorite musical superstars,” said Brian Brigner, chief operating officer for On Stage Entertainment, Inc. which produces the show. “It’s been a long road to get to this moment, but it’s been a great ride and we could not have accomplished it without our loyal fans.”

Featuring live re-creations of superstars of yesterday and today, backed by a live rockin’ band and the Legends singers and dancers, Legends in Concert is a one-of-a-kind experience. The show features such gone-but-not-forgotten greats as Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Liberace, Marilyn Monroe, Sammy Davis Jr. and many others. In late 1989, the show injected more pizzazz by also paying tribute to living superstars of the day with re-creations of Rod Stewart, Elton John, Steven Tyler, Stevie Wonder, Whoopi Goldberg, Cher, Madonna, and Britney Spears among others.

With an ever-changing line-up, elaborate theatrical sets and costumes, and a full array of incredible special effects, including three dimensional multimedia and state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems, Legends in Concert is truly a must-see show in Las Vegas for both visitors and locals.
