Monte Carlo Casino and MGM Resorts announce that comedian/impressionist Frank Caliendo is leaving the Las Vegas Strip to focus on family and other projects.
Citing the demands of commuting to his home and away from his young family in Phoenix, Caliendo will perform his final show at Monte Carlo this spring. The impressionist became Monte Carlo’s headliner in October 2009.
“Performing at Monte Carlo is an experience I won’t soon forget. From day one, the support from the staff and fans has been amazing,” says Caliendo. “However, the demands of traveling from Phoenix and away from my family have been harder than I anticipated. With this move, I hope to take advantage of opportunities in television and film that will allow me to spend more time as a husband and a father.”
“Frank has become a part of the Monte Carlo family over the last year,” said Anton Nikodemus, president & COO of Monte Carlo. “We absolutely love having him here, as have our guests, but we understand that family should always come first. We wish Frank every happiness and thank him for the time spent with us.”
Tickets for the remaining shows are on sale now and can be purchased at the Monte Carlo Box Office and by visiting www.montecarlo.com.
