 America's Neil Diamond Tribute
Jay White is a convincing '80s-era Neil Diamond, albeit sometimes a little too casual and jokey. Devout fans should be satisfied with a show that has no production value or narrative arc to lure the less enthusiastic. (Riviera)
Barbra and Frank - The Concert That Never Was
Sharon Owens and Sebastian Anzaldo actually pull off the wacky premise of teaming a '90s-era Barbra Streisand with the snap-brimmed, skinny-tied Frank Sinatra of the '50s. There's a sense of care and detail to a show that attempts to rise above the staging limitations of an enclosed lounge and mixes recorded tracks with live piano. (Riviera)
Gordie Brown
The likability of this singing impressionist overcomes a lot of so-so song parodies in an act that falls somewhere between comedy clubs and old-school Vegas headliners. (The Venetian)
'Steve Connolly's Spirit of the King'
Steve Connolly strikes a fun, playful tone that lets the crowd know he's very much his own person and a born showman. But also pays honest tribute to the music of Elvis Presley by keeping the sound rootsy and authentic. (Fitzgeralds)
Fab Four Mania An established Beatles tribute band cloned itself for a sit-down run in Las Vegas. The live band offers three segments saluting the 1964 mop tops, the "Sgt. Pepper" era and a "Let It Be" finale. (Aladdin)
 Danny Gans
The singing impressionist is back in stride at The Mirage, returning with the energy of his early days in Las Vegas and a tighter act. (Mirage)
Elton John
If you can get past those major qualifiers, the larger truth is as big as the giant screen: "The Red Piano" perfectly captures the contrast between John's diva-glam persona and the grit underscoring his music, reinterpreting classic songs while celebrating a career that's still moving forward. (Caesars Palace)
|  | | | Barry Manilow
Barry Manilow's Las Vegas career goes back to 1976, and his exclusive residency at the Las Vegas Hilton feels, for better or worse, like a show from a veteran Las Vegas entertainer that could have been there a long time already. The king of '70s pop balladry plays to his fan base and doesn't do much to broaden his appeal beyond loyalists. But his voice has aged well and his showman's instincts are in sync with the legends he salutes in an original tune, "Here's to Las Vegas." (Las Vegas Hilton)
The Platters, Cornell Gunter's Coasters and Beary Hobbs' Drifters
Gunter and Hobbs are dead, so authenticity isn't exactly the issue in this package of oldies vocal groups. Yet all three acts offer seasoned performers who will pass the scrutiny of all but the serious musicologist. Ultimately, it's all about a nonstop parade of hits, delivered with showmanship and authority. (Sahara)
Laugh Out Loud with the Scintas
This crowd-pleasing "show band" meets somewhere between Wayne Newton and the Smothers Brothers, balancing shtick with sentimentality. (Las Vegas Hilton)
Toni Braxton: Revealed
The '90s pop star's likable personality sells a sexy diva showcase that recalls the Ann-Margret era of Las Vegas, yet doesn't rise to the level Braxton's stardom once promised. It's a fun show that reconnects with old fans, but the constant interplay and Braxton's diminished vocals keep the hits from having the resonance they should. (Las Vegas Flamingo)

It's day-one of the March Madness tournament. Aside from the Super Bowl, this weekend will be the busiest of the year for the sports books.
Where should you go? Really, it doesn't matter -- they're all hopping.
A couple of the biggest parties will be at the Las Vegas Hilton and Orleans. Some of the better deals we've seen advertised are 75-cent hot dogs at Coasts and Sam's Town and a free (regulation-size) basketball for a $20 parlay at the Orleans. The scene will be similar all weekend long.

The most anticipated
New musical to hit The Strip has finally arrived as JERSEY BOYS, the story
Of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, starts preview performances today at
The Palazzo Las Vegas. The show's Opening Night Gala is scheduled for May
3.
"After two wonderful years on Broadway, in Chicago, San Francisco,
Around the country and most recently in London, we are delighted to open a
Brand new company in Las Vegas. We have every hope to make the new theater
In the recently opened Palazzo a JERSEY BOYS home for a long time to come.
Vegas is part of The Four Seasons history and we are excited to bring our
Version of that true story to such a singular market," says JERSEY BOYS
Producer Michael David.
Led by Erich Bergen (Bob Gaudio), Rick Faugno (Frankie Valli), Jeremy
Kushnier (Tommy DeVito) and Jeff Leibow (Nick Massi) as The Four Seasons,
This coast-to-coast sensation is not to be missed.
"JERSEY BOYS is an internationally-celebrated show appealing to a wide
Range of audiences and is a perfect complement to Las Vegas and The
Palazzo," stated Rob Goldstein, president and chief operating officer of
The Palazzo. "JERSEY BOYS will be among great company with our already
Existing lineup of world-class entertainment at our sister property, The
Venetian, including Phantom -- The Las Vegas Spectacular, Blue Man Group
And Wayne Brady."
A unique, custom-built theatre will house JERSEY BOYS Las Vegas and is
Currently the only place on the West Coast to see this runaway hit. Adorned
With special period influences and one-of-a-kind memorabilia from The Rock

Rhino Records won the Grammy Award for Best Show Recording and remains one
Of the best-selling show CDs in the US.
JERSEY BOYS is the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons: Frankie
Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi. This is the story of how a
Group of blue-collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks became one of
The biggest American pop music sensations of all time. They wrote their own
Songs, invented their own sounds and sold 175 million records worldwide --
All before they were thirty. The show features such hits as "Sherry," "Big
Girls Don't Cry," "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You," "Oh, What a Night," and
Many more.

Criss Angel finally has a date.
At Luxor, that is. The illusionist seemingly has no problem conjuring up escorts from models to Hollywood starlets. His custom-built Cirque du Soleil show at Luxor has been long in the works, even before Luxor had begun switching away from their Egyptian theme. But now, an end is in sight for performances beginning Sept. 12 (previews start Sept. 1). The show will be called Criss Angel Believe, named after Harry Houdini's code word to his wife to prove he could speak to the living after his death. Believe will contain illusions woven into a story about a surreal Victorian Noble (played by Angel) who runs into mysterious characters and dancers. Tickets went on sale for fans of Angel (see crissangel.com) and Cirque Club Members. Tickets range from $59 to $150 and can be reserved up to four months in advance. | |

Madonna Tickets
Saturday, November 08, 2008 - TBA

Her tour begins right after her 50th birthday. It begins Aug. 23 in Wales and different parts of Europe before landing in North America (New Jersey) on Oct. 3. She performs at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Nov. 8.

New 'Mamma Mia! Offer Mandalay Bay is discounting Mamma Mia! Tickets to $55 and $41.25 through Dec. 21 (limit eight tickets per person). Strangely, while the promotional e-mail says "final performance January 4, 2009," the click-through page proclaims "Indefinite engagement." Also, no December dates are yet available through the Web site, which also had difficulty accessing ticket info for most of November. Still, given what it costs to see even a low-budget show on the Strip, this is an extraordinary bargain play.
