Joining Monster Trucks Bigfoot and Ms. Bigfoot, Jet Cars, the world’s biggest names in professional drifting and the Wicked HP Drag Racing Series at The Strip at LVMS’s Back-to-School Bash will be a quartet of nitro-burning, ground-pounding old-school “diggers.”

Joining Murry will be Bob Richardson’s “Circuit Breaker,” Mike Fuller’s “Forever Young” and San Diego’s Rick White aboard Chuck Neil’s front-motored rail dragster. The ever-popular nostalgia racers blaze the quarter mile at speeds in excess of 250 mph.

Famed Romantic Singer comes to The Orleans! Engelbert Humperdinck!

Engelbert Humperdinck Brings Romance Back to The Orleans Showroom August 20-22

 

Grammy-nominated artist and international recording icon Engelbert Humperdinck brings his legacy of love, sensitive interpretation of lyrics and distinct charm to The Orleans Showroom stage August 20, 21 and 22, each evening at 8 p.m.

Although born Arnold George Dorsey in Madras, India, it was over four decades ago that Engelbert Humperdinck emerged as one of the foremost entertainers in the world.  Growing up, Humperdinck had a passion for the saxophone and scrimped and saved for weekly lessons. By the time he was 17, he found himself on stage singing and became quite popular in the United Kingdom.  After a military hiatus, he again emerged on the music scene with a new image and the name of a noted 19th century German composer. Thus, Engelbert Humperdinck was born and a phenomenon began.

Once called “The premier voice of the 20th century” by the London Times, Humperdinck first hit the charts with his smash hit “Release Me (And Let Me Love Again),” which went to No. 1 in 11 countries. The next decade brought such hits as “After the Lovin’,” “Winter World of Love,” “Am I That Easy To Forget,” “There Goes My Everything,” “This Moment In Time,” and “A Man Without Love.”

As a seasoned performer and singer extraordinaire, Humperdinck continues to captivate audiences with his ultra smooth charisma and inspiring collection of ballades. He has recorded more than 80 albums in his 40-year career including many multi-language versions, selling more than 150 million records worldwide—64 gold and 24 platinum albums.

Showtime is 8 p.m. Tickets are available starting from $54.95, plus tax and convenience fees, and can be purchased by calling the Box Office at 702.365.7075 or visiting www.orleanscasino.com. Save on convenience fees by purchasing the tickets in person at Coast Casinos.
