With Lance Burton closing the doors on his show at the Monte Carlo Casino in 2010 , that left Nathan Burton as the only person on "The Strip" with the same last name (though no relation). Nathan Burton has been headlining on "The Las Vegas Strip" since 2006 and continues today in his theater in the Miracle Mile Shops (the old "Steve Wyrick Theater") attached to Planet Hollywood. A fast action illusion show, his performance is perfect for families who visit Las Vegas but still has plenty of glitz and showgirls for adults.
In this podcast, Nathan talks about developing his show, performing in Las Vegas and television and on the road, plus how he deals with pre-show jitters. This abbreviated chat was cut a little short due to it being Valentine's Day and his date with his wife, so he had to cut our early.
