A Trip to Las Vegas to See David Copperfield ✨

This brings me to an interesting topic: "Nostalgia" (no judgment here—everyone has their own perspective). As I mentioned in my first West Coast travel guide: “What drew me to the American West wasn’t just Highway 1, but also ‘Hotel California.’ I often feel inspired to visit a place because of a movie, an anime, or a song.” 🎬🎵 And as I wrote at the end of my Las Vegas note: “I’ve always been drawn to people and things from my memories. I watched David’s magic tricks on TV as a kid and was deeply impressed. Finally getting the chance to see him in person felt both exciting and fulfilling. After the show, I felt no regrets—like I’d completed a little wish.” 🌟 Similarly, in Los Angeles, I went downtown to find Kobe’s mural and looked for his handprints outside the Chinese Theatre. I’ve never been a die-hard basketball fan, but I loved following the NBA in high school—the L.A. Lakers, Philadelphia 76ers, Chicago Bulls, Houston Rockets… I knew all the teams by heart, and still remember names like Kobe, Shaq, LeBron, and Iverson, though many others have faded from memory. So while traveling in the U.S., whenever I can connect with something from my past, I try to experience it in person. 🏀❤️ Here are some details and reflections on David Copperfield’s magic show: 📍 MGM Grand Hotel We reserved two tickets for the 7 PM show on the same day—electronic tickets, fifth row center seats, at $134 each. Great view! You can also book directly on the MGM Grand website. 🎟️ 📖 Storytelling Our show was themed around aliens and UFOs 🛸, with a strong narrative. It began with childhood stories and photos of his parents. David’s gentle, engaging delivery was wonderful—as someone sentimental, I really appreciated those personal touches, far more than flashy, noisy magic acts. Of course, beyond the storytelling, the magic itself was unquestionably impressive. 🤝 Interaction The show was highly interactive—both David and the props frequently appeared right in the audience, even right in front of us! In the second half, he invited audience members on stage, guessing their names, personal items, numbers, and more. 🪄✨ 😄 Humor One funny moment I remember: the big screen suddenly showed an elderly woman in the audience making a surprised, funny face—she was then invited on stage! 👽 Sci-Fi Elements Aliens and a massive UFO appeared right in the middle of the audience—mind-blowing! David Copperfield’s magic is a symbol of memory for a whole generation. Being able to relive childhood memories as an adult made the experience even more meaningful. To me, it felt deeply personal—his kind eyes, gentle demeanor, and warm smile felt so familiar. I’ve heard he might retire soon, so I’m glad I got to see him. For me, it was totally worth it! 💫 #USA #USATravel #Magic #DavidCopperfield #LasVegas 🎩🇺🇸
