DAVID SAXE

Producer and theater owner David Saxe was born into show business.  His mother was a dancer in the world-famous Folies Bergere and his father, a bandleader for The Rat Pack.  Entertainment became somewhat of a family business for David and his two sisters.  He spent his childhood organizing performances for corporate dinners, arranging band instruments, even jerry-rigging theatrical equipment to pull off his own special effects.  Blessed with a keen business sense, David slowly took over the financial aspects as well.

Writing and developing acts came naturally to David and at the age of 17, he launched his sister’s show, Melinda - First Lady of Magic, at Bourbon Street Casino making him the youngest producer in Las Vegas’ history.  The show flourished and Melinda became the #1 female magician in the world.

David’s career quickly took off.  He opened his first theater in San Francisco and by the age of 30 had produced 25 shows, many of which took the stage in Atlantic City, Lake Tahoe, Branson, Philadelphia and as far away as Japan.
In 2004, he acquired the V Theater in Las Vegas and created the most popular “specialty acts” performance in the world, V The Ultimate Variety Show, which is still in production today.

As soon as David started achieving success, he began giving back to the community.  He joined ALS of Nevada’s Board of Directors and raised $300,000 for the non-profit by producing the All Star Las Vegas Show each February.  Because of these contributions, Mayor Oscar Goodman awarded David the key to the city and declared February 22nd “David Saxe Day.”  In 2006, UNLV’s College of Hotel Administration named David “Industry Executive of the Year” for his work in the entertainment field and as an adjunct professor.

Today, David Saxe produces 14 shows and owns V Theater and Saxe Theater inside Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood and was recently named “Producer of the Year” by SEVEN Magazine.  He employs 250 people and owns a 15,000 square foot production studio in the downtown area as well as the new Stripper Bar at Miracle Mile Shops.
