Thanks Lee - think I will opt for Mystere and Everly Bros at the Orleans. (Maybe another one, who knows??) As you have probably gathered, I really enjoy the Vegas headliner shows. Where else can you see so much talent in one location? Wendell

Wendell,
Have you ever seen Don Rickles in person?
He puts on one heck of a show!
I will probably go see him again in November. But it's a long way off, and schedules change and shows are almost always added late! Keep checking the updates as November gets closer!
(to be honest I got confused and looked at my Sept trip and couldn't find the Everly Brothers, and wondered what you where talking about) Some days i think I will forget my own name one day! LOL

Lee, No I haven't seen Don Rickles, but I bet he would be a good one. I thought that about Rodney Dangerfield also, but unless you really enjoy dirty filthy language, I recommend that you skip him. I definately do not shock easily and I am by no means a "prude" but I was sitting by some young newlyweds during his performance and really felt like apologizing to that young lady. Wendell
