"Crazy Girls: Fantasy Revue" featuring comedian Carole
Montgomery has always been the innovator and leader in T&A revues and now
many of the resorts want to follow suit because the gentlemen are going to
the strippers' clubs around Las Vegas for wild times. The Riviera was first
to recognize that adult entertainment was needed and "Las Vegas' Sexiest
Topless Revue" fit the bill. It's been running for 14 consecutive years. "An
Evening at La Cage" is only one floor up from "Crazy Girls" and each show
can be had for between $20 and $30 a person which is a bargain by today's
standards. For show ticket reservations, please call 794-9433. Comedian Louie
Anderson is one of the best stand-up comics and he'll be headlining at the
Top of the Riv from June 5-7. Tickets are $30. It all began 20 years ago when
he was named winner at the St. Louis Comedy Competition. He's now hosting the
"New Family Feud." He makes light-hearted observations about obesity,
alcoholism, fame, success and family in three hilarious performances. He once
wrote jokes for Henny Youngman.

Justin Tranz headlines in a lucky seven shows weekly called
"Hip-Nosis" at Flamingo O'Shea's and performs before crowds in the intimate
theatre on the 2nd floor ofthe casino. Only in Las Vegas are we so
cosmopolitan that an African-American performs in an Irish-themed casino. Yet
O'Shea's is the poor stepchild of the Flamingo Hilton founded by Bugsy
Siegel who happened to be Jewish and was working for Italians. Even "The
Sopranos" couldn't write this one. And for the rest of the story: The
Germans who were leasing the 2nd floor invited Justin Tranz to perform at the
theatre that was then part of the now defunct Magic and Movie Hall of Fame.
The rest is showbiz history. For tickets, call 737-1343. "Hip-Nosis" relies
on volunteers who want to experience the relaxation of being hypnotized
bringing out their innermost talents and relieving them of their inhibitions.
Remember the sales pitch "Try it you'll like it."
"The Mac King Comedy Magic Show" is Las Vegas' "Best Afternoon"
show. The comedy-magician performs at Harrah's to full houses daily at 1 and
3 p.m.Tuesdays thru Saturdays. What's the secret to his success? Besides
talent it's a $14.95 show ticket.
Tom Jones has returned to perform at the Hollywood Theatre in the
MGM Grand thru June 19th. The legendary singer has had hits since the 1960s
putting a damper on The Beatles with the adult pop crowd. At Tina Turner's
age 60 he's still going strong.
The Orleans may well have the best entertainment of all of the
hotel-casinos off of The Strip. From June 8-10 Los Lobos will perform. The
Hispanic-American rock quintet hit No. 1 with "La Bamba" in '87. Box-office
hit Neil Sedaka performs from June 12-17.
