All good things must come to an end, and sometimes the same goes for great things.<\/p>\n

“Xavier Mortimer: The Dream Maker” is one of our favorite shows in Las Vegas and it gives us acute sphincteral distress to share the enchanting production will close on Dec. 30, 2022 at Strat.<\/p>\n

Fun fact: The name of our band in high school was Sphincteral Distress. When we feel sad, we make jokes. Psychologists consider this this defense mechanism a “Freudian id conflict,” blah, blah, blah. What do psychologists know about Las Vegas magic shows? We rest our case, whatever it might have been.<\/p>\n

Hearing this news about Xavier Mortimer has turned our world upside down.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Anyway, Xavier Mortimer, which we’re fairly sure is his real name, is such a talented guy, he deserves a showroom named after him. Possibly a small arena.<\/p>\n

The show’s run started at The Strat on July 1, 2021.<\/p>\n

Prior to that, it was at Magic Attic at Bally’s and the Sin City Theater at Planet Hollywood. Then Caesars Entertainment shuttered several of its mid-sized theaters, which included both Magic Attic and Sin City Theater. Xavier Mortimer can’t catch a break.<\/p>\n

So, Xavier Mortimer makes his own breaks. When he couldn’t perform onstage due to the pandemic, he became a viral sensation online.<\/p>\n

His TikTok page<\/a> has four million followers, Facebook page has 8.7 million followers, YouTube has 1.6 million subscribers and 617,000 followers on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Xavier Mortimer’s show won a slew of Best of Las Vegas Awards, and unlike many Best of Las Vegas Award recipients, this show actually deserved the accolades.<\/p>\n

\"\"
We ignore these awards unless we agree with them.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On the bright side, there’s still time to see this show before it closes at Strat.<\/p>\n

Yes, it’s mainly a magic show, but Xavier Mortimer is just, well, great at a lot of things, so it’s much more than that. Here’s a little taste.<\/p>\n
