In 1988, after receiving a personal invitation from Siegfried and Roy in Las Vegas, the world famous magic illusionists at the Mirage Hotel, Aldag flew from Germany to Las Vegas arriving in America for the first time in his life. He came specifically to give them a private exhibition of his artworks. Roy was so impressed by his work that he told Aldag, "For every artist, there is a place in the universe; be patient and you will find your place among the stars!" He painted many of the circus animals and celebrites of the 90's.
