Shakeup in Vegas; Kephart out of Trop UPDATE

UPDATE: We hear now that the comics have been extended through Sunday. So, it looks like they’ll be finishing out the week.

Tonight, after the second show, the Comedy Stop at the Trop is no more. The three comics on the bill, Don Gavin, Scott Bruce and Kevin Downey, Jr. got the word today (They only started the week yesterday!).

Word on the street is that, on May 1, the L.A. Comedy Club will occupy the space, offering an early show and that Bobby Slayton will be doing the late show. This arrangement, it is said, is signed to a six-month run. L.A. Comedy Club was formerly at Trader Vic’s at the Planet Hollywood casino. Slayton held court at the Hooters casino, just off the strip, just behind the Trop.
