“Mystère” at Treasure Island is celebrating an unbelievable 30 years of performances on the Las Vegas Strip next month — more than 13,000 shows, to be a little more precise — and will mark the occasion with a special performance for guests and visitors on Las Vegas Boulevard in front of Siren’s Cove at TI on Tuesday at 4 p.m. The original Cirque du Soleil resident production on the Strip has been seen by more than 17 million fans since its premier at Christmastime in 1993 and continues to be one our very favorite Vegas shows.
The Composers Room opened this week in Commercial Center, an exciting new live entertainment venue from Pompey Entertainment that focuses on local and touring artists and musicians with some throwback, old-school Vegas vibes. A preview event Sunday at the 150-seat show lounge featured an impressive array of Las Vegas entertainers including Keith Thompson, Vincent John, Giada Valenti, Brent Barrett, Jimmy Hopper, Philip Fortenberry, Kelly Clinton, Ms. Monet, Stephanie Calvert, Vita Drew, Chadwick Johnson, Earl Turner, Travis Cloer and many more. Hopper performs again on Friday night and Jimmy Mulidore and his band take the stage Saturday. The Composers Room will operate Tuesday through Sunday from 1 p.m. until 1 a.m. and more info is available at thecomposersroom.com.

Spiegelworld will continue to operate the adjacent Superfrico restaurant as well as its other Strip shows, “Absinthe” at Caesars Palace and “Atomic Saloon Show” at Venetian, and the company is readying “Disco Show” for a summer launch at the Linq.
