Entertainment Explosion at
Belz Factory Outlet World - Las Vegas

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (August 24, 1997) - Belz Factory Outlet World in Las Vegas has come to be known not only for its great shopping but also its first class entertainment. This summer the green food court has had a line up better than any theater on Broadway. In the past month, mini-revues have converted the green food court into a stage of glitz and glitter.

On August 9th, members of the cast of New York, New York Casino preformed a mini-rendition of the their hottest new show MadHatten. Crowds of shoppers gathered that day to enjoy the New York style street performance featuring Acapulco songs from the hit musical.

Belz Factory Outlet World was one of four locations in Las Vegas that will be featured on an upcoming ABC fall special, "Home Invasion." Penn and Teller, comic magicians, made a stop at the mall on August 12th to film a segment of the television special. Shoppers at the mall became instant stars as Penn and Teller recruited bystanders to be a part of their hilarious magic tricks.

"Shoppers and merchants alike had a ball at the Penn and Teller magic show, says Andrew J. Groveman, president of Belz Factory Outlet World division. "We look forward to another opportunity like that one in the future."

The fun doesn't stop there. This September another new mini-revue will be featured in the green food court at Belz Factory Outlet World. Sexy Magic, the mystical new show at Lady Luck Casino will make a stop by the mall on September 20th. Steve Wyrick, the talented magician of Sexy Magic, will bring his assistant and his loveable friends, Pierre, the teacup poodle, and Lola, the performing duck. The show promises amazing magic tricks, illusions and entertaining dance routines.

"Belz strives to offer a little something extra at all of the Factory Outlet World locations. Las Vegas is an entertainment mecca and we like to draw upon that resource by involving the mall, shoppers and the community of Las Vegas," says Groveman.
