“Blanc de Blanc” has closed abruptly at Sahara Las Vegas (formerly SLS) after a three month run.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The cabaret-style “Blanc de Blanc” opened August 16, 2019, and was never able to generate much buzz or ticket sales.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Back in October 2019, we shared rumors the show was selling just 20-30 tickets per show. The theater has a capacity of about 600.<\/p>\r\n

The party’s over for “Blanc de Blanc.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

“Blanc de Blanc” fell victim to the same fate as another show with a confusing name, “Fuerza Bruta” at Excalibur, which lasted a month before it shuttered.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Another significant challenge for “Blanc de Blanc” was being at Sahara.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

While the Sahara looks great following a major overhaul, there’s still no critical mass and the room was reportedly often “papered” (where tickets are given away to hotel guests so the theater isn’t empty).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

“Blanc de Blanc” was relatively well-reviewed, but marketing and P.R. never managed to get into gear, and rumors of backstage drama was rampant.<\/p>\r\n

If only someone had seen this coming.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Apparently, cast members were only informed of the show’s closure on Nov. 26, 2019. <\/p>\r\n

“Blanc de Blanc” was the only Las Vegas production in recent memory that allowed guests to view the show from one of three hot tubs.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

Given the short run of the show, it’s a safe bet both the hotel and show producers ended up taking a bath.<\/p>\r\n
