You’ll feel MJ’s energy from your seat at Harrah’s Las Vegas as top tribute performers bring his biggest hits to life. Sing along with fans from all walks of life, dance if you want (no judgment), and soak up that classic Vegas buzz — all with your show ticket included.
“You gotta let yourself move — that’s what Michael would want!” That’s what our usher said as we shuffled into the Harrah’s Theater, and honestly, I took it as permission. The crowd was already buzzing, a weird mix of sequined jackets and families with sleepy kids (one little guy had a single glove — made me smile). The lights were low but you could smell popcorn and something sweet, maybe those candy nuts they sell in the lobby. I’d been to Vegas before but never for a show like this.
The performer came out in full MJ mode — hat, white socks, all of it — and just nailed “Billie Jean.” I mean, even the way he snapped his fingers felt right. Our local guide from earlier in the day had told us these tribute artists train for years; I didn’t really get it until I saw him moonwalk across the stage. Everyone around me started singing along, even the grumpy-looking guy two seats over. There was this moment during “Man in the Mirror” where people actually swayed together, strangers bumping elbows but not caring. It was loud but kind of tender too, if that makes sense.
I tried to do some of the moves (not well), and my friend caught me on video — probably blackmail material now. Li laughed when I tried to sing along to “Smooth Criminal,” which is fair because I can’t hit those high notes at all. By “Thriller,” half the theater was up dancing or at least pretending to do zombie arms. You don’t have to be a superfan; it just sort of pulls you in. Even after we left Harrah’s Las Vegas and stepped out into that dry desert night air, my ears were ringing and I kept humming “Black or White.” Funny how music sticks with you longer than you expect.
