LAS VEGAS, Nov. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- One of the
most intriguing and impactful entertainers of all time, multiple
GRAMMY® Award-winning artist Ricky
Martin will begin his Las
Vegas headlining residency at the new Park Theater at Monte
Carlo on April 5, 2017.
"This is an exciting time for MGM Resorts as we add multiple
GRAMMY Award-winner and international superstar Ricky Martin to our tremendous Park Theater and
The Theater at MGM National Harbor entertainment lineup in 2017,"
said Bill Hornbuckle, president of
MGM Resorts International. "Ricky is one of the most talented,
high-energy performers in the world and we look forward to a
long-term relationship with him as he brings his new shows to our
two venues."
After performing in all seven continents over the last three
years around the globe, Martin is well-known for his high-energy
and thrilling performances that have captivated millions of people
throughout the world.
Martin's one-of-a-kind show, promoted by Live Nation and MGM
Resorts International, promises to thrill audiences with non-stop
entertainment. The dynamic show will be helmed by the
legendary director Jamie King, who
has directed over two dozen tours for superstars including Madonna,
Celine Dion, Britney Spears, Rihanna and most recently wrote

changes, making it one of the most exciting events to come to
Vegas, which will definitely leave you wanting more.
"I'm extremely excited to have my residency in Las Vegas; I have been thinking about it for
years and to see it become a reality is just an unbelievable
feeling. I've dedicated my entire life to the stage, and there is
nothing I want more than to create the best show of my career and
make it an unforgettable experience for each person that comes to
see me at the incredible Park Theater at Monte Carlo. Throughout my career, I
have been fortunate to be able to share my culture through music
while creating an exciting atmosphere where you have no choice but
to have the best time, to dance and sing until we all forget our
problems, to let go and be completely free...this new show will not
be the exception. I'm inspired, and I can't wait to show you what
we have in store," said Ricky
Martin.
He will also perform May 5 and 6
at MGM Resorts' new live entertainment venue on the East Coast, The

entertainment venue, with its state-of-the-art audio and visual
technology, will provide artists of diverse talents with a dynamic
space to create one-of-a-kind productions where every seat allows
guests to feel up close and personal. From comedy shows and
live concerts, to sporting events and award shows, Park Theater is
specially designed with the ability to transform seamlessly for any
occasion.
Park Theater is the first step in the recently announced
reimagination of Monte Carlo. The transformation, taking
place over the next two years, will include two distinct hotel
experiences – a Las Vegas version
of the Sydell Group's famed NoMad Hotel and the launch of a new
luxury hotel named Park MGM. Each hotel will feature fully
redesigned hotel guest rooms and innovative food & beverage
offerings, highlighted by Eataly, a vibrant Italian marketplace
with cafes, to-go counters and full-service restaurants
interspersed with high-quality products from sustainable Italian
and local producers.
MGM National Harbor, the $1.4
billion resort opening December
8 on the shore of the Potomac River in Maryland, will offer luxurious accommodations,
an unrivaled culinary program and an unrivaled entertainment lineup
in The Theater, which can accommodate 3,000 guests for
reserved-seating events and more than 4,000 for general admission
shows.
