LAS VEGAS (May 30, 2019) – Academy and GRAMMY Award-winning cultural icon Lady Gaga is joining forces with her home away from home in Las Vegas to create HAUS OF GAGA/LAS VEGAS at Park MGM.  Opening today in celebration of the second leg of Lady Gaga’s ENIGMA residency at Park Theater, HAUS OF GAGA/LAS VEGAS is an ever-changing experience featuring Lady Gaga’s most iconic fashion pieces from her personal vault spanning more than 10 years of cultural, musical and fashion reinvention. HAUS OF GAGA/LAS VEGAS will be a destination for Little Monsters who travel internationally to experience Lady Gaga and ENIGMA.

Curated by long time Lady Gaga collaborator and Fashion Director Nicola Formichetti, HAUS OF GAGA/LAS VEGAS is a space that will immerse fans into some of her most iconic moments, and allow them to witness never before seen memorabilia. Items to be shown at HAUS OF GAGA/LAS VEGAS include cultural landmarks such as the iconic 2010 MTV Video Music Awards meat dress, custom bodysuit worn during her breakout performance of Paparazzi at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, Versace iridescent bodysuit worn during her 2017 Super Bowl performance and the custom living dress worn during the Monster Ball Tour 2.0 in 2010, along with more surprises.

“Lady Gaga and I wanted this experience to reflect the most iconic moments the Haus of Gaga has conceptualized during her career,” said Nicola Formichetti, Haus of Gaga member and curator.  “Our vision for HAUS OF GAGA/LAS VEGAS is a space that will visually immerse fans into Lady Gaga’s most iconic moments that will leave them in awe.”

Select items will be put up for auction with 100% of proceeds donated to the Born This Way Foundation, the nonprofit co-founded by Lady Gaga and her mother Cynthia Germanotta to support the mental wellness of young people and empower them to create a kinder and braver world. HAUS OF GAGA/LAS VEGAS will also feature Enigma merchandise exclusively available at Park MGM.

George Kliavkoff, President of Entertainment & Sports for MGM Resorts International, said, ”Lady Gaga has truly become part of the MGM Resorts family and we are honored she chose Park MGM as home for the first-ever Haus of Gaga experience. Her fans from around the world will have one more ‘only in Las Vegas’ reason to come visit. And more importantly, we are incredibly pleased with the opportunity to bring even greater awareness to the Born This Way Foundation, doing good for young people around the globe.”

HAUS OF GAGA/LAS VEGAS is adjacent to the Park Theater inside Park MGM in Las Vegas. The space will be open to the public beginning Thursday, May 30 at 12:00pm PT.  Hours will be 12pm - 8pm daily, and 12pm - 12am on Lady Gaga show days. See here for ENIGMA schedule and ticket availability.
