This June, the Venetian hosted a big name in today’s entertainment landscape, and it wasn’t world-class magician Shin Lim, nor burlesque icon Dita Von Teese.
It was MomTok. The popular TikTok stars and reality TV subjects in Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives packed the 1,800-seat Palazzo Theatre, joining a growing wave of podcasters and social media personalities now commanding the same stages as traditional Vegas acts.
“We just had a show earlier this year with the Sturniolo Triplets and those guys are very popular on the internet with their TikTok and all their social media following, but they did a show that was very similar to MomTok. It sold out in under an hour,” says Jesse Summers, talent buyer for Live Nation Las Vegas.
