About Rick Thomas
Rick Thomas, along with his beautiful white tigers, who have been delighting Las Vegas audiences and wowing critics for over a decade, announced that he is returning to the Strip at the end of his World Tour and will begin performing nightly at the Sahara Theatre starting July 16, 2009. Thomas’ unique style of magic and captivating stage presence has earned him many honors including “Illusionist of the Year” by the Theatre Excellence Awards, “Stage Magician of the Year” by the World Magic Awards and magic’s highest honor, “Magician of the Year” by the Academy of Magical Arts.
The Sahara Theatre has been host to some of the greatest performers of all time and Thomas, who became a professional magician when he was only 13, certainly qualifies to stand in the spotlight alongside Sahara legends such as The Beatles, Liberace, Frank Sinatra, Elvis, Judy Garland, Louis Prima, and many others. The Sahara is dedicated to making entertainment history, now as ever before, by pairing with the iconic and wildly popular magic man.
“Rick Thomas is going to be a great addition to the Sahara,” said Bill Tremper, Vice President of Marketing and Sales for the Sahara. “The Sahara was built on an incredible history of entertainment with headliners like the Rat Pack and Elvis. Rick Thomas is a renowned Las Vegas Strip Iconic performer and a crowd pleaser that national audiences will be talking about for years to come.”
Rick Thomas is best known for reinventing the modern magic show with a stage presence that is unmatched, even in a city of world-class magicians. He is the epitome of tall, dark and handsome and moves across the stage with grace as he fuses his illusions with elements of dance, performance art and the appearance (and disappearance) of a family of white Bengal tigers. “Tigers have been missing on the Las Vegas strip for some time,” says Thomas, and he is thrilled to “reintroduce these beautiful animals to our great city.” As a teenager Thomas was named a National Ballroom Dance Champion, which accounts for his moves on stage and the spectacular choreography of his lovely assistants as they overwhelm the laws of physics with seemingly impossible feats.
Celebrating 55 years on the northern end of the famed Las Vegas Strip, the Sahara Hotel and Casino is a desert jewel rich with history and nostalgia. Since 1952, the Sahara hotel and casino has been a refuge for glitzy entertainment, exhilarating casino action, sumptuous dining and relaxing poolside decadence. The last remaining "Rat Pack" resort, the Sahara was the setting for the original "Ocean's Eleven" film and has played host to everyone from The Beatles to Dean Martin to Marilyn Monroe. The legendary Sahara offers guests the opportunity to experience classic Vegas at its best, at one of the last-standing properties of its era.
