This free three-day extravaganza is a dream come true for Michael Jackson enthusiasts. It’ll offer a unique opportunity to not just listen to his iconic tunes, but to be fully enveloped in his musical universe. From August 27 to 29, The Shoppes at Mandalay Bay, nestled between the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino and the Luxor Hotel and Casino, will be transformed into a realm of Michael Jackson magic.

The event is designed to transport you beyond the mere realm of listening and into a multisensory adventure that channels the essence of Michael Jackson’s artistry.

But that’s not all – the celebration extends to the realm of social media and photography. Capture your immersive journey and share it with the world, giving your friends and fellow fans a taste of the magic you’ve experienced.

Celebrity Deaths 2023: Musicians, Entertainers & Cultural Figures We Lost

We’ve had to say goodbye to some big names this year in the worlds of entertainment, sports, politics and beyond. To be frank, it was an absolutely brutal year.

So many giants in music died in 2023. Guitar god Jeff Beck died suddenly in January at age 78 after contracting bacterial meningitis. In February, legendary songwriter Burt Bacharach died at age 94. Singer, actor and civil rights icon Harry Belafonte died in April at age 96 from congestive heart failure. In May, the world lost Tina Turner – the Queen of Rock ‘n Roll – at age 83. Iconic pop singer Tony Bennett died in July at age 96.

The worlds of television and film were not immune to significant loss in 2023. Sitcom mastermind Norman Lear died in December at age 101. Three’s Company star Suzanne Somers died in October at age 76 from an aggressive form of breast cancer. Matthew Perry also died in October. The Friends star was only 54. Bob Barker, longtime host of The Price is Right, died in August at age 99. Paul Reubens, best known for his character Pee-wee Herman, died in July at age 70 following a private battle with cancer.

The sports world was rocked by the deaths of three major wrestling figures. In June, The Iron Sheik (Hossein Khosrow Ali Vaziri) died at age 81. Then, in August, there were two back-to-back deaths. First, WWE Hall of Famer Terry Funk died at age 79. Funk’s hardcore style has been influential to generations of wrestlers that followed. Then, Bray Wyatt (Windham Rotunda) suddenly died at age 36. The young wrestler died after contracting COVID, which exacerbated a heart issue and led to a heart attack.
