“I had a chance to see the first performance of  “IDOLIZED” on July 3rd and must say I was impressed, this is probably one of the best values on the strip for this 4th of July weekend.  It was really nice seeing these American Idol finalists again and they just got better and better.  The presentation of the show produced by Barrie Cunningham was top notch and the venue at the South Point we perfect for this concert event.  If you get a chance to catch the Idols performing in IDOLIZED, I can highly recommend it, you will find it both entertaining and enjoyable and a great value.  Be sure and meet and greet the performers after the show and purchase the photos and have them signed by your idols. ” – Highly recommended says Ken Summerville, PRVegas.com

Dave Matthews Band

Dave Matthews Band

Dave Mathews and band to perform tonight and tomorrow at the MGM Grand Garden Arena here in Las Vegas to a sold out crowd.  Some tickets are available online at Click2Vegas.com however are selling fast for this soldout show.

The Dave Matthews Band formed in Charlottesville, Virginia, in early 1991, when vocalist/guitarist Dave Matthews decided to put some songs he had written on tape. From that humble beginning, Dave Matthews Band has become one of the most successful bands in the world, with sold out shows and multiple platinum records a norm. What makes them a special band, beyond their musical and financial success, is their commitment to change. They do numerous benefits, they take stands on issues that involve politics, the environment, voting and global capitalism, and they are outspoken risk-takers.

Next weekend the Dave Matthews band will be performing in Boston at Fenway Park.

danny-gansDanny Gans has died in his sleep early this morning at the age of 52. His cause of death is not immediately known.

“Elaine and I and all of us in the company are devastated at the loss of our brilliant, talented and loving friend…. one of the most unique human beings and entertainers in the world has been taken from us in an unexpected moment. A profoundly tragic event that leaves us all sad and speechless. The loss of Danny, to his wife Julie, his children Amy, Andrew and Emily, is at this moment impossible to comprehend. We will all try to go on with our lives without our dear friend. At this moment it seems almost impossible.”STEVE WYNN

“I have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Gans on several occations and Las Vegas has lost not only an icon but a great man.  He will be missed but not forgotten, Danny may you rest in peace” KEN SUMMERVILLE,  PRVegas.com
