“We have spent many hours selecting just the right performers to impress our patrons and attract new audiences. This year’s lineup features some of Rock-n-Roll’s greatest names and is sure to appeal to all age groups.”
Kicking off the series is “King Creole – The Champion Elvis Tribute” on July 16, starring award-winning performer Matt Cage. Cage has performed in “Las Vegas in All Shook Up: A Tribute to the King” at the Strip’s famed Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino, and the play “Million Dollar Quartet”.
