Mortimer’s "The Dream Maker" Will Be The First Show on The Strip to Accept Crypto As Payment for Entry and Offer Exclusive NFT Holder Perks
LAS VEGAS, May 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Wally’s NFT, wallstreetbets.com ($WSB) and French illusionist Xavier Mortimer announced a multi-year partnership that will make Mortimer’s "The Dream Maker" the first show on the Las Vegas Strip to accept a cryptocurrency as one of the payment methods for buying tickets. This collaboration also makes Wally’s NFT the first NFT project to become an active part of a Las Vegas show. Wizard Wally, inspired by one of the most sought-after magicians in the industry, will be the hero of a new magic illusion developed by Xavier Mortimer.
$WSB, the official token of Wally’s NFT, is traded on Bittrex Global, one of the largest and safest crypto exchanges in the world, and has its own DEX on wallstreetbets.com. Wally’s NFT is designed by a legendary artist who created one of the most iconic characters in the video game industry and backed by a unique story imagined by the scriptwriter of Assassin’s Creed: Lineage. As the first hero of the Metaverse, Wally is friendly, playful, funny, inspiring, and courageous. His integration into Mortimer’s "The Dream Maker" will come with multiple perks for Wally’s NFT owners including VIP seating, specialty drinks and exclusive merchandise.
"We want to reward our holders. But, we also want to have actual utility for our token. So, by booking your tickets with $WSB, you will unlock free upgrades. By becoming the first crypto accepted on the Strip, we wanted to show how serious we are about Wally’s NFT and wallstreetbets.com," said Streeter Hull, co-founder of both projects. "We truly believe that the Metaverse will become a new space for talents like Xavier to showcase their craft and expertise."
Mortimer, who is going into his sixth year in Vegas, is once again at the forefront of change. With over 6 billion views and 12 million followers on social media, Mortimer is working to create yet another one-of-a-kind experience for his fans, the crypto and NFT communities, and anyone else who dares to venture off the beaten path.
"This partnership opens up my world: in both the Metaverse, where Wally’s NFT has big plans, and my current show," said award-winning illusionist Xavier Mortimer. "NFTs are here to stay, and I am thrilled to be part of this revolution. I am eager to bring my art and skills to this new era."
"We understand that some people are scared of NFTs. But we fell in love with Wally’s character right away and we truly believe that NFTs and crypto represent a large field of opportunities for creators and artists" says Alex Goude, producer of Xavier Mortimer’s The Dream Maker. "This is why we wanted to work with Wally’s NFT and this is why we want to do more- we want to make history."
Tickets to "The Dream Maker" will be available to purchase with $WSB starting July 1, 2022 at Xaviermortimer.com
