LAS VEGAS, May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Terry Fator, winner of NBC's
"America's Got Talent," and The Mirage announced Fator signed a five-year
deal, with an option for an additional five years, to perform at the iconic
resort. The Mirage, which has been home to the city's most celebrated
entertainment over the years, including world-famous illusionists Siegfried
& Roy, The Beatles(TM) LOVE(TM) by Cirque du Soleil(R) and Danny Gans, will
launch a new era with the introduction of Terry Fator. Fator will perform
five shows a week in the 1,265-seat Terry Fator Theatre (currently the

Scott Sibella, president and COO of The Mirage, said, "Terry is an
extraordinary talent and won the hearts of millions of Americans when he
competed in the TV show. We are thrilled that he will perform at The Mirage
where millions more will be able to enjoy him."

including Elvis, Maroon Five, Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole, James Blunt
and Marvin Gaye.
