Each Whisk(e)y Wednesday begins at 9 p.m., concluding at 11 p.m. and takes place on the second floor of Andre’s in Las Vegas’ only cigar lounge connected to a Strip restaurant.

Comedian Jeff Dunham adds second show at Caesars Palace!! Controlled Chaos!!


 Due to demand, comedian Jeff Dunham has announced the addition of a Friday show on December 2 at 8 p.m. to his “Controlled Chaos” tour at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The two-night engagement playing December 2 and December 3 is presented jointly by AEG Live and Caesars Palace.  

Tickets for the Friday show go on-sale beginning Saturday, October 22 at 10 a.m. and may be purchased in person at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace Box Office, by calling 1-800-745-3000 or by visiting www.ticketmaster.com, keyword “Caesars Palace.” Ticket prices are $89.50, $69.50, $59.50 and $49.50 (all prices include 10% Live Entertainment Tax). Showtime is 8 p.m. All Ticketmaster orders may be subject to additional service charges and fees.

With his all new “Controlled Chaos” tour, Jeff introduces concertgoers to two new Dunham characters: Achmed Junior, the not-as-equally skeletal son of Achmed the Dead Terrorist, and Little Jeff, a mini-version of the ringmaster himself. The fresh show from the arena-packing comedian had its debut on September 25th as his fourth Comedy Central one-hour TV special and 5.5 million U.S. viewers tuning in.

Dunham’s sidesplitting performances have made him the top grossing live comedian in North America for three consecutive years as well as the last two worldwide. Now his ever-growing legion of devoted fans that flock to his shows year after year will meet the newest additions to his suitcase posse. Achmed the Dead Terrorist has to now contend with his rebellious offspring, Achmed Junior, aka A.J.  Meanwhile, Peanut has decided that he’s tired of being Jeff’s sidekick and has taken up ventriloquism with his own character: Little Jeff.  More hilarity than ever ensues as the never-before-seen characters unleash their own havoc on stage.

“Controlled Chaos” also hit the home entertainment market on DVD and Blu-ray on September 27th, where it hit #1 Comedy in comedy titles and #5 in all DVDs/Blu-ray title sales.

The comic has taken his craft to unequalled heights of success in recent years. He currently boasts 7 million DVDs sold of his three previous specials and Comedy Central series, a New York Times Book Review bestseller list autobiography (“All By My Selves”), ratings records for his past TV shows, a briskly selling line of more than 100 items of merchandise, and a live show that fills top venues in North America, Europe, South Africa and Australia to rapturous receptions and standing ovations nightly.

Saturday Champagne Brunch is a PARTY at LAVO!!



LAVO Las Vegas kicked off the new Saturday Champagne Brunch party with resounding success.  The brunch, which originated at LAVO NYC was named Best Of New York by New York Magazine. It quickly became clear that Vegas is ready for the afternoon soiree as guests lined up to be the first to enter the venue and experience a new side of day life.

DJ Lema set the mood as bottles of Champagne made their way to tables with LAVO’s kitchen serving up new dishes including Almond French Toast, Breakfast Pizza, Burgers and Oysters from the raw bar.

The energy quickly rose as curtains were dropped, the room darkened and girls jumped on top of the tables to dance.  Bottles upon bottles of bubbly were delivered throughout the afternoon to VIP tables by way of gold plated girls, costumed hosts and even a chariot.  DJ Vice, who is celebrating his birthday with a weekend long party even surprised brunchers, hopping into the DJ booth for an unexpected set.  Spotted taking in the hedonistic experience were Peepshow’s Holly Madison and Josh Strickland, along with famed DJ Dirty South and a who’s who of the Vegas party scene.

Coming on Thursday...benefit for Ronald McDonald House!! At Morton's steakhouse!


The Osmonds coming to The Orleans Showroom! On 10/28 thru 10/30!



Beloved around the world and celebrating more than 50 years in entertainment, The Osmonds – brothers Wayne, Merrill, Jay and Jimmy – return to perform at The Orleans Showroom October 28, 29 and 30, each evening at 8 p.m.

Having thrilled millions with their signature brand of entertainment, the legendary brothers have mastered a range of musical styles, including barbershop, pop, rock, country and jazz. Known for such classic hits as “One Bad Apple,” “Yo-Yo,” “Down By The Lazy River” and “Love Me For A Reason,” the brothers’ close harmonies are unrivaled in the music world. The Osmonds have sold millions of albums over their long careers and have several gold and platinum records to their credit.

Five decades ago, the young Osmond boys made their first national TV appearance on “The Andy Williams Show,” in what was meant to be a one-time shot at the big time. That single appearance led the Osmonds to seven seasons as regulars on the show. The Osmond brothers enjoyed professional gigs at Disneyland and with “The Jerry Lewis Show” before signing with MGM Records and skyrocketing to worldwide recognition.

Known for their versatility and for shaping musical styles to fit their talents – they mastered 28 musical instruments – the Osmonds gained further exposure with the 1976 advent of “The Donny and Marie Show.” With the Osmond brothers as executive producers, the show was a true example of their abilities to project the unified quality of their own family relationship, and in 1979 the show transformed into “The Osmond Family Show.”

Success continued and in 1982, the Osmonds transitioned their sound from pop to country music. Billboard magazine honored them with the “1982 Breakthrough Award” and acknowledged them as the “Number One New Singles Group of the Year.” A decade later, after almost 40 years of concert tours, the Osmonds purchased a theater in Branson, Missouri and began performing 12 shows a week at the Osmond Family Theater. They have been recognized as “Best Vocal Group” and “Best Show in Branson” numerous times.

In 2003, the Osmond family was honored for their achievements in the entertainment industry with a star on the legendary Hollywood Walk of Fame. The Osmonds keep the spirit of “America's favorite family of entertainment” alive by performing regularly in Branson and touring the United States and Europe.

Showtime is 8 p.m. Tickets are available starting from $38.50, plus tax and convenience fees, and can be purchased at any Coast Casinos Box Office, by calling 702.365.7075 or visiting www.orleanscasino.com.
