“The Price is Right Live” Stage Show at Bally’s Las Vegas  (click to book) welcomes back special celebrity host, Joey Fatone, for an exclusive engagement Jan. 11 – April 8. The show, from FremantleMedia, producers of “American Idol” and “The Price Is Right” TV shows, features such fan-favorite games as “Plinko,” “Cliff Hanger,” “The Big Wheel” and, of course, “Showcase Showdown.” Fatone will enlist audience members to play for a chance to win thousands of dollars in cash and prizes.

“I am excited to return as the special celebrity host for the stage version of the legendary television show,” said Fatone. “There’s nothing better than inviting folks to ‘come on down’ and play the same games they see on TV for money and prizes – right here on the Las Vegas Strip!”

Perhaps best known as a member of the wildly-popular musical group *NSYNC and as a contestant on season four of “Dancing with the Stars,” Fatone is a multi-talented singer, actor, dancer and television personality.

Previously the red carpet host at major awards shows for TV Guide Network, Fatone was also the host of NBC’s cirque competition series, “Celebrity Circus.” He produced his first cable television series “The Singing Office,” a tongue-in-cheek singing competition for TLC and co-hosted the show alongside Melanie Brown. He also served as host of NBC’s international hit series “The Singing Bee” and in late 2007 hosted the Australian version of the successful series.

Fatone’s feature film credits include “Homie Spumoni” with Whoopi Goldberg, Donald Faison and Jamie-Lynn Sigler, as well as the critically-acclaimed films “The Cooler” and “My Big Fat Greek Wedding.” His Broadway credits include starring as Seymour in “Little Shop of Horrors” and the role of Mark Cohen in “Rent.”

Presently, Fatone has taken on the announcer role of the current FremantleMedia production of “Family Feud” which tapes in his hometown of Orlando, Fla.

“The Price is Right Live” Stage Show at Bally’s Las Vegas is presented Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $56.25 and are available at the Bally’s and Paris box offices, or by calling 702-967-456

The Stratosphere Casino Hotel & Tower is proud to announce the signing of singer and songwriter Frankie Moreno as its new headline act in Stratosphere Theater beginning Wednesday, November 9, 2011.  Moreno’s ten-piece band will perform three nights a week.

Born in Santa Cruz, California, Moreno’s career trajectory started upward at the age of 11 when the classically trained pianist landed a spot next to Ed McMahon on ”Star Search”. That upward path has continued for the singer/musician. Moreno is currently working on his own album with Sony Masterworks, an opportunity that arose after Moreno collaborated on the ”Eleanor Rigby” track with world-renowned violinist Joshua Bell on his best selling debut album, At Home With Friends, that reached #1 on the Billboard Charts in two categories.

”It’s always been a dream of mine to headline a Las Vegas showroom and I can’t wait for opening night,” said Moreno.  ”Our show is a bit of a throwback to the kinds of performances that made Vegas showrooms famous, but we keep a modern vibe.”

Moreno is a favorite among music-lovers, as well as fellow entertainers and celebrities who are often spotted at his performances in Las Vegas and abroad.   His unique style and sophisticated swagger have garnered the music industry’s attention, whether on tour with Billy Currington who was co-headlining with Sugarland, or joining multi-platinum artists Air Supply on their world tour.

”Frankie is a rising star and everyone who sees him is blown away by his talent,” said Paul Hobson, Stratosphere Casino Hotel & Tower General Manager.  ”With all the great changes and renovations we’ve made, this is the next step for us in elevating our guests’ experience.”

Moreno and his band will perform three nights a week in the Stratosphere Theater.  His Wednesday night show will begin at 11pm, while his show on Friday and Saturday nights will begin at 8pm.   Tickets are $29.99, plus tax.  Las Vegas locals and Stratosphere hotel guests can see the show for only $19.99, plus tax.   For ticket information, please call 800-99-TOWER (800-998-6937). The show is for adults 21 and older.

BITE Las Vegas will move to 9pm on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, and 10pm on Friday and Saturday (dark Tuesday).

Master Illusionist Jan Rouven is inviting guests to celebrate National Magic Week with a $15 discount on all tickets to his show ILLUSIONS (click link to book) at the Clarion Hotel & Casino. Simply mention ‘National Magic Week’ at the FAME Theater Box Office October 25-31 and receive the discount.

National Magic Week recognizes the anniversary of the death of Harry Houdini and is held every year from October 25-31. Rouven pays tribute to Houdini every night by performing his own twist on Houdini’s classic ‘Water Tank’ illusion.

Water Tank – Jan Rouven pays tribute to Harry Houdini as he prepares to ‘dive-in’ to the famous Water Tank illusion onstage at his show ILLUSIONS in Las Vegas.

‘I wanted to give people a chance to experience and explore the art of magic during a week that celebrates the life and death of one of the greatest magicians known to this day,’ said Rouven. ‘Harry Houdini is without a doubt one of the most iconic illusionists and is the inspiration behind my performance of his famous ‘Water Tank’ illusion every night in my show. With the National Magic Week discount, I hope to share the joy of magic.’

ILLUSIONS features some of the most dangerous and thrilling acts known to this day, including Fire Spiker, Hand Stab and Rouven’s own devious creation – Bed of Death.  Set to current hit music such as Katy Perry’s ‘ET’ and Adele’s ‘Rolling in the Deep,’ Rouven and his cast of five professionally trained dancers transport the audience on a journey through his illusions. The lure of danger and the penchant to create highly risky acts with a debonair charm and a handsome smile will surely be a crowd pleaser and fun for the whole family.

Show times are Thursdays – Tuesdays at 7 p.m. inside the FAME Theater at Clarion Hotel & Casino. For more info visit www.illusionsvegas.com
