Las Vegas magician Mat Franco will tape his first Netflix special at The LINQ Hotel in October 2026 and is launching a new partnership with Fantasy Claw Arcade, offering exclusive prizes and show tickets for visitors.
Las Vegas Strip headliner Mat Franco is expanding his presence in the city with two major announcements: a new collaboration with Fantasy Claw Arcade and the upcoming taping of his first Netflix special at The LINQ Hotel + Experience.
Franco, who has performed Mat Franco – Magic Reinvented Nightly at The LINQ Hotel for over a decade, is partnering with Fantasy Claw Arcade to bring a new layer of entertainment to the venue. The collaboration will allow guests to try their luck at the arcade’s claw machines for a chance to win exclusive Mat Franco-themed prizes, including tickets to his long-running show. The partnership aims to blend the interactive fun of arcade gaming with the signature magic that has made Franco a staple on the Strip. More details about the arcade experience are available at fantasyclawarcade.com.
Netflix Special to Be Taped at The LINQ
In addition to the arcade partnership, Franco has confirmed that he will tape his first-ever Netflix special at The Mat Franco Theater inside The LINQ Hotel. The tapings are scheduled for Monday, October 5, and Tuesday, October 6, 2026. Fans interested in attending can purchase tickets through MatFranco.com or Ticketmaster.com. The special marks a new milestone for Franco, who has built a loyal following in Las Vegas and is now set to reach a global streaming audience.
Las Vegas Entertainment Continues to Expand
Franco’s announcements come as Las Vegas continues to attract major entertainment events and productions. The city’s venues have recently hosted a range of high-profile performances, including the Backstreet Boys’ appearance at Sphere following the Formula 1 Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix, as covered in our report on the F1 Afterparty at Sphere. With new collaborations and televised specials, Las Vegas remains a central hub for live entertainment and innovative experiences.
What Visitors Should Know
Guests visiting The LINQ Hotel + Experience can look forward to both the ongoing Mat Franco – Magic Reinvented Nightly performances and the new Fantasy Claw Arcade partnership. Those interested in being part of the Netflix special audience should secure tickets early, as demand is expected to be high for the October 2026 tapings. The collaboration with Fantasy Claw Arcade adds another interactive attraction for visitors seeking unique Las Vegas experiences on the Strip.
