Celebrated as a witty comedian with an entertaining and intriguing stand-up routine, Miller keeps audiences laughing with his irreverent observations. A favorite of the public and critics alike, The New York Times said, “Mr. Miller is exquisitely attuned to contemporary foibles … his material can be scathing, his delivery low key … Mr. Miller reaches a bit farther than most comedians for the scorching comment … this smart aleck has an uncommonly sharp eye.”

Called “one of the premiere comedy talents in America today,” Miller emerged on the national scene in as the “Weekend Update” correspondent on NBC’s Saturday Night Live. After leaving SNL in 1991, Miller moved to HBO, where he hosted the critically acclaimed talk show Dennis Miller Live for nine seasons.

He was also host and executive producer of CNBC’s Dennis Miller, which featured conversation, opinion and humor.

In a career that has spanned far beyond showrooms and interview sets, Miller has also made a name for himself as a film actor and author. His notable motion picture credits include such mid-‘90s favorites as Disclosure, The Net and Murder at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Miller’s “rant” books, including I Rant Therefore I Am, Ranting Again and The Rants have all been on The New York Times best sellers list.

Having called plays alongside Al Michaels and NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Fouts on ABC’s Monday Night Football for two seasons, Miller’s voice is as familiar to sports fans as it is to those who pack theatres to enjoy his comedy.

Showtime is 8 p.m. Tickets are available starting from $49.95, 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.
