“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,” states 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.”

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 and directed the acclaimed Cirque du Soleil Michael Jackson ONE at Mandalay Bay.

“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,” says Ricky Martin.

Park Theater will serve as the gateway to the already vibrant entertainment district along the renowned Las Vegas Strip, complementing the recently opened T-Mobile Arena, the adjacent two-acre Toshiba Plaza and The Park. The new 5,200-seat 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.
