Roy Horn will make an emotional return to the scene of the October 2003 tiger attack.
A spokesman for Siegfried & Roy confirmed on Saturday that the iconic illusionists will be attending the June 30 premiere of "Love," the Cirque du Soleil-Beatles show at The Mirage.

A complete makeover of the theater has rendered it unrecognizable from the days of Siegfried & Roy's 13-year run at The Mirage.
"But I'm sure Siegfried & Roy left some magic in that theater," said Dave Kirvin, their spokesman.
He confirmed it will be Horn's first visit to the theater since Oct. 3, 2003, when Montecore, one of the show's white tigers, turned on his master.
It figures to be a highly charged evening, with Siegfried & Roy re-entering their former theater and surviving Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr making a rare public appearance together.
Horn will have mixed feelings, Kirvin said.
"I imagine it will be emotional, but Siegfried and Roy have always known theaters are for performances. They've always been fans of Cirque du Soleil and fans of The Beatles, so they're excited to see the show."
THE SCENE AND HEARD
French star chef Guy Savoy, who opened his same-named restaurant about a week ago in the Augustus tower at Caesars Palace, is staying fit and fighting stress by taking kung fu lessons from a trainer. Raves flew around our table for the bite-sized brioche appetizer layered with olive paste, oysters in ice gelee, the incomparable artichoke soup with black truffles and tableside cheese cart service. ...
It's the end of the road for "Avenue Q" tonight at Wynn Las Vegas. Princeton, Kate, Lucy the Slut, Rod and Trekkie Monster take their final bows in Las Vegas after the 10 p.m. performance. Expect tears to flow freely for this gem of a show that couldn't find its audience here. It opens June 28 in London.
