Who is Mat Franco?
Mat Franco is a magician who won Season 9 of America’s Got Talent and later opened his permanent Las Vegas production at The LINQ.
Magic Reinvented Nightly began at The LINQ in 2015 and is built around a mix of signature routines and material that can change with the audience.
The theater bears his name and seats around 600 people, which makes the production more intimate than many arena-style Las Vegas shows.
What to expect from Magic Reinvented Nightly
The show runs for approximately 90 minutes.
It mixes several styles of magic rather than focusing on one kind of illusion. Expect a combination of:
- close-up-inspired routines adapted for a theater
- large visual illusions
- storytelling
- comedy
- audience interaction
- improvisation
- recurring signature tricks
The production is family-friendly for ages 5+, but it is not designed only for children. The pacing and humor are aimed at a broad Las Vegas audience.
Does Mat Franco perform every night?
“Magic Reinvented Nightly” is the name of the show, not a guarantee that performances happen seven nights a week.
The schedule varies by date.
Current 2026 listings include both 7 pm and 9:30 pm performances on selected dates, so check the actual calendar for the night you plan to attend.
Mat Franco’s Las Vegas residency is currently scheduled through 2027 at the Mat Franco Theater at The LINQ.
Mat Franco age requirement
All guests must be 5 years or older.
Every person needs a ticket, regardless of age.
That makes Mat Franco one of the easier major Las Vegas magic shows to combine with a family itinerary, provided younger children are comfortable sitting through a 90-minute theater performance.
Mat Franco tickets
Ticket prices change by date, seat location and demand, so it is better to compare the live seating chart than rely on one fixed “from” price.
The linked ticket includes admission to the show and lets you compare available seating for your chosen performance.

Where is the Mat Franco Theater?
The show is inside The LINQ Hotel + Experience, at the center of the Las Vegas Strip.
That is different from the High Roller itself, which is at the eastern end of The LINQ Promenade, but the two are close enough to combine comfortably.
If you are arriving from elsewhere on the Strip, The LINQ is also served by the Harrah’s/The LINQ Monorail station.
For the wider area, see our LINQ Promenade guide.
Best seats for Mat Franco
Because the Mat Franco Theater seats only about 600 people, the room is relatively intimate.
You do not need the absolute front row to follow the show.
Front and center sections
These are attractive if you want to feel close to the performance and audience interaction.
They can also command higher prices.
Center of the room
A central seat several rows back can be a strong balance because you see both close-up staging and the larger visual effects without looking sharply upward.
Side sections
Side seats can still be good in a small theater, but check the exact seat map before booking if a centered view matters to you.
Rather than choosing purely by row number, compare price + centrality + how close you actually want to sit.
Combining Mat Franco with the High Roller
This is one of the easiest show-and-attraction combinations in Las Vegas because both experiences are at The LINQ.
Option 1: High Roller before the show
This works well if you want sunset or early-evening views.
Allow about an hour for the complete High Roller visit even though the ride itself takes about 30 minutes. Then leave enough buffer to enter the theater without rushing.
Option 2: Mat Franco first, High Roller afterward
This works well for a 7 pm show if you want a later night ride.
The High Roller currently operates until midnight Monday-Thursday and until 2 am Friday-Sunday, subject to special-event changes.
Check High Roller opening hours before building a late-night itinerary.
Which High Roller ticket pairs best with Mat Franco?
Choose a standard High Roller ticket if the view is your priority.
Choose Happy Half Hour if everybody is 21+ and you specifically want an open bar during the ride.
For families attending Mat Franco with children, standard High Roller admission is the relevant option because Happy Half Hour is 21+.
How much time should you allow for the evening?
A comfortable plan is:
- High Roller: allow about 1 hour total
- Walking / buffer at The LINQ: 20-30 minutes
- Mat Franco show: about 90 minutes
That gives you an evening of roughly 3 hours, before dinner or drinks.
If you are eating at The LINQ Promenade as well, add another 60-90 minutes.

Practical tips
- Check the actual performance calendar rather than assuming the show runs every night.
- Guests must be at least 5 years old.
- Every guest needs a ticket.
- Compare seat prices across the small theater before automatically buying the closest seat.
- If combining the show with the High Roller, do not schedule the two experiences back-to-back without a buffer.
- For groups of 20+, ask about group sales rather than buying many individual tickets separately.
- If a VIP meet-and-greet matters to you, confirm it is offered on your performance date before buying the base show ticket.
