Lance Burton Celebrates Monte Carlo Reopening!
February 15, 2008
Lance Burton’s show is up and running again at The Monte Carlo following a fire at the hotel. While there was no damage to Lance’s theater or props, the show has been down for the past 3 weeks. Just in time for the 3 day President’s weekend, Lance is back and ready to do what he does best.

“Legendary” is how Lance Burton is going to be remembered in magic history. He doesn’t get publicity because he showed up at a nightclub or hangs around with has-been celebrities. He gets publicity because he’s a great magician. Several days ago we reported that Lance entertained Monte Carlo guests in the lobby of the hotel after the fire when they were able to go back in to reclaim personal items. Today we found in the Las Vegas Review Journal this story:
“Master magician Lance Burton performs an illusion with Monte Carlo worker Francis Espirito during a lunch break this week. He has been entertaining employees who are working to reopen the Monte Carlo after an exterior fire forced the property to temporarily close last Friday.”
Going back into magic history and reading about Harry Blackstone Sr. Thurston, & Houdini - these are the stories you would read. Great magicians who could do their magic anytime, anywhere. Lance is a nice guy and he’s continuing a tradition of past masters.
Lance Burton Hoping To Start Soon

Since the fire at The Monte Carlo last week in Vegas, Lance Burton’s show has been down. While the fire was contained to upper floors of the hotel and his show was not affected, he hasn’t been able to resume his regular performance schedule.
Lance is hoping to resume shows this Thursday, but has not had confirmation. He told Robin Leach of Vegas Luxe Life “He tells me he checked every square inch of his theater and “all is fine and ready to go.”
When evacuated guests were permitted to retrieve their belongings, Lance did magic tricks in the lobby to entertain them.
You never know when your street magic skills will come in handy!
