Vince Morris, Joan Fagan and John Mulrooney are at the Improv at Harrah’s.
Glen Jensen, Brad Williams and Chrissy Burns are at the Comedy Stop at the Trop through the 13th, then Ron Shock, Mike Donovan and Dan Grueter take over.
At Planet Hollywood, which was the Aladdin, Don Barnhart and Robert Duchaine are performing at the L.A. Comedy Club, which is in Trader Vic’s (but usta be in the Palace Station… and should not be mistaken for the Planet Hollywood restaurant, which is across the boulevard at the Forum Shops at Caesars… confused? So are we!) PH is bringing in Wanda Sykes and David Spade on separate weekends this month. Spade will be there four times between now and November.
Among the casinos who make an effort to make standup an important part of their entertainment offerings, The Mirage is king! They will bring in Ray Romano and Kevin James in August and November. (Romano is in town currently for the World Series of Poker.) Jay Leno is a regular there as well, appearing Friday and Saturday and then for two days out of every month through December. Both Brad Garrett and Lewis Black will be at the Mirage next month. Jim Breuer is at Boulder Station tomorrow night. Seinfeld comes to Caesars next month for two nights (8-9). Louie Anderson in ongoing at the Excalibur. George Lopez will be the Hilton early next month (1-2). Bobby Slayton is ongoing at the Hooters Casino. Rita Rudner is ongoing at Harrah’s. The Top is ongoing at Luxor. TV’s Craig Ferguson is at the MGM Grand July 24-30.
Downtown, at Fitzgerald’s, at Comedy After Hours, is Tommy Johnagin with “Second Comic T.B.A.!”.
It looks like Roseanne Barr is ongoing at the Sahara.
And, of course, Both Halves of the Staff will be at the Comedy Club at the Riviera through Sunday. With John Dicrosta. And last night, at the Gold Coast, The Female Half took the second game in a three-game series at the Coast’s 70-lane palace of bowling, whupping The Male Half and Mr. Dicrosta with a score of 123! She insists upon being addressed as “Traci ‘Tenth Frame’ Skene!” (Dicrosta took the other two games, averaging just over 129 for the series… but that’s not what matters– this is not his blog. If he would like to brag about beating us, the rules are clear– he can start his own blog!)
