There are three perfect moments in Phantom of the Opera: When the giant chandelier crashes into the stage; when Christine hits the high E; and when the Phantom finally removes his mask to show her his face.
The reveal has always enthralled fans of the long-running musical, leaving them to wonder what it would be like to hide behind the iconic white disguise. Wonder no more! After five years and thousands of performances, Phantom—The Las Vegas Spectacular is rewarding patrons with the new Phantom Mask Maker application on Facebook.
Designed by the Vegas branch of Situation Interactive, the app invites fans to position the Phantom’s mask over their profile photos or other uploads. They also choose between two frames celebrating the fifth anniversary of the show’s residence at The Venetian.
If you haven’t seen the show or want to challenge Janis Sartin for hugest fan status (she’s seen it 55 times, and counting), take advantage of an anniversary ticket deal. Through September 4, you can purchase two tickets for $99 by using the code 99PAIR when you make your order.
In the spirit of Venice, The Venetian is a little piece of romantic Italy right here in Las Vegas. The Venetian is an "all-suite" hotel, with rooms accented with plush linens and Italian marble. The 4,027 suites are divided into two towers: The 36-story Venetian Tower that offers guests a taste of luxurious Las Vegas and the Venezia suites, which guarantee 12 floors of high-end elegance. The top five floors are the hotel's highest level of luxury with its private access, concierge lounge, upgraded features and even a dedicated staff.
Entertainment at the Venetian includes shows such as Tim and Faith - Soul2Soul, featuring Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, and Rock of Ages.
The flagship of Venetian nightlife is TAO, an ultra-hip nightclub located inside of TAO Asian Bistro. V Bar is The Venetian's super smooth ultra lounge, made by the owners of New York City's club Lotus and Los Angeles' super swank Sunset Room.
The Venetian features 19 restaurants including Thomas Keller's award-winning French restaurant Bouchon, Mario Batali's B&B Ristorante, Aquaknox for fresh seafood and the 42,000 square foot TAO Asian Bistro. There's also the food court inside the Canal Shoppes for those looking for a quick bite.
Guests can float along The Grand Canal Shops in an authentic Italian gondola ride and pass stores like Burberry and Kenneth Cole along the way. And if you haven't caught a real celeb, on the street in Vegas, you can head over to Madame Tussauds to check out a wax version.
