Floyd “Money” Mayweather has returned to the sport of boxing and will put his undefeated record on the line when he faces the dangerous and highly touted five-time world champion Juan Manuel “Dinamita” Marquez in MAYWEATHER vs. MARQUEZ “Number One/Numero Uno” Saturday, July 18 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Mayweather vs. Marquez Tickets

A 1996 Olympic Bronze medalist for the United States, Floyd “Money” Mayweather (39-0, 25 KOs) has since gone on to strike gold in the professional ranks, winning six world titles in five weight classes to firmly establish himself as one of the best fighters of his era. In his 18th professional fight, Mayweather won his first world title at the age of 21 by stopping Genaro Hernandez for the WBC World Super Featherweight title in 1998. The Grand Rapids, Mich. native defended that title eight times before he moved up to the lightweight division and took the 135-pound belt from Jose Luis Castillo in 2002. He also defeated Arturo Gatti and Zab Judah for the Junior Welterweight and Welterweight world titles, respectively.

When Marquez defeated Oscar de la Hoya in May 2007 for the World Junior Middleweight title in a record-setting super-fight, the world truly got to see what Mayweather is all about. In his last fight, on December 8, 2007, Mayweather made another statement to the world as he knocked out Ricky “Hitman” Hatton in the 10th round, handing the British superstar his first professional defeat. After the bout, Mayweather, who has achieved crossover fame as a member of the cast of the hit show “Dancing with the Stars” and as a participant in WWE’s “Wrestlemania,” announced his retirement from boxing but left the door open for a return if the right challenge presented itself and on July 18, the 32-year-old Las Vegas resident will come back to face Juan Manuel Marquez.

In an era of great Mexican fighters such as Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales, Mexico City’s Juan Manuel “Dinamita” Marquez (50-4-1, 37 KOs) has made it clear throughout the last few years that he is truly the best of the bunch. Long revered by boxing purists as one of the greatest, the three-division champion Marquez won 29 of his first 30 professional bouts before finally getting a world title shot in 1999. Marquez lost the fight in a controversial decision to Freddie Norwood but went on to win every fight for the next seven years and eventually won the IBF World Featherweight title against Manuel Medina in 2003. In November 2003, Marquez unified the titles when he defeated Derrick “Smoke” Gainer and captured the WBA world featherweight title. His second title defense in 2004 against Manny Pacquiao may be his most memorable as he rose from three, first-round knockdowns to roar back and earn a draw many observers believe he truly won.

Marquez lost his belt via decision to Chris John in 2006 but immediately returned to form and scored a 12-round win over Barrera in March 2007 to win the WBC 130-pound world title. In 2008, Marquez and Pacquiao met again in another memorable bout where Marquez lost in a disputed 12-round split decision to the Filipino superstar. Undeterred, Marquez moved up to the 135-pound weight class in September 2008 and stunned the boxing world by handing Joel Casamayor his first knockout defeat to win the Ring Magazine World Lightweight Championship. It was hard to top such a victory but the 35-year-old did just that in his most recent fight on February 28, stopping former three-time world champion Juan Diaz in the ninth round to add the WBO and WBA World Lightweight belts to his trophy case. On July 18 he looks to further cement his legacy with a win against Mayweather.

Mayweather vs. Marquez: “Number One/Numero Uno,” is promoted by Mayweather Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions in association with Marquez Promotions and sponsored by Cerveza Tecate and Southwest Airlines. The 12-round bout will take place July 18 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas and will be televised live on HBO Pay-Per-View beginning at 9 p.m. EST / 6 p.m. PST.

Electra to perform a limited engagement July 8-13.

MGM Grand’s Crazy Horse Paris is proud to announce a week-long guest-star engagement by actress, model and international sex symbol Carmen Electra. Electra will be the second celebrity to perform with the ensemble on the Crazy Horse Paris stage in Las Vegas, following only Dita Von Teese.

Crazy Horse Tickets

Electra is set to kick off her guest-star appearance Wednesday, July 8 and will appear nightly through Monday, July 13 in both the 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. performances. Electra will showcase her dance ability and naturally sexy style in three acts. She will appear in a lesson on eroticism, also known as “Leçon D’Érotisme,” a riveting and entrancing performance entitled “Chain Gang” and an ensemble number, “Étoile de Paris.”

“I am excited to perform in ‘Crazy Horse Paris’ at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas,” said Electra. “It is such an iconic show and I was in awe after seeing it for the first time. The dancers and the performances are so sensual and sexy that I knew I wanted to perform with the illustrious dance troupe and be part of Crazy Horse Paris history.”

Electra is no stranger to the performing arts. She studied dance at a young age and was discovered by musical legend Prince at the age of 18. Her fame escalated with a role in the television series “Baywatch,” as the co-host of MTV’s “Singled Out,” and most recently in movies such as “Meet the Spartans,” “Epic Movie” and “Scary Movie,” to name a few. Electra has graced the covers of many magazines and has been named one of the sexiest women in the world by publications including FHM Magazine, Stuff and Playboy. In addition to being an international sex symbol, Electra also is an entrepreneur with the 2008 release of her aerobics video entitled “Carmen Electra Aerobic Striptease.” For more information on Carmen Electra, visit www.carmenelectra.com.

Since its inception in 1951 in Paris, Crazy Horse has been a cultural phenomenon offering unique shows that engage the eye as much as the imagination. Crazy Horse Paris shows rely on raw body talent and beauty rather than technology and combine sensuous choreography with various luminary and projection effects to create a moving canvas of skin, where reflections and images meet in a kaleidoscope of colors and textured designs.

MGM Grand’s Crazy Horse Paris performs nightly at 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., dark Tuesdays. Guests must be at least 18 years of age to attend the show.

Disney’s award-winning Broadway phenomenon, THE LION KING, celebrated its Las Vegas premiere at Mandalay Bay Theatre Friday evening. Several members of the original creative team were in attendance to launch the show, including director/creator Julie Taymor; book writers Roger Allers and Irene Mecchi; choreographer Garth Fagan; scene designer Richard Hudson; and Thomas Schumacher, producer and president of Disney Theatrical Group.

Disney’s The Lion King Tickets

THE LION KING at Mandalay Bay joins the seven other highly successful companies of THE LION KING currently running all over the world, including New York, London, Hamburg, Paris, Tokyo and Fukuoka, as well as the North American National Tour. The show is performed Monday through Thursday evenings at 8 p.m. with Saturday and Sunday matinees at 4 p.m.

Mandalay Bay’s production of THE LION KING is virtually identical to the other companies seen around the globe and is staged with all of the same spectacular music, sets, and costumes that have made it a worldwide phenomenon, reaching more than 45 million people in 11 countries.

“The Las Vegas production is every bit the equal of the spectacular Broadway experience,” said Thomas Schumacher, producer and president of Disney Theatrical Group. “From the stunning procession of animals that fill the aisles during ‘Circle of Life’ and the wildebeest stampede to the show’s climactic battle, all of the magic of the original vision will be realized onstage at Mandalay Bay.”

“Mandalay Bay is known for offering its guests exciting and spectacular entertainment options,” said Bill Hornbuckle, president and chief operating officer of Mandalay Bay. “The addition of THE LION KING, one of the most successful production shows in history, continues this tradition. We are certain THE LION KING’s international appeal will be embraced by Las Vegas locals and visitors alike.”

For Las Vegas, Disney hand-selected an international cast of performers who have won acclaim in productions of THE LION KING across the globe, including Broadway, Taipei, South Africa, London, Los Angeles, Australia, Toronto, Shanghai, Paris and Holland.

The malevolent “Scar” is played by Thom Sesma, whose credits include The Times They Are A-Changin’, The Man of La Mancha and La Cage Aux Folles on Broadway. Alton F. White plays the lion king “Mufasa.” Mr. White’s credits include THE LION KING’s Broadway company, Ragtime, Tommy, The Color Purple and Miss Saigon on Broadway. Buyi Zama, a native of South Africa, is the wise “Rafiki.” Ms. Zama has performed in seven productions of THE LION KING, including London, Sydney, Melbourne, Shanghai, South Africa, Taipei and the national tour; her credits also include backing as a vocalist for artists such as Whitney Houston and Rebecca Malope.

Kissy Simmons, a native of Floral City, FL, is the lioness, “Nala.” She joins the Las Vegas cast from the Broadway production of THE LION KING and previously performed in the national tour. Mufasa’s son, “Simba,” is played by Clifton Oliver, who is an alumnus of Douglas Anderson School of Arts and has numerous theatre credits including featured roles in THE LION KING’s Los Angeles production and national tour, in addition to Grease, Rent and Wicked on Broadway.

The meerkat “Timon” is played by Damian Baldet, who has appeared in THE LION KING’s national tour in addition to productions of Frankenstein, Attempts on Her Life, The Rats Are Getting Bigger and Gone Missing. Patrick Kerr, who portrays “Zazu,” appeared as KACL’s Noel on “Frasier” and recently performed in The Ritz on Broadway. Adam Kozlowski portrays “Pumbaa” the warthog and has appeared in Scrooge the musical on national tour.

The three hyenas are played by Keith Bennett (”Banzai”), an original cast member of THE LION KING, whose additional credits include the Broadway productions of Oh, Kay! and The High Rollers Social and Pleasure Club; Jacquie Hodges (”Shenzi”), who has performed off Broadway in For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide and in the national tours of THE LION KING and Aida; and Robbie Swift (”Ed”), acting graduate from The Theatre School at DePaul University, who toured nationally with THE LION KING and recently played “Linus” in the West Coast premiere of Snoopy.

Performances in the role of “Young Simba” are alternated between Duane Ervin and Elijah Johnson. The role of “Young Nala” is alternated between Ruby Crawford and Jade Nelson.

The cast includes nine South African natives; and two ensemble members, Joseph Rivera and Renata Renee Wilson, from Las Vegas.

ABOUT THE LION KING

THE LION KING continues to reign as one of the most popular shows in the world. It is the winner of six Tony® Awards including Best Musical, eight Drama Desk Awards, six Outer Critics Circle Awards, the New York Drama Critics award for Best Musical, the Evening Standard Award for the Theatrical Event of the Year, two Olivier Awards, a Theatre World Award, the Astaire Award for Outstanding Choreography, two Drama League Awards and a Grammy® Award for Best Musical Show Album.

Director Julie Taymor became the first woman in Broadway history to win the Tony® Award for Best Director of a Musical. Taymor, along with Michael Curry, created hundreds of masks and puppets for THE LION KING. Choreography is by Garth Fagan, scenic design is by Richard Hudson, costume design is by Julie Taymor and lighting design is by Donald Holder.

The book was adapted by Roger Allers, who co-directed the animated film, and Irene Mecchi, who co-wrote the screenplay for THE LION KING. The Las Vegas score features Elton John and Tim Rice’s music from the animated film along with two new songs by John and Rice, and additional musical material by South African Lebo M, Mark Mancina, Jay Rifkin, Julie Taymor and Hans Zimmer. The resulting sound of THE LION KING score is a fusion of Western popular music and the distinctive sounds and rhythms of Africa, embracing the Academy Award®-winning “Can You Feel The Love Tonight” and the haunting “Shadowlands.”
