Las Vegas Producer Dick Feeney was acknowledged for his creativity and talents Oct. 17 by becoming the 31st recipient of Las Vegas Walk of Stars. The Las Vegas Walk of Stars, located from Russell Road. to Sahara Avenue., honors those who have contributed outstanding service to their community in several different categories: show business, literary, pioneers; and civic, humanitarians, sports and military in association with the rules set by Clark County.

Feeney’s star, located in front of the New York New York Hotel & Casino, name was added among Wayne Newton, Bobby Darin, Sammy Davis Jr., Rich Little, Siegfried and Roy, John Stuart, Trini Lopez, Frank Marino, Tony Sacca, Liberace and Elvis. Please refer to www.lasvegaswalkofstars.com for more information.

Feeney began his career touring with the highly popular Boston-based band the “Lewis & Clark Expedition.” He then formed his own group “Gemini” and continued developing the talent and skills to make him one the countries top nightclub entertainers. Producing his first critically-acclaimed show in 1981 “Lullaby of Swing” in Honolulu, he then toured the production for successful runs in both Atlantic City at the Tropicana and Boston at the Bradford Theatre.

In 1985, Feeney first came to Las Vegas as associate producer of “An Evening at La Cage” at the Riviera Hotel & Casino. He went on to produce “Crazy Girls” in 1987. In that same year, Feeney won prestigious ADDY award for producing his first television commercial.

In 1991, Feeney opened “Viva Las Vegas” at the Sands Hotel & Casino. “Viva Las Vegas” now plays at the Plaza Hotel & Casino in downtown Las Vegas and remains the longest running and most successful afternoon show in Las Vegas history.

In 1992, Feeney organized the skydivers appearing in the hit movie “Honeymoon in Vegas” to form the now world famous “Flying Elvi” skydive team. Based in Las Vegas, the Flying Elvi is the only such team officially licensed by the Elvis Presley estate. In doing so, he actually invented the word ‘Elvi’ which has now become the accepted plural of Elvis.

Feeney’s genius continued as he went on to produce the classic-Vegas dinner show “The Rat Pack is Back,” the tribute to Frank, Sammy, Joey & Dean that currently plays at the Plaza Hotel & Casino. The show is the only Las Vegas created and based show with an award from the Congress of the United States and national touring theater productions.

In 2003, he conceived and produced the family-friendly “World’s Greatest Magic Show” at the Sahara Hotel & Casino with a unique format of multiple award-winning magicians all in one show.

Feeney’s talent is international. He has gone on to produce numerous other award winning shows worldwide from Japan to Monte Carlo including “Showgirls,” “The Great Gleason,” “Bottoms Up,” Forbidden Vegas” and “Playboy Girls Hit Parade.” His television productions include “The Entertainment Page,” “Las Vegas Tonite” and “Karaoke Krazy.”

Outside of showbiz, Feeney has volunteered much of his time as coach and speaker for PSI Seminars. In 1993, he started the Annual PSI Seminars Charity Volleyball Tournament, which over the past 13 years has raised thousands of dollars for local Las Vegas charities. Feeney is a recipient of the “Golden Eagle Award” for outstanding leadership, contribution and service, which has only been award to about a dozen other people.

With multiple shows currently running in Las Vegas plus touring productions, the Flying Elvi darting about the heavens, a wife Melissa and four children including Christopher 26, Katherine 7, Matthew 5 and Samuel 2, Feeney may seem busy, but loves it all.
