David Saxe (born August 29, 1969) is a Las Vegas show producer and theater owner. He produces dozens of shows around the world as well as several Las Vegas shows which perform nightly at his V Theater and Saxe Theater inside the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino. A native of Las Vegas, David grew up into show business and eventually launched David Saxe Productions, a show production company in Las Vegas. He employs 300+ people and recently acquired a 60,000-square-foot (5,600 m2) office and production studio space to manage the daily sales, marketing, warehousing and show production operations for his company.
Producer and theater owner David Saxe was born into show business. His mother was a dancer in the world-famous Folies Bergère and his father was a famed saxophone player and bandleader for The Rat Pack. Entertainment was a family business for the Saxe family, and became a passion of David's at a young age. He spent his childhood helping with behind-the-scene show production, organizing performances for corporate dinners, arranging band instruments, and even creating his own special effects learning how to rig theatrical equipment. Blessed with a keen business sense, David eventually took over the financial aspects of the family business.
Writing and developing acts came naturally to David and at the age of 17, he launched his sister's TV special Melinda Saxe - First Lady of Magic at Bourbon Street Hotel and Casino making him the youngest producer in Las Vegas' history. The show flourished, and Melinda became a nationwide sensation appearing on The Oprah Winfrey Show and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
David’s career quickly took off. He opened his first theater in San Francisco and by the age of 30 had produced 25 shows, many of which took the stage in Atlantic City, Lake Tahoe, Branson, Philadelphia and as far away as Japan. In 2004, he acquired the V Theater in Las Vegas and created the most popular "specialty acts" performance in the world, V The Ultimate Variety Show, which is still in production today. In April 2010, David acquired a second theater at Planet Hollywood, the $34 million Saxe Theater. Saxe Theater opened with its first production, VEGAS! The Show, and is now home to B- A Tribute to the Beatles and Nathan Burton Comedy Magic. In 2006 he debuted Stripper 101- pole dancing classes held at V Theater and in 2010 introduced the V Card - Vegas Nighclub Pass.
