Join Ira Glass (This American Life Host) Dance & Radio Show At The Smith Center 1/17

This American Life host Ira Glass has been working with Monica Bill Barnes & Company to invent a show that combines two art forms that – as Glass puts it – “have no business being together – dance and radio.” One is all words and no visuals. One is all visuals and no words. The result is a funny, lively and very talky evening of dance and stories that brought down the house in its first test run at Carnegie Hall. “What makes it work,” says Glass “is a shared sensibility. As dancers, Monica and Anna are these amazingly relatable and funny storytellers without words.”

10th Anniversary For rm Seafood Coming Up In February! Daily Specials!

Celebrate a decade of unforgettable culinary hits as Chef Rick Moonen honors the 10th anniversary of Rick Moonen's rm seafood at The Shoppes at Mandalay Place with a special menu created for the occasion. This February, in addition to the regular menu, guests can indulge in 10 of Moonen’s most celebrated dishes that reflect the spirit of the restaurant, as well as the last 10 years of his culinary career, all month-long.

“I can’t believe that it’s already been 10 years since we first opened rm seafood here on the Las Vegas Strip,” shared Moonen. “It’s been an incredible experience to have served and held a role in this fantastic community that I have called home for a decade. I’m looking forward to celebrating the restaurant with the return of my favorite dishes, as well as seeing what the future holds for rm seafood.”

The 10 dishes selected for the menu will be available throughout the month of February as daily specials. The specials vary from lasting menu offerings that have been served since day one with the Catfish Sloppy Joe to dishes that showcase Moonen’s passion for sustainable seafood such as the Brandade of Scallops and Shrimp with a black truffle vinaigrette, shaved fennel and frisee salad. Playful dishes representing Moonen’s role in popular culture also make an appearance on the anniversary menu, including dishes from his time as a contestant on the second season of Bravo’s Top Chef Masters. This menu will allow diners to get a taste of rm seafood’s history and what elements have made the restaurant a staple for finding pristine seafood in Las Vegas.

The distinguished rm seafood opened its doors in February 2005 and has since received a number of accolades for its culinary offerings, conscious ingredient sourcing practices, and the welcoming demeanor of its hands-on owner and chef. Throughout the past decade, Moonen has created an array of memorable dishes, as well as explored the many facets associated with the experience of being involved in the culinary world.

The Celebrations Continues! The Rio All Suite Hotel & Casino Turns 25!

Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino celebrated its silver anniversary with a festive reception yesterday overlooking the Las Vegas skyline at VooDoo Rooftop Nightclub, complete with a giant cake modeled after the iconic red and blue hotel, champagne, headliners Penn & Teller, Chippendales dancers and a newly-crowned Rio Rita.

“The Rio has been an iconic figure in Las Vegas now for 25 years,” said General Manager Dan Walsh. “What has really made this place special over the years has been our impressive amenities; our restaurants; our employees—we have 75 day one employees; and our entertainers, Penn & Teller have been with us for 14 years and Chippendales for 13 years.  We couldn’t be more proud of the team we have assembled; this team has created the loyalty we have from our out-of-town visitors and local guests. The Rio remains one of the most popular properties in town and I am proud to be a part of it.”

Picking up where Walsh left off, Penn Jillette led a toast by saying, “We did our first show in Las Vegas 22 years ago tonight, and we played a lot of dumps until we got to the Rio in 2001, where we now have continued to perform in the conveniently named Penn & Teller Theater for the past 14 years and we hope to do at least 14 more if they’ll have us. Here’s to my favorite hotel in town, the Rio!”

Sinbad is best known for various television and movie appearances throughout the 1980s and 1990s, including several HBO comedy specials.

Sinbad began his career as a seven-time contestant on “Star Search.” He spent four years on the television show “A Different World” and starred in his own series, “The Sinbad Show.” Sinbad made his film debut in “Necessary Roughness” and also had leading roles in “Jingle All the Way,” “Houseguest” and “First Kid.”  His appearance on the series “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” received critical acclaim.

Sinbad was named one of Comedy Central’s top 100 comedians and was featured in a special program on the network in 2010. He received a NCAAP Image Award two years in a row for his annual HBO special “Sinbad’s ‘70s Soul Music Festival.” Sinbad has also participated in several USO tours.

Recently, Sinbad released a new one-hour special that debuted on Comedy Central. “Sinbad: Make Me Wanna Holla” is a stand-up special featuring a riotous original performance that took place in Detroit.
