Officials at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino are preparing for an onslaught of moon-walking Michael Jackson fans in the lead-up to the first official Michael Jackson Fan Fest. It will be the biggest Jackson event since the pop icon’s death back in 2009.

From December 3-14, Mandalay Bay will offer travelers arriving on flights to Las Vegas a one-of-kind look at the larger than life superstar with rare memorabilia and exclusive Q&A sessions with some of Jackson’s closest friends and family members.

The Fan Fest coincides with the launch of Michael Jackson THE IMMORTAL World Tour, a new touring Cirque du Soleil celebration dedicated to the king of pop. The spectacular show will play at the Mandalay Bay Events Center from December 3 to December 27 before hitting the road.

Tickets to Fan Fest can be purchased in conjunction with THE IMMORTAL World Tour or individually.
