David Rice & Jimmy Kimmel

Acclaimed TV personality and longtime Las Vegas resident, Jimmy Kimmel, partnered with University of Las Vegas, Nevada Runnin’ Rebels Head Coach Dave Rice and his wife, Mindy, to host the third annual “An Evening with Dave Rice” gala May 17th inside the MGM Grand Conference Center. The upscale event benefitted the Dave Rice Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to the education and support of health initiatives including developmental disorders such as Autism and other charitable causes throughout Southern Nevada

Kimmel, an avid UNLV hoops fan, entertained guests throughout the night with his celebrated quick-witted humor and crowd interaction. Dave and Mindy Rice, along with former UNLV athletic director of communications, D.J. Allen, each made emotional presentations sharing their personal stories relating to Autism. Notable guests included former UNLV basketball star Stacey Augmon and former NBA star Jerome “Junkyard Dog” Williams, among others.

Nationally recognized speed painter, Tim Decker, performed live creating massive works of canvas art in mere minutes, including depictions of Frank Sinatra and the Statue of Liberty. Both paintings were sold in an exciting live auction, which also featured a backstage pass to “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” golf packages with Coach Dave Rice and an all-inclusive trip with the Runnin’ Rebels when the team travels to play the Kansas Jayhawks in January.

A highlight of the night came when Decker introduced a portrait of Kimmel into the auction, with the bidding starting at $2,500. Kimmel, encouraged by the crowd, proceeded to outbid himself on stage until purchasing the masterpiece for $10,000, all of which directly benefits the Dave Rice Foundation.

Dave and Mindy Rice ended the evening by presenting the Kenny Guinn Award for Commitment to Community to Dr. Nicole Cavanagh, clinical director for Touro University Nevada. Kimmel also received a customized UNLV basketball jersey from Coach Rice and his family.

The successful evening featured a celebrity red carpet meet-and-greet, posh cocktail reception and gourmet three-course dinner and drinks. Guests were also able to bid on a variety of top-line silent auction items including restaurant certificates, hotel packages and signed sports and entertainment memorabilia from Muhammad Ali, Michael Jackson, Bryce Harper, Kimmel and others.

Saturday  night, John Legend delivered a special performance at Hyde Bellagio in Las Vegas. The GRAMMY Award-winning artist arrived at the sleek nightspot alongside supermodel wife Chrissy Teigen just before 1 a.m.

The couple looked stunning in all black as they posed for a flurry of photographers and waved to fans before heading inside. Legend and Teigen made their way through the packed club and settled into a plush VIP booth overlooking the dance floor.

Later in the night Legend climbed into the DJ booth to give clubgoers an intimate performance. As soon as he appeared overhead, hundreds of eager fans gathered around to try to catch a glimpse of the musical superstar. Much to the delight of the room, Legend performed two of his hit songs, "Tonight (Best You Ever Had)" and "Greenlight." The first number sparked an impromptu duet with rapper Ludacris, which had the crowd singing along and screaming for more.

After the show, Legend tweeted: "Thanks to my brother @Ludacris for the surprise guest appearance at @HydeBellagio! Tonight's the night!"

Before heading back to his table, Legend stopped to sign autographs and take photos with fans. He continued the party late into the night with Tiegen and friends. The R&B singer will give a live performance from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas tonight at the Billboard Music Awards.

Comedian/Actor Chris Tucker Performs At The Pearl On 5/24/19

Comedian Chris Tucker returns to The Pearl inside Palms Casino Resort  on May 24, 2014 at 8 p.m. Tickets start at $45, plus any additional service fees.

Chris Tucker is best known for his role of Detective James Carter in the “Rush Hour” film series. Starting his career as a stand up comedian, Tucker’s bold sense of humor landed him a spot on “Def Comedy Jam” where he frequently performed in the 1990s.

The buzz that Tucker garnered from his many appearances as a stand up helped open doors in the film industry. Following his film debut in 1994’s “House Party 3,” Tucker achieved ‘cult classic’ status as Smokey in the stoner comedy “Friday.” Tucker’s next big movie role was in the avant-garde film “The Fifth Element.”

Tucker’s film career reached soaring heights as the star of the “Rush Hour” blockbuster film series. The original, along with two sequels, grossed more than $500 million in the U.S. The success of the films enabled Tucker to negotiate a salary of $25 million, making him one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood for “Rush Hour 3.”

In 2013, Tucker enjoyed the buzz from a well-received performance opposite Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro in the David O. Russell directed film “Silver Linings Playbook.” Tucker continues to tour year after year performing stand-up comedy around the world.

Doors at the Pearl will open at 7 p.m. and show time is 8 p.m. The Pearl Box Office is open daily from noon until 7 p.m. with extended hours on select event days. Follow The Pearl on Twitter at @PearlatPalms for concert announcements and event information. For more information, please visit www.palms.com.
