Magicians Penn & Teller Receive Key to the City from Mayor Oscar Goodman

Tuesday morning, May 31, renowned magicians Penn & Teller were presented with a key to the city by Mayor Oscar Goodman. The event was to recognize the duo's dedication to the Las Vegas community and unwavering commitment to helping Aid for AIDS of Nevada (AFAN) fight the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Together, Penn & Teller have pledged their support to AFAN, leading the Penn & Teller Challenge at the annual AIDS Walk and supporting a variety of AFAN fundraising events including AFAN’s annual Black and White Party.

Prior to the presentation by Mayor Goodman, Jennifer Morss, executive director of AFAN, thanked the entertainers for their generous contributions over the past 10 years, emphasizing the success of the AIDS Walk would not be as great if it weren’t for their involvement.

Mayor Goodman then personally thanked the duo for their continual dedication to the city of Las Vegas and local organizations like AFAN before presenting Penn & Teller with an official key.

As the ceremony progressed, jokes were passed among the three as Penn detailed attending clown college and then moving on to discuss Teller’s educational background. To everyone’s surprise, Mayor Goodman and Teller discovered that they attended the same high school years ago.

Penn & Teller concluded the ceremony by thanking Mayor Goodman and the city of Las Vegas for the continual support, noting how much they truly enjoy giving back to the community and being involved with organizations like AFAN.

The Dixie Evans Burlesque Show Celebrates the Best of Burlesque at the Plaza Hotel and Casino

Burlesque icon Dixie Evans teamed up with Frederic Apcar Productions for the inaugural “Dixie Evans Burlesque Show” inside the Copa Room at the Plaza Hotel & Casino June 3-4. The event marked the long awaited return to the stage of Evans, dubbed “The Marilyn Monroe of Burlesque” by Harold Minsky. No one has done more to preserve the history and art of burlesque than her.

“I wanted to pay homage to the type of show found in the old burlesque clubs with a variety of entertainment,” said Dixie Evans. “By working with Frederic Apcar Productions, we did a wonderful job recreating that, and many of the girls have already asked me to perform again next year.”

Other highlights of the evening included Zamora the Torture King, DJ Howie Pyro and the Fuse Dancers, and when a full-length black mink coat was auctioned off, raising a $400 donation to Evans.

Saturday’s show featured comedy and magic with an all-star lineup of burlesque’s past and present including: performer and co-host Foxy Tann; Vegas’ own Vi Vacious; Magic Nerd Kyle Marlett; Shannon Doah, drag superstar Delorian Chase; Daisy Delight, Lucy Fur, co-hosts and Baggy Pants comedic duo Doc & Stumpy, Bizzaro The Optical Illusionist; Angie Pontani; Tempest Storm, who dazzled during a special Q&A; Dixie Evans, who performed a strip skit revealing a red bra; Kitten DeVille, and Satan’s Angel, who brought down the house with her famous flaming tassels.
