One Love, Seven Nights

Eight weeks into its tenure at Mandalay Bay, “Bob Marley Hope Road” has expanded from five days a week to a full seven.

The 75-minute, walk-through performance takes audiences between different scenes surrounded by live performers, soaring visuals, and remixed Marley tracks that drive the narrative.

The show has added pre-show DJ sets from two of the reggae legend’s granddaughters: Shacia Päyne Marley, who founded Constance Bubble, and Zuri Marley.
