The Talented Terry Fator Introduces New Character "Rusty The Robot"

Terry Fator & Rusty the Robot

He’s got TALENT! Terry Fator recently celebrated the 6^th Anniversary of his hit show “Terry Fator: The VOICE of Entertainment” by introducing a new addition to his roster of loveable puppets.   Rusty The Robot is The Mirage’s new prototype robot designed to do the jobs of all employees. While you may think he’s a big fan of heavy metal, he’s actually able to sing virtually any song in any voice! From the Tin Man and Elvis to Bruno Mars and Garth Brooks, he has a voice to be reckoned with and an intellect second to none.

If you have not seen the Terry Fator show then be sure and put it on the list of “things to do” while in Vegas. He keeps the show relevant with sly funny jokes that poke fun of our recent slate of “celebrities.” His champagne joke that uses a heavily searched internet picture of Kim Kardashian is hilarious! Fator’s humor is sharp and at time will make you go “OH NO” as you are laughing at the audaciousness of his comments.  The mainstay of his show continues to be crowd favorite Winston the Impersonating Turtle who propelled Fator to his win on the hit show “America’s Got Talent.” Winston decides to branch out and try his luck in Hollywood and soon has a full slate of “B” movies coming out which will have you laughing uproariously at their takes on hit movies such as “Turtle Recall.” Does Winston return to the stage in Vegas? See the show and find out! Another favorite is Vikki the Cougar, this aging tempting temptress has gone Hollywood and has the chest to show for it. She is always on the prowl for young men and can be tempted by RICH men. Vikki you are a true cougar.    

Not only is his show funny Fator donates portions of his merchandise sales to charity Wounded Warriors. Which makes him that much more endearing; and Vegas has taken him to heart as one of our own. He recently made headlines regarding the impending status of is 2^nd marriage and there was a slight chill in the air as his soon to be ex-wife Taylor Makakoa took the stage. However like the radiation from the sands of Area 51 this too shall pass and Fator and his show will go on.

Since Fator is a ventriloquist it is always a treat to see him sing and perform onstage in his own voice without a puppet.  He starts the show singing his version of “Just a Gigolo” and then also adds solo performances of songs from his new CD It Starts Tonight including “Live” and “Heroes.” 

The Terry Fator show continues to be one our favorite shows on the LV Strip and with spiraling ticket prices, a wonderful value! 

Tickets for Terry Fator: The VOICE of Entertainment start at $59.99, plus applicable taxes and fees. A “Most Valuable Package” (MVP) Experience is available for $149.99 per ticket, plus applicable taxes and fees. The MVP Experience includes premium seating, an autographed photo, a souvenir show program and a complimentary drink.  PLUS there are special discounts for Military personnel.

Tickets can be purchased at the Terry Fator Theatre box office, by phone at 702-792-7777 or

800-963-9634 or online at mirage.com. For more information, visit terryfator.com.

The Gluten & Grain Free Gourmet supports delicious eating that is gluten, grain, soy, and poultry free. Jen Cuevas experienced her own journey to wellness by eating this way, and desires to share the message that life can still be delicious!

In the time since her diagnosis, Jen has spent a lot of time learning. She was treated by Dr. Glen Aukerman (author: Better Health in 120 days) and attended all of his classes to understand the medical aspect of how various foods affect gluten sensitivity. After further health issues inspired her to do more research, Jen went completely grain and soy free in 2012, and became a certified coach under the direction of Gluten Free Society. She uses her own health journey to coach and inspire others to consider dietary changes as a way to achieve optimum health. In 2013 she established a support group, and found that food availability continued to be the biggest barrier to success. She began developing food products that support a grain-free, soy-free and even dairy-free lifestyle; many items are allergy-friendly and are free of refined sugars. She also offers allergen-free Communion to churches, raising awareness about the effects of gluten exposure.

Michelle’s work in gluten-free and lactose-free living was inspired by her husband, who developed intolerance to gluten and lactose several years into their marriage. The development upended their eating habits completely. But over time they’ve worked together to create a fantastic allergen-friendly lifestyle.

NASCAR From My Experience! I LOVED It! You Can Too In 2016!

The Pit where refueling and tires are replaced 

The Big Haulers that are used transport the cars 

The NASCAR experience! The all American sport that has beautiful sleek fast cars with motors that hum with power going over 180 miles per hour, what is not to like about this sport? Every year one of the biggest highlights of Las Vegas is the week in March when NACSAR madness takes over the city and culminates with the Kobalt 400. Race enthusiast from around the world flock to our fair city to not only have fun but to watch this thrilling sport and to take part of the events leading up to Sunday’s big race; Boyd gaming sponsors the event and at many of their properties fans had the opportunity to meet their NASCAR heroes up close and personal. Legendary driver Jeff Gordon Driver of the No. 24 Pepsi Chevrolet SS appeared at The Orleans and thrilled fans who had the chance to meet him and over at the Fremont Hotel Carl Edwards, Driver of the No. 19 ARRIS Toyota had his personal appearance event.  

Driver Jimmie Johnson of the No. 48 Lowe's/Kobalt Tools-sponsored Chevrolet SS pitched in for Habitat for Humanity and helped frame a house for a local Las Vegas family. Gee that would be nice, “Yes I live in the house that NASCAR Championship winner Jimmie Johnson built!” But seriously all of the drivers make appearances and use their championship status for various charity events.   

The Las Vegas Motor Speedway is located 15 miles northeast of the Las Vegas Strip and is an astounding 1,200-acre complex of multiple tracks for motorsports racing. On race week-end the RV’s both small and uber luxurious park in the infield and on the upper rim to BBQ, drink, and trade NASCAR stories. If you truly want the NASCAR Las Vegas experience rent an RV and settle in for race week-end!  Be a true VIP NASCAR and go for the:

NASCAR tires

If staying in an RV is not your style many hotels have travel packages that include NASCAR features and can be found on the LVMS website - www.lvms.com/tickets/nascar_weekend/. But let’s get back to why NASCAR is so much darn fun!  Fast cars and handsome guys with nerves of steel competing to cross the finish line first and see the checkered flag, what is not to like about that? Your average every day car weighs somewhere between 3,000 to 3,500  pounds, a NASCAR car with the driver who must weigh in before race time, just like a jockey, must weigh  3,300 pounds.  The rules account for a muscular NASCAR driver weighing 140 pounds to equal the 3,300 pounds, well we will just have to take their word for it that NASCAR drivers are that light but I guess it all averages out.  If they do not weigh in before race time, yes they are penalized, just ask Driver Tony Stewart who was penalized in Daytona for failing to weigh in and no he was not a happy driver about it!  Back to the cars, the NASCAR cars; the average car compact style has 130-150 HP and a mid-size family car has 160-180 HP and a large/luxury car has 265-330 HP.  NOW a NASCAR has 860-900 HP.  They can reach a top speed of 200 mph! This was reduced from top speeds of 230-240 after a series of serious accidents took place in the 1980’s. Oh yes and of course the tires, a NASCAR tire has no tread so you might find it difficult to drive on a regular street, but on the track going at such high speeds the tires and the asphalt are both so hot they stick together.  Science as it finest!  So you tell me which car would you rather own? I know which one I would rather own, yes the NASCAR! 

As the cars race around the track the only way that I can describe the sound is the hum of power; the hum of powerful engines with cars racing at close to 200 mph that makes the ground shake. Like an army must sound as they race towards their target.

This year’s race was a heartbreaker for Driver Kasey Kahne as he had contact with Carl Edwards off Turn  with less than 75 laps to go. Could you keep your cool going 200 mph and being bumped and then staying on track? That is why these drivers are such amazing athletes.

Watch it here -  www.foxsports.com/nascar/story/kasey-kahne-carl-edwards-las-vegas-motor-speedway-wreck-in-kobalt-tools-400-030815?fb_action_ids=940842112593123&fb_action_types=perfectshare%3Ashare&fb_ref=socialnews_foxsports_foxsports.com_tbx_sharing_1

Jimmie Johnson car in the Neon Garage for repairs

Our hometown boys the Busch boys were not in this year’s race so our next favorite was Jimmie Johnson who ran into his own problems and his car ended back in the Neon garage for a quick fix and he was back into the race but finished 41^st . The winner of this year’s race was Driver Kevin Harvick who drives a Chevrolet SS, which you can buy at any local Chevrolet dealer but your Chevy SS will have a mere 415 HP.  

If you are a NASCAR fan then you must experience Las Vegas during our NASCAR week, if you are a woman who loves fast cars you will LOVE NASCAR! In all honesty NASCAR week-end in Vegas is the place to be and it is probably for the best that traffic after the race is bumper to bumper or we all might be driving our own NASCAR race home.

Tickets for NASCAR 2016 are now on sale and can be purchased here - www.lvms.com/. Plus keep in mind that there are events going on every month at the LVMS - www.lvms.com/tickets/schedule/.

Iconic Riviera Hotel Looks Back With #RivFacts With Dolly Parton

With its doors closing to the public Monday, May 4, 2015, the renowned Riviera Hotel & Casino is counting down its final weeks with a look back at some of the highlights, fun facts, celebrity sightings and rarely-seen photos that have helped build the iconic stature of the Las Vegas Strip’s first high-rise hotel and casino.
