LAS VEGAS (Oct. 13, 2026) – There’s a little extra magic in the air at Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino this October as headlining magician Jen Kramer, recently voted Best Magician in Las Vegas Weekly’s 2026 Best of Vegas Readers’ Choice, joins the resort to celebrate National Magic Week, Oct. 25–31, with a series of special experiences both on and off the stage.
Throughout the week, Westgate and Kramer will take the magic into the Las Vegas community, surprise resort guests with unexpected “Magical Moments” and give audiences a reason to keep the magic going after the show with Show Bites at Fresco Italiano.
“Magic is really about creating moments of connection, wonder and surprise, and National Magic Week gives us a chance to share that beyond the stage,” said Kramer. “Whether we’re bringing magic into the community or surprising someone who simply happens to be in the right place at the right time at Westgate, I love the idea of making the entire week feel a little more magical.”
MAGIC GIVES BACK
As part of Magic Gives Back, Kramer and Westgate will take National Magic Week beyond the resort with a surprise visit and special mini-performance for local education nonprofit CORE on Oct. 27. Westgate will extend the experience by inviting CORE Scholars and their families to attend The Magic of Jen Kramer at the resort.
The community activation reflects the spirit of National Magic Week by sharing the fun, wonder and connection of magic with audiences outside the traditional theater setting.
MAGICAL MOMENTS AT WESTGATE
Guests visiting Westgate throughout National Magic Week may also find themselves on the receiving end of a little unexpected magic.
Surprise Magical Moments will pop up around the resort throughout the week and could include complimentary or upgraded tickets to The Magic of Jen Kramer, dining surprises, magic kits for young fans, meet-and-greet opportunities and other unexpected perks.
Guests will never know exactly when — or where — a Magical Moment might appear.
KEEP THE MAGIC GOING AT FRESCO ITALIANO
The show may be over, but the magic doesn’t have to be.
Following the 5 p.m. performance of The Magic of Jen Kramer, guests can keep the evening going at Fresco Italiano with Show Bites, featuring 50 percent off select appetizers and desserts, along with select wine, beer and cocktails.
Guests can settle in after the show over favorites including Meatballs, Calamari, Bruschetta Burrata Board and Mozzarella Fritta, or make it a sweet ending with Tiramisu, House-Made Gelati, Affogato and more.
During National Magic Week, Show Bites will come with an added touch of magic. Guests attending The Magic of Jen Kramer may encounter surprise-and-delight moments at Fresco, from a complimentary bite or sweet treat to a special Presto Potion drink, or another unexpected perk.
SEE THE SHOW. STAY FOR SHOW BITES. KEEP THE MAGIC GOING
Kramer has headlined at Westgate since 2018 and recently celebrated her 1,000th performance at the resort. Known for her engaging and interactive style, Kramer combines sleight of hand, mentalism, comedy and audience participation to create a modern magic experience designed for all ages.
