News Network/ -- Danny Gans will return to the Wynn family in February, 2009,
when he brings his unique one-man show to the new Encore resort at Wynn Las
Vegas.
Wynn Resorts Chairman and CEO Steve Wynn commented: "Danny Gans' continuing
role as the star of the Encore Theater underscores the individual identity of
our new resort and underscores our continuing, unqualified commitment to
excellence in service and entertainment. I built the Danny Gans Theater at the
Mirage in 2000 as a result of being convinced that he would bring to our family
a standard of performing artistry unequalled by any other single star in Las
Vegas. The result has been obvious, and he has occupied that singular position
ever since. On a very personal as well as professional level, I am absolutely
delighted to welcome him back into our newer family across the street. We are
going to have a great time together -- just like the audience."
Singer, comedian, impressionist and actor, Gans has been named Las Vegas'
"Entertainer of the Year" for 11 straight years in a row. Known as "The Man of
Many Voices," he was hailed by People Magazine for reviving "the age of
impressionism in Las Vegas." Gans has been selling out his shows for almost 12
years in Las Vegas, and has spent the last eight years performing at the Mirage
in a theater built for him by Steve Wynn.
