A highly-touted, fire-fueled production, “Inferno,” has closed at Paris Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

The self-described “fire spectacular” closed without warning just days after its final performance on July 15, 2018.<\/p>\n

\"Inferno\"
“Infermo” was not, apparently, fire. As the kids say. Or used to say, anyway.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“Inferno” lasted just six months at Paris, following in the footsteps of “Marilyn,” which closed at Paris<\/a> after 15 performances.<\/p>\n

Prior to “Marilyn,” “Circus 1903” closed at Paris<\/a> after just five months.<\/p>\n

It feels like Paris is trying to give the “Tropicana\u00a0curse” a run for its money.<\/p>\n

The closure of “Inferno” appears to have come as a surprise even to its producers, as less than a week before it closed, the show published a casting call notice on its Facebook page.<\/p>\n

\"Inferno\"
The awkward, though.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Johnny Kats of the Las Vegas Review-Journal was the first to share the news<\/a> “Inferno” had closed.<\/p>\n

Kats also shared a statement from Caesars Entertainment, “We were pleased with the six-month run of ‘Inferno,'” at which point we stopped reading because our public relations horseshittery meter exploded.<\/p>\n

Despite the mountains of evidence, we are not a moron.<\/p>\n

Casinos are “pleased” by shows that sell tickets and make money. You don’t close a show that’s selling tickets and making money. It’s not perturbation theory. Whatever that might actually be.<\/p>\n

Kats also shares “Masters of Illusion” at Bally’s will suffer the same fate as “Inferno.” It closes Sep. 3, 2018.<\/p>\n

It’s a tumultuous time for shows in Las Vegas, but it’s always been a competitive market.<\/p>\n

Back in the day, shows were subsidized by gambling, but that’s rarely the case now. Shows have to make money or they’re out.<\/p>\n

Las Vegas remains the entertainment capital of the world, even though shows like “Inferno” sometimes find themselves extinguished.<\/p>\n

What, like we weren’t going to get in one more fire pun? Do you know this blog at all?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
