American Idol Season 5 Champ Taylor Hicks gets 1 year extension at Bally’s Las Vegas.
Taylor Hicks had secured an 8 week run at the Indigo Lounge located at Bally’s Las Vegas and has been getting great reviews.
So great that his contract was extended for a year starting Wednesday, Oct. 17.
Ballys Las Vegas President, David Hoenemeyer said,
Locals, as well as tourists from around the nation flock to see him perform on the Vegas Strip, and we look forward to continued success both here in Las Vegas and at some of our other properties
Hicks seems thrilled too and echoed similar sentiments. He said,
It’s been a dream performing at Bally’s Las Vegas. I’m thrilled to extend my relationship with Caesars Entertainment so that I can continue to entertain fans not only in Las Vegas but nationwide.
He performs with his 5 piece band in the Indigo Lounge which provides an intimate atmosphere yet the lounge is very near to all the casino action.
Robin Leach had asked the Idol Champ if he was fearful coming to perform in Las Vegas and Hicks said that he just didn’t want to fail. He told Leach,
All I worried about was not failing! Being an entertainer in the South, you obviously dream of Los Angeles, New York, but Las Vegas is such a class all on its own. To be a part of history and to be a part of the entertainment folklore as a headliner is an honor.
Taylor Hicks will perform nightly in The Indigo at 7 p.m. Oct. 17-Nov. 12, and Dec. 3-16. His schedule for his performance in 2013 will be announced at a later date. His show will be dark on Friday’s and Tuesday’s.
Ticket prices range from $39.99 and $69.99.
Now that Taylor Hicks gets 1 year extension at Bally’s Las Vegas, there no reason not to see him.
Hicks seems to be embracing the Las Vegas culture and performed at the Las Vegas Hospitality Association’s 2012 Distinction Awards last week.
Congrats Taylor!
