By the way, Bruno Mars has doubled down on Las Vegas with his new Pinky Ring lounge at Bellagio, which was unveiled over Super Bowl weekend. Among the celebrity friends in attendance: Janelle Monáe, Babyface, T-Pain, Victoria Monét, Gayle King, Wilmer Valderrama and Karrueche Tran, with Monáe, Babyface, Monét and others joining Mars and his band The Hooligans onstage to perform a selection of the pop star’s hits. The Pinky Ring officially opened on Feb. 12 and it’s open in the central Bellagio casino for cocktails and entertainment Sunday through Thursday from 5 p.m. until 2 a.m., and Friday and Saturday from 5 p.m. until 3 a.m.
The Conjurors, a new show fusing magic, mind-reading and storytelling, opens this week at the Venue at the Orleans. Entertainers Matthew Pomeroy and Natasha Lamb star in the show, opening on Feb. 24 and set to take the stage Thursday through Tuesday at 6 p.m. Tickets start at $39 and can be purchased at theconjurors.co.uk.
The iconic Blue Man Group is changing up its show at Luxor. On March 6, the long-running production is retiring the classic act known as “The Feast,” wherein an audience member participates in a special dining experience onstage — a segment that also required the “poncho seating” portion of the audience. Yes, it tends to get messy. With that act’s exit, something new will be introduced into the show starting on March 7 that also includes audience participation. Tickets for the show, performing nightly at 5 and 8 p.m., are available at blueman.com.
