Divas Las Vegas on the Strip!! Joan congratulates Frank Marino!

Frank Marino received a belated congratulations for his 25 years as the longest-running single headliner on the Las Vegas Strip on Thursday, Sept.30.

Rescheduled due to two unplanned surgeries, Marino returned to the Divas Las Vegas stage at Imperial Palace this week. Originally festivities had been planned for last Thursday but Frank was admitted to the hospital. After the regular show, executives from SPI Entertainment presented Marino with a divalicious cake that included edible lipsticks and mini TVs with rotating images of Marino through the years. Kind words and warm congratulations were offered but the most heartfelt came from Marino’s idol herself – Joan Rivers. Rivers congratulated Marino for making a career off of hers and even threw in that he looks better in her leftover couture gowns.
