Based in Las Vegas, Michael Bonislawski operates his own entertainment company that concentrates on booking acts for casinos. Over the course of his career in live entertainment, Michael Bonislawski has secured contracts with multiple hospitality organizations and casinos, including MGM Resorts International.

The flagship of the MGM hotel portfolio is the MGM Grand on the Las Vegas Strip. Among its other amenities and attractions, the MGM Grand is home to Cirque du Soleil’s KA – a $165-million-dollar production that takes place on a technologically advanced stage that includes a suspended slab that can tilt and rotate at 360 degrees.

This slab serves as a battleground for a staged martial arts-style confrontation between performers as they tell the story of twins who share an epic journey that is fraught with peril. As the stage defies gravity by turning, twisting, and tilting, the performers engage physically with one another through aerial stunts on horizontal and vertical planes.
