Now, coming in June, Planet Hollywood welcomes CATS, the longest running musical in Broadway history! Written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and based on Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats by T.S. Eliot, CATS tells the story of the Jellicles, a tribe of cats who assemble to announce the cat that will be reborn into a new Jellicle life. 

CATS opened in the West End in 1981 and on Broadway in 1982. Having won numerous awards including the Tony Award for best musical, CATS remains one of the most beloved stage musicals of all time. The Broadway production ran for 18 years and 7,485 performances and still ranks as the second longest running show in Broadway history behind only Phantom of the Opera.

Walk down the world famous Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada and it’s easy to be overwhelmed by the immense grandeur of the resorts and casinos that make Vegas the world’s largest adult playground. Each building it seems is an awe-inspiring work of art in its own right.

Yet, for all of the amazing architecture in Las Vegas, one of the world’s most intriguing architectural wonders is located about 30 miles southeast of Vegas. Hoover Dam, a massive concrete arch-gravity dam sits in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between Arizona and Nevada.

When completed in 1936 after 5 years of construction, the dam was the world’s largest hydroelectric power generating station and the world’s largest concrete structure. Today it remains a working masterpiece of technology and architecture while also being a National Historic Landmark.

Named after Herbert Hoover for his role in the dam’s construction, first as Secretary of Commerce and later as the 31^st President of the United States, the dam created a huge reservoir called Lake Mead which has become a popular recreational area and the nation’s largest man-made lake.

Hoover Dam, considered one of the Top 10 Construction Achievements of the 20^th Century, is now also one of the Las Vegas area’s biggest draws and attracts more than one million visitors per year.

The historical dam sits in stark contrast to one of the most recent architectural wonders back on the Las Vegas strip, the 52-story Planet Hollywood Towers by Westgate. The area’s newest luxury resort sits adjacent to the existing Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino and offers guests exceptional shopping, dining, gaming and entertainment options plus an exotic tropical pool surrounded by white sand.
