La Vida A.C.

Latin sensation Ricky Martin finally makes his Atlantic City debut February 10 when he performs at Borgata.

Martin is on tour to support his latest album, Life, his first English-language album since 2000. The first single, "I Don't Care," features Fat Joe and Amerie, and was followed by the contagious "Drop It On Me."

The one-time lead singer of Menudo was one of the most popular music stars of the 1990s thanks to his crisp voice and sharp looks.

The 34-year-old Mexican star, best known for his superhit "Livin' la Vida Loca," has crossed over into television and Broadway, starring in ABC's long-running soap General Hospital and Les Miserables on Broadway.

Mixing pop, rock, and of course, Latin sensibilities, Martin became a national star thanks to songs like "Loca," "She Bangs" and "She's All I Ever Had." Martin is trying to mount a comeback after 2000's Sound Loaded, a commercial disappointment. So far, Life seems like it may be that comeback album for Martin, debuting at No. 6 on the Billboard charts. His tour stops have also sold out regularly.
