As far as birthday parties, Roy Horn's 59th birthday party was the most extravagant one I've ever been to.
Curtis Rowe is attending Roy's birthday party at the Mirage on October 2, 2003.
No expense has been spared.
There's a balloon drop, a conga line with hundreds of people, and ice sculptures of tigers.
They had tigers everywhere.
Tons of food, tons of alcohol.
Live ban.
I mean, if there's a reason to dress up, that was certainly it.
As more than 500 people gather near the stage, Roy, wearing black leather pants, steps out to greet everyone.
Celebration is the greatest thing any man.
Can do at this age.
59.
I'm celebrating and celebrating and celebrating.
Siegfried and Roy's cast members put on a special performance just for Roy.
We rehearsed on our breaks and stuff so that we could, like, surprise him with this show.
It was multiple dance numbers, costume changes.
It was a pretty significant little show that we did.
Dancer Megan Hensley attends the party, which is held in the same theater where she performs in Siegfried and Roy's show.
