BEACHER'S MADHOUSE to Return to MGM Grand Hotel & Casino in December

Legendary showman Jeff Beacher, creator and host of Beacher's Madhouse, will make a triumphant return to Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino beginning December 2013. With the energy of a circus and the atmosphere of an A-list Hollywood party, the world's most outrageously sexy and over-the-top Vaudeville-inspired show will reach new heights of madness. Beacher, who Rolling Stone magazine declared the "Best Showman on the Strip," is best known for his ability to push the boundaries of sexuality, entertainment and fantasy. "Expect the unexpected. I'm going to take the Madhouse and live entertainment to new levels with never-before-seen acts. And there's no better place to do this than at the famed MGM Grand," said Beacher.

Guests will be taken on a sensory journey into the unconventional world of Beacher's Madhouse from the moment they first enter the 8,500-square-foot performance theatre. To join the madness, experience seekers enter the theatre through an inconspicuous speakeasy-like passageway hidden behind a library bookcase, and travel through a tunnel leading them from their ordinary existence into a fantasy-filled realm filled with world-renowned spectacles and all-new dramatic performances.

Known for stretching the boundaries of imagination, Beacher's Madhouse is the stomping ground for Hollywood's elite. Guests have included Johnny Depp, Fergie and Josh Duhamel, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Kim Kardashian, David Beckham, Kelly Osbourne, Selena Gomez, Leonardo DiCaprio, Demi Moore, Ryan Seacrest, Jamie Foxx, Justin Bieber, Eva Longoria, Zac Efron, Mila Kunis, Kevin Spacey, Gerard Butler, Bradley Cooper, Ashton Kutcher and Vanessa Hudgens, among countless others.

Scott Sibella, MGM Grand's President and COO, said, "Beacher's Madhouse is one of the most outrageous and entertaining shows we could ever deliver to our guests. Beacher's motley crew of characters is unique and will give our guests an opportunity to see a show unlike anything they've ever experienced."

The Rat-pack-like ambiance of the theatre will include 15 stages throughout the venue in addition to the one main stage. Shows will be held six nights a week - Tuesday through Sunday beginning at 8:00 p.m. - in addition to late night productions Thursday through Sunday at 10:30 p.m.

Previews will begin in December followed by a grand opening extravaganza set for New Year's Eve. For more information, visit www.beachersmadhouse.com.

In 2003, Beacher's Madhouse took Las Vegas by storm as the headliner at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, selling out show after show for five years straight. Jeff Beacher is also known for Beacher's Madhouse Costume Ball Tour, which ran 81 cities nationwide from 2008 throughout 2010, selling over 1 million tickets. In 2010, Beacher's Madhouse opened in the legendary Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel and quickly became the hottest venue in Los Angeles.
