Voodoo Lounge

Just like the name suggests, VooDoo is pure magic. A two-story dream venue makes this club one of the hippest spots in Las Vegas, that just so happens to have one of the best views to go along with it. With some great drinks, beautiful dancers, and some world class DJs; VooDoo has the perfect mix.

To get to the 51st floor of the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino you must take the glass elevator which is an equally exciting part of the VooDoo experience. Once you make your way to the top you will pass through an enticing hallway decorated with witch-themed masks and paintings. The bar inside is home to some of the worlds best flair bartenders. They will perform tricks for patrons all night long, such as pour shots while balancing multiple cups on their heads. The bartenders are a show in themselves. The other form of live entertainment available are the VooDoo doll go-go dancers who will shake their way up the winding staircase that looks out over the Strip.

There are several VIP tables available on the balcony which offers breathtaking views of Las Vegas Boulevard as you sip your drinks. There are also some tables inside for those who may be afraid of heights. However, VooDoo is much more than just a lounge with a great view. It’s a happening nightclub as well. The club has made a name for itself among the top Las Vegas clubs over the years and it is a favorite spot for locals. You are almost destined to see hip young people dancing out on the patio and sometimes even on top of the furniture.

No matter what the reason, VooDoo is an attractive spot for club goers of any age group and it is one of the hottest places in town to see and be seen, so be sure to get in line early!

BOB ANDERSON PLAYS SUMMERLIN

I've got to honest with you gang, I love entertainers no matter what they do - be it a stripper, an impressionist, a contortionist or anyone who tries to stand up in front of a group of people and entertain. It's not easy to get up there, believe me. One of my very favorites is a guy named Bob Anderson. This is a man who's been around so long he's actually had to replace his tux a couple of times. I first met him when he worked at the "Top of the Dunes." Now that was the "room" of all "rooms" in Las Vegas and, anybody who was anybody would drop in to watch him perform. Bob had signed for two (2) weeks and ended up staying for over four (4) years. In the late 70's he brought a 21 piece orchestra into the old Copa Room at the Sands Hotel. I was doing publicity at the time for the room. Anderson's show was a big hit, but the problem was the cost of renting the room. It was just a wee bit too much and Bob closed after two-weeks. But the show got great revues. Bob never looked back and went on the road working some of the great rooms of the world as an impressionist, jazz, pop or cabaret singer... The Plaza Hotel in New York, Tavern on the Green, The Rainbow Room and the Cinigrill Room at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles. You name it and Bob Anderson has been there. He returns to Las Vegas this coming Friday (the 18th) for a special three-night stint at the Summerlin Library Theatre, 1771 Inner Circle Drive in Summerlin. A member of the "Las Vegas Legends Hall of Fame," Bob will be performing in concert with the fabulous Vince Falcone Trio - Vince on piano, Chris Gordon Bass and Tim Pratt Drums. Just some of the songs being presented during his time on stage represents every facet of showbiz from Broadway to film. Songs like "Last Night When We Were Young", "Here and Now", "I Remember You", "Skylark" and of course one of the great songs, "In the Still of the Night." "It seems that today cabaret singer's are a fading commodity," Anderson said during a phone conversation. "I want to sing the music of the great composers such as Johnny Mercer, Johnny Mandel, Sammy Cahn and Michelle LeGrand... these are just a few of the greats who wrote beautiful notes. My show will be a lot of me with, of course, my impressions. Impressions put me on the marques of the world and will always be a part of my act. But I want to do more of me... my own voice!" Anderson, who has his own club in Branson, Mo. called "Club Vegas" will of course include impressions of Tony Bennett, The Rat Pack, Bobby Darin, Tom Jones and Robert Goulet to name just a few of those he will likely perform. Tickets priced at $24.95 plus tax may be purchased online at www.bobanderson.com or by calling 1-866-468-3399. Doors will open at 7 pm. with show time set for 8 pm. Be prepared to be royally entertained. Order your tickets now! Just a reminder that the Grant Griffin Concert at The Orleans Hotel will be getting here real soon - Tuesday, March 8.
