Mat Franco Celebrates Historic 3,000th Performance at The LINQ Hotel in Las Vegas
June 8, 2026
On June 7, 2026, award-winning magician and Las Vegas headliner Mat Franco celebrated a remarkable career milestone with his 3,000th performance at The Mat Franco Theater inside The LINQ Hotel.
The special evening commemorated Franco’s 3,000-show achievement during his historic 10th anniversary year as a Las Vegas headliner, a distinction that places him among the city’s most enduring and successful resident performers. Following the performance, Franco and his team celebrated the occasion with a custom-designed cake and commemorative cupcakes, shared backstage with cast, crew, family, friends and special guests.
“Reaching 3,000 performances is something I never could have imagined when I first arrived in Las Vegas,” said Franco. “The audiences, my incredible team and the support of Caesars Entertainment have made this journey unforgettable. I’m grateful every night I get to step on stage!”
Since opening his Las Vegas residency in 2015, Franco has entertained millions of guests with his signature blend of interactive magic, humor and storytelling. After winning Season 9 of NBC’s America’s Got Talent, becoming the first magician ever to win the competition, he quickly established himself as one of the Strip’s most beloved performers.
The celebration comes on the heels of another major milestone for Franco, who recently announced a five-year extension of his residency at The LINQ, ensuring audiences will continue experiencing his acclaimed show through at least 2030.
