Shin Lim, the magician behind the Mirage’s popular longtime magic show, “Limitless,” has officially found a new home in the Venetian’s Palazzo Theatre.
“Limitless” is one of several attractions at the decades-old Mirage forced to either end or relocate ahead of the Las Vegas Strip property’s closure, as it prepares for a rebrand into the new Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and Guitar Hotel Las Vegas.
“We’re honored to move Limitless to the larger and newly renovated The Palazzo Theatre and to have an opportunity to build a new set after so many amazing years getting to entertain fans at The Mirage,” Lim said in a statement Wednesday. “We’ve been hard at work on an all-new show, and we can’t wait to welcome fans this fall.”
The “America’s Got Talent” alumni has been a Strip staple since his arrival to Las Vegas in 2019, and has “redefined the way close-up magic is presented” through his routines, according to a Wednesday release from the Venetian.
Tickets remain available on Ticketmaster for “Limitless” at the Mirage through July 14, just days before the resort is slated to officially close its doors for a yearslong renovation.
Tickets for Lim’s residency at the Venetian go on sale as early as next month, with his debut at the resort set for October, Wednesday’s release said.
“Shin Lim has been mesmerizing audiences in Las Vegas since 2019 and we cannot wait for our guests to experience the magic of Limitless,” Patrick Nichols, president and CEO of The Venetian Resort Las Vegas, said in a statement. “Limitless fills out the entertainment programming in our four theatres creating the most diverse entertainment under one roof on the Las Vegas Strip.”
Lim is just one of many performers displaced by the purchase of the Mirage by Hard Rock International, owned by the Seminole Tribe of Florida, which obtained the property from MGM Resorts International in 2022 in a more than $1 billion cash transaction.
The Mirage’s iconic Cirque Du Soleil show, the Beatles “LOVE,” and Center Stage Comedy appear to both close by July 6, based on ticket sales available on Ticketmaster.
Officials announced last month that the Mirage will temporarily shut down July 17 to undergo its rebranding to Hard Rock, which will include the construction of a nearly 700-foot guitar-shaped hotel tower, an expansion of the property’s number of hotel rooms and other spaces and the removal of the property’s historic volcano show.
The new resort is projected to open in spring 2027, officials have said.
