In case you haven’t heard, Michael Jackson has while he prepares for his latest comeback. He left his long-term residencies in Dubai and then Dublin (as ) for the city of lights. And what better place is there for Jackson’s comeback than Vegas? He’ll fit right in with the other has-been celebrity headliners like Celine Dion, Howie Mandel, David Copperfield, and Prince. Prince? And the big upside for Jackson is that it’ll be easier to keep him away from children there–at least children who aren’t his own. Wait, what is Prince doing in Las Vegas again? Prince in Vegas makes me think about the “” sketch from Sesame Street.
Anyway, the great news for Vegas is that Michael is not only looking for a long-term show deal, he also wants to bring along a very special friend–. Cool…? Honestly, this could be a big boon to the city. The robot’s laser beam eyes could help signal planes into McCarran Airport. But which Michael will the robot be? Michael? Michael? Michael? Or my favorite, Michael? Michael’s people should also try working with some of the other casinos on collaborative light shows. If the robot can swivel, walk, or even dance, I could see his laser beam eyes being used to accent the water shows at the or even combined with the light beam rising from the top of the . You have to be careful with a 50 foot though, especially one with lasers shooting out of its eyes. One wrong snap of the wrist, one over-excited shoulder shrug, one ill placed kick and the sequined giant could take out .
As many fond memories as I have of Michael, I think Vegas is the perfect place for him to settle. You can have him guys, We’ll take Prince off your hands though. And keep an eye on the kids.

“The robot’s laser beam eyes could help signal planes into McCarran Airport”. Or bring in UFOs from Area 51.
Somehow looking up into MJ’s crotch doesn’t have much appeal to me as a major tourist attraction.
Perhaps Disney could just make an advanced animatronic version of Michael Jackson, like the Presidents show at Disneyland. Could be a themed boat ride at the new 300,000 s.f. indoor water park in Vegas…..call it Neverland Ranch.
