MJ Live

The white glove comes on, the moon walk starts, and you find yourself screaming along with the rest of the audience as you see the pelvic thrusts. It's only a little while later that remind yourself that you aren’t actually at a Michael Jackson concert, but this is the next best thing on earth. Naturally it's in Las Vegas. The Rio is thrilling audiences with their MJ Live variety show that has young and old Michel fans singing along with Bad, Billie Jean, and Smooth Criminal.

While Elvis impersonations stole the show for several years in Vegas, Michael Jackson is the up and coming tribute act, and no one does this pop icon more justice than Sin City. The Rio has hired famed Michael Jackson impressionist, Michael Firestone to amaze and astound audiences with authentic hair, costumes, and personality that only the King of Pop has. This is not a lip-sync show; Michael Firestone prides himself on being the "real deal" and giving audiences a full Michael Jackson performance.

This hour-long show is great for all ages, but knowledge of MJ songs is a must. Tickets are budget friendly and make for a unique, light-hearted afternoon or evening for the whole family or one-of-a-kind date.
