Scantily clad, the performers of Planet Hollywood”s Peepshow bring high energy to an array of sexual fantasies. At the start of the show, we see a short video about a young woman who comes home to a dog and an empty house. As she falls to sleep, she is enveloped by the sexual fantasies of her dreams and her quest to find a man.

The cast, currently led by former Spice Girl Mel B and Kelly Monaco, bring these fantasies alive through dance and song. Throughout the show, the performers are careful not to bare it all. Instead, they attempt to tease audience members by showing just enough flesh to augment the fantasies they are portraying.

Mel B

Kelly Monaco

It is clear that this show is designed for both men and women. Prior to the show starting, Mel B reassures the audience that there is plenty of flesh for both everyone. Though the performers are primarily female, there are several men who sing and dance for the delight of the women of the audience. Their role is not just to entertain the women, but to allow the young woman to transform herself from a state of near innocence to learning that being naughty can be fun.

As the story progresses, we watch the young woman gradually lose her clothes along with her inhibitions. She is the true tease of the show, as the audience awaits her transformation from nice to naughty. Throughout her transformation, she is witness to sexual fantasies such as “Three Men in a Tub” and “The Big Bad Wolf.” Because of the show”s quick pace, nearly every possible fantasy is explored, giving this show wide range appeal. There is truly something for everyone, including bachelors, bachelorettes, desperate housewives, and couples that simply want to spice up their night.

Highlights abound! First, the vocalists have tremendous talent. It is clear that Mel B is still an outstanding singer and the other singers in the show are equally talented. The dancers are also quite skilled. The dance routines are demanding and complex; tremendous physical strength and talent are an absolute necessity for these performers. Also, the choreography is well matched to the fantasies being portrayed and these dancers do not miss a beat.

At the end of the show, Mel B”s enthusiasm is boundless as she urges the audience to “go home and get laid!” If you are interested in a romp Sin City style, this is certainly the show to see. So, get your “peeps” and enjoy the show.

Impressionist, singer and entertainer Gordie Brown takes you on a wild ride, in his show “Gordie Brown Live” at the Golden Nugget, and you won’t want to get off. Most of the show is made up of songs heralded by famous musicians and spoofed by this amazing talent. In addition to his phenomenal mimicry, Gordie replaces the song lyrics with his own and you can’t stop laughing. Brown is backed by a talented band.

He nails Randy Travis singing without moving his lips, jumps around the stage as an aging Mick Jagger, shows us what an oversexed Tom Jones looks like and hurts himself in order to reach the high notes as Joe Cocker. We hear Bruce Springsteen’s take on Internet Dating, Barenaked Ladies ordering a meal with Chris Isaac finding a roach in his soup. Brown moves seamlessly from performer to performer, poking fun at the idiosyncrasies that set each one apart. One of the highlights of the show is of Sean Connery, Ray Romano, Nicolas Cage, John Travolta, Christopher Walken and Chris Rock all auditioning for the role of Batman.

Brown doesn’t let the politicians off the hook either. During a hilarious spoof between Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator, who has trouble reading and needs “Hooked On Phonics,” and George Bush who lacks brain cells, Gordie Brown’s genius lets loose. The result of his clever and quick mind is humorthat is a delight to watch. His impersonation of our new president, Barack Obama, talking with his hands is dead-on. If Jesse Jackson had become our first black President, he’d still be giving his inaugural speech. We also get to see what it would’ve been like if Bill Cosby had been elected. And the best part is – none of it is offensive as it’s done in great fun.

Then it’s back to the music. Brown’s take on the Rat Pack include a cross-eyed Sammy Davis Jr. singing “Mr. Bojangles” and Frank Sinatra crooning “I’ll Do It My Way.” Impersonations of Jimmy Stewart and Katherine Hepburn are hilarious. Louis Armstrong’s “It’s a Wonderful World” sung by Gordie is flat-out amazing.

This talented performer shows us what it would’ve been like if Coldplay had written the soundtrack to “Brokeback Mountain.” We see how Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Achy Breaky Heart” could morph into the Barney theme song, and instead of Willie Nelson singing “To All The Girls I’ve Loved Before,” it’s much funnier when he replaces the lyrics with “To All The Plants I’ve Smoked Before.” Imagine Usher as a theater usher, Vanilla Ice as a white rapper and a white dancer, and Neil Young – not so young, but practically on his deathbed. Vegas Icon Wayne Newton is made fun of for building a $30 million fence for his penguins who can’t fly.

Brown has received rave reviews by both critics and audiences alike and you’ll see why. This is one of the best shows in Las Vegas which you won’t want to miss. Gordie Brown can be seen at the Golden Nugget every Tuesday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

For Trent Carlini Tickets call 702-777-9974

by Nicole “Niko” Acevedo
 
Hip-shakin’, heel-tappin’, finger-snappin’, and smooth-talkin’. Trent Carlini is back on his hog and ridin’ into town with an all new “Elvolution” show for Elvis fans of every generation. On my left sat a sweet couple delighting in Carlini’s vibrant tribute of the Elvis they once knew, reminiscing of the good ol’ times after the show. Elvis once shined under Las Vegas lights, performing at the International Hotel (currently the Las Vegas Hilton). Now with his slicked back jet black pompadour and waaaay cool sideburns, Trent Carlini keeps the ladies screaming with excitement and stealing kisses from him all night long.
 
Elvolution highlights Elvis’ successful musical career starting with the classic rock n’ roll tunes of “Blue Suede Shoes”, “Don’t Be Cruel” and “Shake, Rattle & Roll”. Carlini’s voice is strong and wide-ranging, his movements engaging. With every sway of the hip the audience can’t help but dance in their seats and clap to the beat.

Like the couple beside me, those of you who experienced the days of The King himself will discover that fond memories emerge from the recesses of your psyche as Carlini evokes the energy of what made Elvis the King of Rock & Roll. From a very young age, Trent Carlini has been drawn to rock ‘n’ roll and was greatly influenced by The King and his impact on the music and culture of that time. Since Elvis’ death, Carlini has dedicated his musical career to pay tribute to The King and keep his unique style and music alive.
 
Lovebirds and Elvis movie fans will especially enjoy Carlini’s performances of the title love songs from the movies Blue Hawaii and Love Me Tender. The women could hardly contain themselves as The Dream King handed out Hawaiian leis accompanied by flirtatious kisses. 

Arrive early, grab some drinks, and lounge inside Triq Nightclub on the first level of the Wyrick Theatre and connect with fellow Elvis lovers and others from in and out of town. Located at the Steve Wyrick Theatre inside the Miracle Mile Shops of Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, treat yourself to an evening unlike any other on the Strip and see The Dream King perform a total of 20 classic hits. Remember classic isn’t old… it’s timeless!

At first glance Penn & Teller’s show might seem the anti-Vegas Las Vegas show. With no fancy props, bedazzled showgirls or big-screen video embellishments, the pair cut to the heart of smoke, mirrors and illusions, yet still manage to leave audiences amazed and mystified by their stripped down, inside-out magic, as well as thoroughly amused by the accompanying sidebar antics. 30 years performing throughout the world uniquely prepared these magician/comic/entertainers for their sit-down engagement at The Rio, now in its 5th year (shows 9pm nightly Sat-Wed)

Ticket holders may be seated up to an hour in advance to enjoy the jazzy rhythms of the Mike Jones Duo, a virtual mini-show in itself. Throughout the set, Jones invites audience members up on stage to “look at a box and sign an envelope” – both props to be used later in the show. Just how they are used we won’t give away here. Not that it’s certain Penn & Teller would even mind. After all, their stock and trade, celebrated throughout the show, is all about giving away the secrets – of magicians, mystics and assorted charlatans. As world renowned authors, Broadway and film performers, and stars of their own TV show and specials, Penn’s in–your-face personality along with Teller’s mime-savant persona are well-known in most circles.

In terms of upholding their reputations, the two do not disappoint here at The Rio. Employing a variety of standard magic bits from a simple Cups & Balls
illusion to the more dramatic Sawing a Lady in Halves, Penn & Teller manage to inject their unique take and unexpected punchline every time. Other parts of the act incorporate totally unusual devices, such as an Airport Metal Detector. And Penn’s romantic fire-eating interlude is in a category all its own, as is his nail-biting nail gun routine. Teller, despite his trademark staunch silence, shines every bit as brightly in many acts highlighting his deft sleight of hand skills.

A double-barreled finale fittingly rounds out this evening of magic, mirth and mayhem. Both Penn and Teller have honed their individual styles and abilities of audience interaction to perfection, thus making this anti-Vegas show perhaps the ultimate Vegas experience by creating an intimate and lasting connection with the audience.

“Barbra & Frank, The Concert That Never Was…” at the Riviera Hotel & Casino is pure Vegas entertainment. Imagine if you will, an evening with two of the greatest musical icons of the 20th Century – Barbra Streisand and Frank Sinatra, together on the same stage. It never happened. It never could have happened. But Sharon Owens and Sebastian Anzaldo will make you feel as if it did, with you
right there in the audience. Frankie starts the night off with the classic “I’ve Got A Crush On You.”

Anzaldo is dapper and debonair as Sinatra and quickly pulls you into the illusion. He’s got Frankie down. The voice and the physicality is unmistakably Sinatra. Owens’ Streisand has all the mannerisms of the real Streisand – the long nails, the hair. But it’s when she opens her mouth that she becomes Barbra. Her nasally speaking voice is true to character. She delivers the songs like a pro.

The relationship between these two is magic. Sinatra is cool and aloof, wanting to do his thing, while Streisand doesn’t let him get away with anything and takes great pleasure in pestering him, ribbing him and delivering the delicious personality she’s famous for.

Streisand wants in on the act and Sinatra tries to snub her, saying he only records alone. That doesn’t stop our stubborn and sassy Babs, who makes sure that she’s heard. Owens butts right in with “Luck Be A Lady” which beautifully showcases her skill. She then belts out some show stoppers, while a long video sequence from “Funny Girl” plays. Songs include “Second Hand Rose,” “Don’t Rain On My Parade,” “Woman In Love” You forget that the woman onstage isn’t Barbra Streisand. The musical numbers include ‘60’s Broadway and ‘70’s Disco, including “No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)” which Streisand performed with Donna Summer.

Before doing some duets with Barbra, Sinatra gives us “I’ve Got The World On A String,” “Strangers In The Night,” “Come Fly With Me,” “My Way” and “That’s Life.” Then the duets begin. Both of them singing “It Was A Very Good Year” while a montage showed the early years of Sinatra’s life was powerful and poignant. While the montage continues, Owens sings “Memories.” The following duet of “The Way We Were” is also memorable.

In between their witty and comedic bantering, Streisand and Sinatra entertain us with “The Way You Were,” “They Can’t Take That Away From Me,” “All Of Me and “Witchcraft.” The show ends with some more beautiful duets: “I Love You,” “When Somebody Knows You,” “Happy Days Are Here Again (Get Happy”) and“Somewhere (There’s A Place For Us).” With the accompaniment of pianist Joey Singer, you can’t go wrong with “Barbra & Frank, The Concert That Never Was…” No matter what your age, If you’re a fan of this era - this is a show you won’t want to miss. With two strong personalities onstage, it shouldn’t come as any surprise when they argue about who will close the show. You will want to know. So, come on down to the Riviera and find out.

With the Credit Crunch/ Down Turn/ Recession (call it what you will) slowly draining away everyones hard earned cash as well as their morale and patience one wonders if the big fish on The Strip are getting at all nervous. At around $190 Dollars a ticket those members of the public both brave and rich enough to be visiting Sin-City must be having second thoughts about venturing into the MGM, The Mirage or the soon to be open Las Vegas CityCenter. But this is the Land of Opportunity and where some shows may be experiencing a down turn in their ticket sales others may be experiencing a joyful increase in their bank balance. X-Burlesque may still be going and the Brat Pack may allegedly be back but the Stratosphere Hotel and casino is packing their audience in thanks to a coven of so called gorgeous looking topless vampire love angels who passionately perform a titilating and roller coaster ride of a show called BITE.

These beautiful vampirish femm-fetales are a lovable and sexy looking mixture of Daisy Dukes and Victoria beckham lookalikes who all answer to such names as Tush or Pain. Naturally the leader of the coven is a beautiful and sexy adonis of man who with his false fangs and light blue contact lenses turns out to be the Vampire King. A vampire king that is who strikes a not so surprisingly similar look to that of the James Bond character DR-Death from the movie Live and Let Die. Throw in some magic coffins that make women disappear, a large black grand piano that helps the vampire ladies appear and some rather predictable rock tunes (Born to be Wild) and you have an erotic but decently priced show that caters to an audience who are very comfortably accomodated in an excellent cocktail lounge.

The girls though beautiful and very sexy also contrast well with each other while the show is further complimented by an excellent ariel act not to mention a lead vocalist with the perfect voice for such a show. One could however be forgiven that the false fangs and rock music is just an excuse for the ladies to show off their best assets, but as the evening progresses so does the action.

The creators of BITE I think should be congratulated for choosing the right kind of theme that would compliment a group of Artists like this, however one bizarre moment occurs when towards the end of the night the all girl coven suddenly burst into their own vampire ballet. This puzzled the audience as for most of the night the girls seemed to be performing dance that was more exotic than balletic. Eventually however the conclusion emerges in the guise of the adonis Vampire King finally finding his erotic Vampire Queen.

It wasn’t until I saw the 1980’s movie The-Howling did I finally appreciate the hotness of the topless vampire. Being seduced by a young and nubile female vampire coven I thought must be the ultimate fantasy for men (and women) who wish to grow old disgracefully. And, it must also be the ultimate secret weapon that downtown Las Vegas can deploy against the big boys in up town Sin-City.

While Bite is only a small topless revue it does possess (other than heart, passion and beautiful women) seats at affordable prices And for this you get comfort, good service and excellent entertainment.

Fresh and mature is the oxymoron that best describes Emmy award winning comedian Dana Carvey. This comic who enjoyed a seven year run on Saturday Night Live and may best be known for his portrayal of “Garth” in Wayne’s World, has matured with his comedy, bringing wisdom to his stand-up performance that attracts a diverse crowd. Entertaining young adults to senior citizens, Carvey delivers laughter on almost every subject, drawing inspiration from current events as well as his own life.

Before entering the stage, the audience giggles at a short video of Carvey’s earlier work, which includes the Church Lady, Hans of Hans and Franz, as well as his impressions of George Bush, Sr.

The Carvey of “Then” is still much a part of Carvey today, as he still enjoys impersonating Bush Sr., as well as Bush Jr., even making himself giggle “What a freak show that was!,” Carvey exclaims about the most recent Bush Administration. Of course, he then quipped that the current Congressional leadership is a “freak show” as well, and he admits he is not quite sure what to make of Obama, a President who can give a ten-minute answer to a single question.

Carvey’s appeal however is not in his ability to portray Presidents, but rather in his ability to keep his material fresh and up-to-date. Unlike many comedians, Carvey has evolved with his art and allows his maturity into his act, making his comedy more real and accessible as he discusses the trials and tribulations of having teen age children, as well as the realization of the passing of time when he received his AARP card. Glimpses into Carvey’s personal life makes his show more enjoyable and entertaining. The older crowd can relate to having teen children who have suddenly decided that their parents know nothing. The younger crowd can remember thinking that their parents knew nothing when they were in high school. Is this really fresh Absolutely. Carvey is keenly aware of current events and this shines through as he touches on the universal experience of family life.

From politicians to ordinary people, no one is safe from Carvey’s incredible voices, quick wit, and improvisation. As a caveat, if you do not want to be picked on, do not sit in the front row at his show. Like many comedians, he will ask about your life and turn it into a joke; however, he may also want to sing about it. Carvey has an incredible knack for quickly turning personal information into a fun folk song. Indeed, Carvey loves to strum the guitar and sing a tale of woe. As Carvey would say, “What a freak show!”

George Wallace has been thinkin’, and his audience is privy to the hilarious results in his show, I Be Thinkin’, in the Flamingo Hotel Showroom.

Attendees are treated to a classic show experience similar to what visitors of Vegas’ heyday must have experienced. Guests aren’t merely herded into a huge theatre constructed with hundreds of seats. Instead, a more genteel, supper club atmosphere is arranged in the showroom, more conducive to a comedy or variety show. The line meanders through the casino and into the showroom, a testament to Wallace’s popularity (as witnessed by his show having been voted best 10 pm show). A tuxedoed maitre ‘D greets guests and politely ushers audience members into the intimate yet comfortably sized showroom, where vintage banquette seating houses groups of three to eight, ideal for attending with family, friends and coworkers.

Additionally, several long tables flank the stage and provide seating for about 20 people each, no doubt providing prime material for Wallace’s largely improvised performance. Be warned: if you choose stage-side seating, you may become funny fodder for the comedian’s act.

Opening the show, an a capella band of six young men called Mosaic serve to warm up the audience for 10-15 minutes with impressive musical melodies performed entirely without instruments, after which time a dashingly dressed Wallace joins the group on stage and begins his comedic banter. After his good-natured assault on the band, Wallace turns his attention to his audience. (Editors Note: Wallace may or may not have an opening act and the act is subject to change).

Wallace playfully teases a select few audience members, usually the ones making the most noise. If you’d prefer to be excluded from his mockery, don’t draw attention to yourself or sit further back in the theatre. But Wallace’s jokes and jibes always remain innocuous and well placed, and offense need never be taken.

Running the gamut from topical humor and regional ridicule to commonplace curiosities and Seinfeldian observation, it seems Wallace can make fun of anything. Sometimes sharp, sometimes silly but always funny, Wallace also ventures into more edgy comedic territory, and no one is safe from his onslaught. From midgets to the elderly, from cops to yo ‘mama, Wallace’s material remains relatable and relevant yet uproariously raucous. Touching on religious humor, Wallace often invites self-described gospel singers from the audience to join him on stage and belt out a spiritual hymn, an unexpected but uplifting departure from his biting barbs.

Closing the show, a few lucky audience members are rewarded with giveaways such as DVDs, gas cards and even cash; evidence of Wallace’s appreciation and generosity towards his fans. Wallace then stages outside the theatre to meet and greet his fans in a gesture of accessibility and availability not often found elsewhere in Las Vegas.

A refreshing and nostalgic departure from the “New Vegas”, George Wallace’s show and indeed the whole experience recall the retro days of supper clubs, variety shows and pure, unrehearsed, unscripted entertainment. Its Las Vegas as it was and should be again: The Entertainment Capital of the World, indeed.

Still going after a quarter of a century on the Las Vegas Strip is the ultimate tribute spectacular called Legends In Concert! This nostalgic piece of what used to be called classic Vegas rotates it’s stars every three months thus serving up a regular and diverse diet of both comedic and musical impressionist headliners. Currently appearing on the bill according to Marcel Forestieri who plays Jay Leno is the creme de la creme of the musical tribute world. Naturally one would always prefer to see the actual legends themselves but should either death or retirement be the Artists problem or instead the publics purse strings be too tight then there is always the next best thing available. And at the Imperial Palace they are currently serving up the next best thing in the form of the impressionist worlds version of Donna Summer, Justin Timberlake, Ann Margret, Madonna and Elvis Presley.

Kicking off the show is Marva Scott’s rather muted and detached Donna Summer who for if it hadn’t have been for the fact that the real Donna Summer was projected on video screens at either side of the stage I would not have had a clue who the Artist was actually playing. Beautiful though her singing voice is I can’t help thinking that what is missing from Ms Scott’s portrayal of Donna Summer is any of the charisma that has actually made the original singer a star. In fact if there is one criticism to be made of the artists as a whole (with the exception of Lori Russo who plays Ann Margret) it is the fact that while they might look and sound like the people they are playing they unfortunately lack star status.

But what proves a legend to be a legend is the fact that there are people and performers out there in the entertainment world who want to earn a living portraying you.

Marcel Forestieri’s Jay Leno is certainly good enough to fill in the gaps between acts but I still yearn for the day when someone might step up to the plate and perhaps give us a Bill Maher, a Steven Colbert or even Heaven forbid a Bill O’Reilly!

Next up was Scott Jordan’s Justin Timberlake who’s confidence certainly grew with each song but dressed in a fully white suite and hat from head to toe he looked more like Gregory Peck from the movie The Boys From Brazil than an actual teen rock star. Again following the rather passive and bored Marva Scott seemed another Artist who at first seemed almost fatally unaware that he had an audience to perform to. Never the less he was a marked improvement on Donna Summer.

Following Timberlake the stage finally came alive with the titanic performance of Lori Russo who beautifully played with style, charisma and passion the 1960’s movie legend Ann Margret. Here was finally an Artist who quite literally mirrored the very star who was being projected on the video screens and who also threw absolutely everything of her unique talent into the fifteen minutes that was her spot in the show. If there is any reason at all to stump up the cash to see this show then I would say that it should be to see this wonderful old school and old style Vegas Artist give her all in front of the Legends In Concert Band. Clearly Lori Russo is an Artist who just loves to perform for her audience and with her great voice, great charm, great personality, great talent and great timing I could only wonder as to why someone somewhere has not already either booked her to support an actual star or instead given her her own show and a Viva Las Vegas Orchestra! Yes the star and saving grace of the show was indeed Lori Russo with her beautiful and generous tribute to the legend Ann Margret.

Coty Alexander with a rather predictable portrayal of Madonna, which only proves my opinion that the real Madonna is such an enigma that no one can ever come close to portraying anything other than caricature of the real woman. Like a Virgin wasn’t the highlight of the show. However… you probably didn’t go to Legends just to see Madonna.

It wasn’t until the very end that of course the show gave us The King! Interestingly enough even though Matt Lewis’s portrayal of the young Elvis sounded good it did however leave him looking insecure and awkward. I can only imagine that this is because he was having to play the character of Elvis without the fluff and nonsense that much later on became the cliche that Elvis himself felt difficult to live up to. In fact Lewis didn’t actually hit the spot and get into his stride until he himself had his own Elvis caricature to hide behind. That said the stage was happily revisited by Lori Russo who did an Elvis and Margret duet which left me with no doubt that the evening itself belonged to the stronger artists out of the group who were both Matt Lewis and Lori Russo.

Clearly this show has merit and is much loved by it’s audience otherwise it would not have survived the 25 years that it has been at the Imperial Palace. However if there is one thing that I managed to take away from the evening it was the fact that thanks to the performances of Lewis and Russo I was left with no doubt as to why the 20th Century will quite rightly go down in history as The Century Of America.

Crude, crass, and utterly amazing easily describes the laugh out loud performance of Anthony Cools, hypnotist and comedian extraordinaire. The Anthony Cools Experience is a tremendous exercise in what can happen when you give someone else power over your mind, pushing you to do things you probably would not consider.

As you enter the theater, you pass a sign stating that you are waiving any rights to what happens in the theater and that the Anthony Cools Experience has the right to videotape and sell what happens during the show. At the start of the show, a little white rabbit greets the audience with warnings about the
vulgar language and acts that will be performed; however, the rabbit does issue caveats regarding specific words that may not be uttered. This bunny sets the few lines that Cools will not cross.

After establishing the boundaries, Cools first asks for volunteers as he does not hypnotize anyone who does not want to be. However, after the five minutes it takes to put his volunteers in a trance, he takes those people off the stage who did not fall into a hypnotic state and replaces them with audience members who did. Warning: Do NOT fall asleep if you do not want to be a volunteer replacement!

After collecting all of his volunteers, Cools begins to hypnotize them to do both simple and completely bizarre acts. At the simplest, he hypnotized one lady to forget her name. With a completely blank stare on her face, “Nikki” did not even know her name when Cools directly said it to her.

Another volunteer was hypnotized to believe that every time he heard Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire” that behind was burning and the only way to put it out was to scoot his bottom along the stage. Of course, when hypnotizing this person, Cools used the least proper words possible in order to rouse the audience, intensifying the laughter and energy of the show.

Anthony Cools has always been fascinated with the paranormal, specifically hypnosis, and began performing in 1994. He advises the audience that historically people thought you could only be hypnotized if you were not very smart. Instead, he says the more intelligent you are, the easier it is to hypnotize you. According to Cools, the sharper you are, the more able you are to focus and visualize, allowing yourself to become vulnerable to the hypnotic state.

Volunteering at the Anthony Cools Experience is what makes the show. Every night is different as every audience is different. So, you are guaranteed a fresh show as no one can predict how the volunteers will react to the hypnosis. The only predictable part of this show is that Cools is a tremendous talent who is not afraid to push the envelope. Indeed, if you are not prepared to see, hear, and speak “evil”, then you will not enjoy the “experience”. Instead, if you are open-minded and enjoy outrageous shows performed by someone who has mastered an art, this show tickles the funny bone and hits the jackpot.
