Funnyman Bill Cosby Follows Up Sold-Out Performance At Treasure Island 7/18

Following a sold-out performance in March, iconic funny man Bill Cosby brings his signature comedy back to the Treasure Island Theatre July 18 at 8 p.m.

Known the world over for “The Cosby Show,” which ran from 1984 to 1992 on NBC, Cosby broke racial barriers and sent a powerful message to viewers – the family unit and raising children matters most. The No. 1 rated sitcom earned six Emmy Awards, three Golden Globes and 10 People’s Choice Awards. It helped set the stage for Cosby’s career as an author, as his book “Fatherhood” remained at No. 1 for more than half of its 54 weeks on The New York Times Best Seller List. Among Cosby’s other titles are “Time Flies,” “Love and Marriage” and most recently, “I Didn’t Ask to be Born: (But I’m Glad I Was).”

In December 2013 Cosby’s first comedy specials in thirty years, “Bill Cosby: Far From Finished,” debuted on Comedy Central, and he was recently signed by NBC to star in a new sitcom. 

A champion of youth, Cosby’s dedication to helping children realize their potential is evidenced through his Emmy Award-winning “Little Bill” animated series, which aired on Nickelodeon and CBS. His other television and film credits include “Obkb,” “Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids,” “The Cosby Mysteries,” “Man and Boy” and “Uptown Saturday Night.”

Few entertainers have achieved the legendary status of Cosby, who emerged from humble beginnings in a Philadelphia housing project. After returning from the Navy, Cosby went on to earn a degree at Temple University and later a master’s and doctorate in Education from the University of Massachusetts. His lifelong contributions to American culture were recognized with a Kennedy Center Honor in 1998, the Presidential Medal of Freedom in July 2002, and the Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor in 2009.

Tickets are available starting at $59.95, plus taxes and service charges, and can be purchased by calling 866-712-9308 or 702-894-7722, or visiting www.treasureisland.com.

O Face Doughnuts Has Specialty Fantastic New Over The Top Doughnut Offerings!

O Face Doughnuts opened in April as part of the dynamic new offerings that have taken over the John E. Carson building in Downtown Las Vegas. The 1,100-square-foot shop offers specialty doughnuts, made fresh daily by pastry chef, Crystal Whitford, and an array of coffee selections.

“While specialty doughnut shops have become popular in other urban markets, we are the first to bring over-the-top doughnuts to Downtown Las Vegas,” said Sonny Ahuja, owner of O Face Doughnuts and long-time Las Vegas restaurateur. “We’ve already become a neighborhood favorite, with a lot of regulars coming by for their favorite doughnuts and coffee every morning.”

Whitford, whose past credits include Spago and Bouchon, has created a variety of sweet and savory doughnut selections for O Face Doughnuts, ranging from traditional to innovative. The doughnuts include an array of specialty and seasonal varieties, as well as several doughnuts that are featured daily. Various flavors include glazed, Boston cream, s’mores, Mexican chocolate, bacon apple fritter and a made-to-order lox doughnut. All of the specialty shop’s doughnut fillings, including preserves, creams, and curds are made fresh in-house, and O Face always features vegan selections.

“I’m excited to have a medium with almost no limitations. Doughnuts are kind of a blank canvas – you can put any flavors in there and no one is going to stop you and say, ‘that’s too crazy,’” Whitford said. “We also bring that fine dining, high-end sensibility to our doughnuts, so our selections aren’t you’re average treat; they are something to remember.”

O Face Doughnuts serves an array of hot beverages, including lattes, cappuccinos, chai tea and hot chocolate, as well as cold brew coffee on tap.  Seattle’s Caffe Vita supplies all of the coffee beans and the shop’s flavored syrups for the espresso drinks are made in-house. The specialty shop also offers O Face merchandise, including T-shirts, and hats, starting at $16.

The design of the intimate space, which offers countertop seating for 10, has a retro, ’70s feel, with burnt orange countertops, white-washed brick walls, blue and brown wood flooring, copper wall lights and a starburst clock. “The overall feel combines a classic doughnut shop with your bachelor uncle’s basement,” says Ahuja. A feeling that is brought together with throwback music by artists such as Led Zeppelin and Elton John.

The shop was the first business to open in Downtown Project’s John E. Carson Hotel, which keeps the bones and character of the history building to host a mix of dynamic offerings, including Kerry Simon’s Carson Kitchen, Bikram Yoga Downtown, Digital Royalty and Bunnyfish Studio.

ABOUT O FACE DOUGHNUTS

O Face Doughnuts is a 1,100-square-foot specialty doughnut and coffee shop, located in Downtown Project’s John E. Carson Hotel at 124 S. Sixth Street at Carson Avenue.  The retro shop, owned by restaurateur Sonny Ahuja, offers an array of over-the-top, flavorful doughnuts created by pastry chef and general manager, Crystal Whitford.
