"Groovin' High Orchestra" at House of Blues Mandalay Bay Dec. 4, 2012

The Chandler Judkins Groovin' High Orchestra

Well I've heard there was swing dancing in Vegas, but so far never found it. Until now, I thought swing dancing in Vegas might be just a desert mirage. Alas, it is not so thanks to Swingin' Tuesdays at House of Blues at Mandalay Bay. I wouldn't have known about it in my circles unless I had attended the Frankie Moreno Live show at the Stratosphere last week. In chatting with the Trumpet player, I found out there were regular nights in Vegas to dance and see Swing to, and one is coming up in December.

You'll be in good hands with The "Groovin' High Orchestra". A free show with a Burlesque dancer, and continuous open dance floor to swing on. I have it on good authority that dancers show up too. Well, at least the trumpet player who I mentioned earlier says so. His name is Chandler Judkins.

Mandalay Bay is a large hotel and casino in Vegas located near the Luxor on Las Vegas Blvd. and Mandalay Bay Dr. It's also quite near the Las Vegas sign, and the Maccaran Airport. Parking is available which requires a walk through the casino to get to the House of Blues. The Mandalay Bay also has one of the largest Convention spaces in Las Vegas on its property, as well as the five-star Four Seasons, a separate hotel on the same grounds.

Groovin' High Orchestra - Tuesday Dec. 4, 9pm-12am, Free. House of Blues at Mandalay Bay.

Tidbits and Teasers: Tempest Storm the Film, iHeartRadio, Justin TImberlake 20/20 Experience, Melody Sweets in NYC

Tempest Sotrm "Burlesque Queen" On Kickstarter thru Oct. 9 A new film documentary by Director Nimisha Nukerji is due to be released in 2014 about 84 year old burlesque star and Life-long Stripper Tempest Storm . During 2013, the film project is seeking the help of devoted burlesque fans of the Legendary Stage Performer and Model Tempest Storm on Kickstarter (through Oct. 9,2012). Friend to Bettie Page and Marilyn Monroe, mistress to both Elvis and JFK, betrayed at the height of her career by MGM for falling in love with a black man, it's safe to say we don't have stars like Tempest in this day and age. Recognized by Oprah Winfrey for her documentary "65_RedRoses" Director Nimisha Nukerji has a knack for telling stories and has brought those skills to one of America's favorite characters and sex symbols. Tempest Storm shares the camera with Dita Von Teese (Strip Strip Hooray), Melody Sweets (Absinthe), and Lou Lou D'Vil (2013 Queen...
