Big Cats are Back! Magician Dirk Arthur brings new show to #Vegas Strip opening Dec 1 @RivieraLasVegas

Magician Dirk Arthur announces his return to the Las Vegas Strip with a new show, Dirk Arthur’s Wild Illusions! In the new show,  “big cat” magic is interwoven with comedy, dancers and large-scale effects. Dirk Arthur’s Wild Illusions! is set to open at the Starlite Theatre inside the Riviera Hotel & Casino on
December 1.

“I’m so excited to bring big cats back to Las Vegas and especially the famed Las Vegas Strip where majestic white tigers truly first gained worldwide attention. Debuting ‘Wild Illusions’ at the Riviera Hotel & Casino is an amazing highlight in my career,” said Arthur. “I know the Riviera is a pet friendly hotel so I’m thrilled that includes cats of all breeds and sizes.”

Arthur is a leading advocate of preserving endangered species and for the humane and proper care of all animals of the world. To that end, 100 percent of the proceeds from merchandise sales at his show will be donated to various animal care and conservation programs, animal sanctuaries and developing educational programs in schools to create awareness for endangered animal preservation.

“Magic has been a mainstay in our entertainment family for quite some time. The combination of Dirk’s magnificent illusions featuring big cats and the Riviera’s rich entertainment history will create a stellar, one-of-a-kind experience for our guests,” said Alex Rangel, Riviera Hotel & Casino’s Vice President of Marketing and Entertainment. “We’re honored to bring this degree of entertainment to the north end of the Strip.”

Dirk Arthur’s Wild Illusions! will run Saturday through Thursday at 7 p.m. (dark Fridays).
