Siegfried & Roy
Illusionists and Mirage headliners
The duo helped turn a resort magic show into a defining Las Vegas spectacle.
The Mirage production
The Neon Museum dates the Mirage show’s debut to February 1, 1990. Its dedicated theatre made the production a central feature of the new resort. [1]
The surviving record
UNLV’s Siegfried and Roy collection preserves programs, books and recordings from 1990–2000. The catalog is a guide to those materials, not a promise that every item is online. [2]
The show’s end
Roy Horn’s injury during the October 3, 2003 performance ended the Mirage engagement. The Museum’s retrospective also records Horn’s death in 2020 and Siegfried Fischbacher’s in 2021. [1]
