Photo Focus: Las Vegas Neon on the World Famous Strip

Photo by Frankie Tease - click to enlarge on FLICKR.com Does this make you want to walk the strip? Taken in June of 2013, you can see the famous neon lights of Caesars, Mirage, Trump Tower, and the Flamingo. But don't be fooled, it's well over 100 degrees this week, so bring that bottle of water if you dare to walk the strip. I recommend a tour on a air conditioned bus, personally. One of the most densely travelled intersections of any tourist destinations in the world, this is shot from the street at Las Vegas Blvd. and Flamingo heading North on the Strip. Some things don't change like the neon beauty of Fabulous Las Vegas.  Your ad here, right now: $0 Your ad here, right now: $0

Jay Leno - Aces of Comedy Headliner throughout 2012 - Vegas

Jay Leno has had a long lucrative career and a long happy marriage. Those are two things you don't see in Hollywood very often, especially paired. Jay's self deprecating 'chin' humor along with his quirky voice, dyslexia, and lisp cemented his style of humor on stage first along side the likes of Freddy Prinz Jr. His comedy in the 70's before his late night hosting duties began, consisted of east coast west coast jokes, and clean but suggestive observational humor. He has always been known for thinking well on his feet and making whoever is in front of him the punch-line of the current joke or bit. He can lay into the audience like the best of them, and is a frequent practitioner of roasts like on his five day per week TV show 'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno' where the opening monologue is no less than a roast of whoever is topping news charts that day.  Selected weekend dates through March-October of 2012 Leno will be appearing in Vegas and present

Seth Meyers comes to the Mirage March 2012

Going into his Eleventh season as head writer on the long-standing SNL comedy act 'Weekend Update', Seth has always had an excellent sense of sarcasm and biting observation in his writings and presentation of the faux-weekly news. He has had a long history of funny with the show during sketches too but seems to claim the longest running solo anchor and head writer position for the longest running segment of SNL above Chevy Chase and Dennis Miller who also sat on the throne. Meyers has one night planned to hit the nail on the head here in Vegas and it should be exciting to see how his delivery differs in the stage arena vs. TV. Though not a newcomer to live performance, he'll be going from the highly scripted Saturday Night Live TV environment into this one-man show performance out of the TV news dialogue box. This show is presented as a part of the Aces of Comedy Tour at the Mirage. Terry Fator Theater at the Mirage Hotel and Casino, 10pm Mar. 23, 702 792-7777 or 800
