Michael Jackson - the Next Elvis?

Las Vegas is the town to go to if you want to have a comeback concert. It worked for Elvis in 1968, and one Vegas promoter wants to make it work for Michael Jackson as well (from Drudge):
Las Vegas dealmaker Jack Wishna, the man behind the Trump International Hotel & Tower project, and Wayne Newton's original deal with The Stardust is working on bringing the next level of entertainment into a new resort & casino being constructed on the site of The New Frontier Resort & Casino on the Las Vegas strip, set to open in 2007-2008.

Wishna has been in talks with Michael Jackson prior to his trial in California, along with other major superstars, to bring to this new mega-resort owned by Wichita Kansas billionaire Phil Ruffin.

Wishna said today, "I was interested in Michael Jackson before his legal woes, and I am still interested in bringing his talents to Las Vegas". America loves a comeback story and what better platform to showcase such a comeback than a new show in a new resort. A fresh start for a major talent" Wishna went on to say that Las Vegas has a long history of "second chances" and that Michael Jackson would be the hottest ticket in town.
Admission will be free for boys under 12.
