"Havana Night Club" premiered at the Stardust in 2004, featuring more than 50 Cuban dancers, musicians, and singers, It was directed by Kenny Ortega, and co-produced by Siegfried & Roy. The show previously premiered in 1999 and toured around the world, but the Las Vegas version was modified extensively by Ortega, who spent a year working on it. The show's Las Vegas debut was postponed because of issues concerning travel visas, and the Stardust briefly considered hiring a replacement act. "Havana Night Club" eventually opened in August 2004, after a three-week delay.
