They say laughter is the best medicine. So, if you are looking to heal your soul or just enjoy life a little more in 2023, look no further than right down the street. Valley residents often forget how lucky they are to have nationally acclaimed performers right in their backyard. But at South Vegas City Lifestyle, we are always ready for a good laugh, so we reached out to a couple of the stomach-aching laugh makers on The Strip to find out how we can all get our fill of joy.
Terry Fator
“Terry Fator: Who’s the Dummy Now?”
Liberty Loft at New York-New York Hotel & Casino
For more than 14 years, Terry Fator — singer, comedian, ventriloquist, and “America’s Got Talent” winner — has been performing in Las Vegas. He believes that “Laughter truly is the best medicine. People who laugh a lot have better relationships and live longer and healthier lives. So, I'm prescribing 10 to 20 laughs a day. Now get out there and start laughing!”
You can get started laughing at Terry’s show, “Terry Fator: Who’s the Dummy Now?” featuring new songs by more than a dozen iconic singers. The show takes Fator and his audience on a whimsical journey of discovery as we learn how and why the world-renowned ventriloquist created many of his beloved cast of puppets. Each reflects a different part of his life, personality, and the people he’s met along the way. Fator is joined onstage by a cast of characters: Winston, the Impersonating Turtle; Maynard Tompkins, the Elvis impersonator; Duggie Scott Walker, the annoying neighbor; legendary country singer and ladies’ man, Walter T. Airdale; crooning soul singer Julius; and many others. http://www.terryfator.com
Piff the Magic Dragon
The Flamingo Showroom, Flamingo Hotel & Casino
Piff the Magic Dragon, aka The Loser of America’s Got Talent, has won the heart of America through his network television appearances and non-stop touring. Now appearing in the Flamingo Showroom, Piff the Magic Dragon delights guests with his critically acclaimed show as a Las Vegas Strip headliner.
Imagine Larry David in a dragon suit performing jaw-dropping magic tricks, and you’re on the right track. Piff and Mr. Piffles, the World’s Only Magic Performing Chihuahua™, perform a selection of their greatest hits and new tricks. From shooting a dog out of a cannon to healing a couple’s broken relationship to the most expensive magic trick involving Jell-O in history, this is the funniest magic dragon show you’ll ever see. What’s more, Piff says his favorite part of the job is “each night I choose around 15 people from the audience to take part in the show, so each night the show is completely different. Not only does it keep me on my toes, but it means I never get bored. So, it’s either that or the cash.” http://www.piffthemagicdragon.com
