Michael Jackson Fan Fest Showcases Never-Before-Seen Memorabilia and Interactive Fan Experiences for a Limited Time in Las Vegas
Exhibit Opens December 3-14 Alongside December Las
Vegas Debut of “THE IMMORTAL World Tour”
Peek inside the interior of the 1999 Rolls-Royce
Seraph limousine Michael designed himself with 24-karat gold embellishments,
then check out the 10-foot-tall statue created for the HIStory tour. Get the
feel of Michael’s music videos by wandering through the spaceship set used in
“Scream,” sit in the actual throne from the Egyptian-themed set of “Remember the
Time,” then stand before the hostile tank from the live concert performance of
“Earth Song.”
Never has there been an artist like Michael Jackson
and never has there been a more intimate and personal glimpse into the career
and life of the King of Pop than what will be assembled during the first-ever
Estate-authorized Michael Jackson Fan Fest™. Scheduled for December 3-14 at Mandalay Bay Resort

McClain.
