Westgate Las Vegas headliner Jen Kramer is celebrating National Magic Week from Sunday through next Saturday with a mix of onstage tricks and offstage surprises for visitors and locals alike. The weeklong celebration, running October 25 through October 31, pairs Kramer's regular performance schedule with giveaways, dining deals and a special appearance for a local nonprofit.
According to vegas24seven.com, Kramer and Westgate are marking the week with “a series of special experiences both on and off the stage.” The resort's so-called Magical Moments could include complimentary or upgraded tickets to The Magic of Jen Kramer, dining surprises, magic kits for young fans, and meet-and-greet opportunities, per the same report, though it does not guarantee which perks will appear or who qualifies for them.
The celebration also has a community component. Kramer and Westgate plan a surprise visit and a special mini-performance on October 27 for CORE, a local education nonprofit, the outlet reports. CORE Scholars and their families are being invited to attend The Magic of Jen Kramer at the resort as part of the partnership.
A Week of Dinner Deals to Go With the Tricks
Hungry theatergoers get their own incentive during the celebration. Following the 5 p.m. performance, Fresco Italiano will offer 50 percent off select appetizers and desserts, along with select wine, beer and cocktails, the same vegas24seven.com report notes.
The Magic of Jen Kramer runs Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at 5 p.m. at Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, according to the outlet's report. The show is staged at the Westgate Cabaret inside the resort, according to vegas.com. Tickets start at $19.99 plus taxes and fees, according to westgateresorts.com, which describes the production as featuring mind-boggling magic, mentalism, comedy and audience participation.
From Yale Magic Society to a 1,000-Show Milestone
Kramer has headlined at Westgate since 2018 and recently celebrated her 1,000th performance at the resort, as reported by KSNV. Westgateresorts.com puts a precise date on that milestone, noting her residency, The Magic of Jen Kramer, reached its 1,000th performance and was celebrated on Friday, April 24, 2026. Las Vegas Weekly separately reported that Kramer had been in residence at Westgate for eight years.
Westgate's own account describes Kramer as the only female magician currently headlining her own show in Las Vegas, while a KTNV report on the same 1,000-show milestone described her as one of the only female magicians headlining her own show — a distinction the two sources frame differently. Kramer is a Yale University graduate and founder of the Yale Magic Society, according to westgateresorts.com, and her show has been featured on television programs including Penn & Teller: Fool Us and Masters of Illusion.
Recent Honors Stack Up for the Headliner
The accolades have piled up this year. Kramer was voted Best Magician in Las Vegas Weekly's 2026 Best of Vegas Readers' Choice awards, a recognition confirmed directly by Las Vegas Weekly. Westgate also says she has been named Female Magician of the Year by the International Magicians Society, in addition to the Las Vegas Weekly honor.
National Magic Week itself has a history that stretches back decades, though the full details remain thinly documented. Per low-confidence background from magicsam.com, its roots trace to a “Houdini Day” established in the summer of 1927, with a Chicago member of the Society of American Magicians seeking official sanction for the observance in 1938. The Society of American Magicians is reported to organize National Magic Week annually from October 25 to October 31 to celebrate the art and science of magic, according to timeanddate.com.
