Jimmy Kimmel Partners With Caesars Entertainment To Open Comedy Club At The LINQ Promenade

Next spring, Caesars Entertainment will open Jimmy Kimmel's COMEDY CLUB at The LINQ Promenade in Las Vegas.

In partnership with Caesars Entertainment, the new club will showcase comedians ranging from up-and-coming talent to household names curated by Kimmel and his team in a venue designed by Jimmy and his comedian friends.

"Building a club like this in my hometown is a dream come true" said Kimmel, who grew up in Las Vegas. "I've done extensive research, consulting with veteran comics to create the ideal venue for comedians and comedy lovers. My aim is to capture the spirit of classic Vegas with late night shows, surprise guests, live music, memorabilia from my career and food that will rival the finest restaurants in town. Every comic who plays this club will get first-class treatment. I am obsessing over every detail to make this the most comedy-friendly club in the world."

At 8,000 square feet, the venue will be the optimal setting for both comedy talent and the audience, with an expandable showroom that seats up to 300 guests. The club will be open seven nights a week, with a bar open daily and shows offered nightly.

"We are elated by the opportunity to collaborate with Jimmy Kimmel on his first and only comedy club," said Jason Gastwirth, president of entertainment for Caesars Entertainment. "As the leader in establishing iconic residencies in Las Vegas, we are creating this club to be an innovative and exceptional live comedy venue. Of course, Kimmel's longtime Las Vegas affinity means he understands the city and what audiences want to see. Together, we look forward to delivering a top-quality comedy experience on the Las Vegas Strip."

Caesars Entertainment is known for revitalizing the modern era of entertainment in Las Vegas with its record-breaking headlining residencies at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace and Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. The Colosseum has offered a diversified, top-flight comedy lineup since introducing Jerry Seinfeld in 2003, leading to other top comedians in the venue including Sebastian Maniscalco, Steve Martin and Martin Short, Jim Gaffigan and Jeff Dunham. The company has consistently been at the forefront of entertainment and has set a high standard for Las Vegas, one that has forced others in the industry to follow. As a result of Caesars Entertainment's innovation and impressive lineup, the company was recognized as the third-largest promoter of live entertainment worldwide by Billboard Magazine in 2016 and 2017.

"Jimmy Kimmel's COMEDY CLUB will bring yet another unique experience to The LINQ Promenade, thus rounding it out to be the epicenter for dining, retail and entertainment on the Las Vegas Strip," said Shaun Swanger, senior vice president of attractions, retail and leasing for Caesars Entertainment.

The latest addition to The LINQ Promenade, Jimmy Kimmel's COMEDY CLUB will be located across from Brooklyn Bowl, and near the High Roller the largest observation wheel in the world.
