Fleetwood Mac vocalist Stevie Nicks will headline the first concert at the forthcoming Park Theater at Monte Carlo.
The performance by the singer and songwriter will be Dec. 17, and will also feature the Pretenders. The 5,000-seat theater features a layout with no seat farther than 145 feet from the stage and a host of technological bells and whistles including a 240-foot-wide immersive projection surface, 3-D motion graphics and an 80-foot-wide LED display with 4K resolution.
"Stevie Nicks is a legend in the music industry, and we are thrilled she will be the first to perform in our new Park Theater," said Richard Sturm, president of entertainment for MGM Resorts International, in a release. "We have had the opportunity to host a number of Stevie's previous Las Vegas shows, and we know she will give her fans another sensational performance in December."
Nicks, a multiplatinum-selling artist, has had six top 10 albums and eight Grammy nominations. As a member of Fleetwood Mac, Nicks performed 122 sold-out shows around the world in 2014 and 2015. As a solo artist and with Fleetwood Mac, Nicks has sold more than 140 million albums.
Park Theater will serve as the gateway to MGM Resorts' the Park entertainment district, tucked between New York-New York and Monte Carlo and punctuated by the recently opened T-Mobile Arena. The Park Theater is the first step in the renovation of the Monte Carlo.
"This new space is unlike any venue in the MGM Resorts portfolio. Guests will be wowed to see their favorite entertainers, like Stevie, in such an intimate environment with unbelievable sound and video capabilities," Sturm said. "And no guest should miss having a drink on one of our outdoor terraces overlooking the T-Mobile Arena and the Park, the city's newest outdoor dining and entertainment district."
Tickets start at $95, and can be purchased at parktheaterlv.com. Tickets also can be purchased through the MGM Resorts Call Center at 866-740-7711. For more information, visit parktheaterlv.com.
