Bring Powerful Voices to The Orleans Showroom July 31 – August 2
Las Vegas—Legendary recording artists Melissa Manchester and Imelda Papin will share the stage and showcase their award-winning sounds in a limited engagement at The Orleans Showroom, July 31 – August 2.
The veteran performers will come together in a musical milestone, giving audiences a rare concert experience that combines their two powerhouse voices. Manchester, a compelling singer and songwriter, has numerous hits to her credit, including “Midnight Blue,” “Through The Eyes of Love” and “Don’t Cry Out Loud.” Philippine music icon Papin has recently earned praise for her “Voice of the Heart” album, highlighted by a danceable and hip beat duet with Ron Dante of The Archies, the original singer of the worldwide No. 1 hit “Sugar, Sugar.”
Grammy Award-winning Manchester’s rise to fame began with a stint as a back-up singer for Bette Midler. She went on to earn her own recording contract, headline at both Carnegie Hall and Radio City Music Hall, and dazzle sold-out venues around the country. Celebrated as much for her songwriting as for her singing, Manchester co-wrote the classic “Whenever I Call You Friend” with Kenny Loggins.
Her songs have been recorded by Barbra Streisand, Dusty Springfield, Johnny Mathis and Peabo Bryson, among others.
In 1980 Manchester became the first artist in the history of the Academy Awards to have two nominated movie themes in a given year – “Through The Eyes of Love” and “The Promise.” In 1982 she received the Grammy for Best Female Vocalist.
She has combined her acting and singing talents over the years, and co-starred alongside Bette Midler in For The Boys. With a performing career spanning four decades, Manchester co-wrote the score for Lady and The Tramp II and in 2004 released her 16th album, “When I Look Down That Road.”
Best-known in Las Vegas as the host of the radio program The Imelda Papin Voice of the Heart Radio Show on KLAV 1230 AM, the internationally acclaimed Papin grew up in a remote fishing village in the Philippines where she dreamed of using her talent to help her family lead a better life.
After prevailing as undefeated champion in a regional singing contest, Papin’s family realized her talent and moved to Manila. Papin established herself as a performer and appeared on television programs in Hong Kong and Bangkok. Papin has recorded multiple hits such as “We Could Have It All,” “Katarungan” and “Bawal” and is a frequent headliner in showrooms throughout Las Vegas and Atlantic City.
Papin directs a portion of her concert and record proceeds to designated beneficiaries and concerns.
She recently held a fundraising concert with boxing champ Manny Pacquiao for the purchase of dialysis machines for the free treatment of indigent patients in the Philippines. Heeding the call of service,
Papin ran for public office and became the only elected and re-elected female vice governor in the province of Camarines Sur.
Tickets are now available starting from $60, inclusive of tax. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Box Office at 702.365.7075 or visiting www.orleanscasino.com

Extreme variety, extreme beauty and extreme entertainment take center stage
Las Vegas, Nev. — Japan’s most acclaimed musical production “Matsuri” signed a one-year contract to entertain audiences six days a week in the Imperial Palace’s Imperial Theater starting July 31. Matsuri has a history of success in Las Vegas, performing an eight-week limited engagement in 2006 and a six-month run in 2007, each time garnering rave reviews.
Represented by EBI Enterprises, Matsuri (Japanese for ‘Festival’) is an action-packed, non-verbal production that showcases extreme athleticism through a series of unique variety acts. The 75-minute high-energy show will feature a cast of 18 Japanese athletes, performing stunts ranging from the “Human Jump Rope” and “Judo Tango” to the “Lion Dance” and “Foot Drums.”
Under the direction of Executive Producer and Director Ushio Higuchi, each act incorporates music, strength, acrobatics, beauty and Japanese culture. Matsuri started as a hit Japanese television program, “Kinniku-banzuke,” created by Higuchi.
The creators then developed the musical stage production that now performs 142 sold-out performances in Japan each year.
“Audiences leave the theater either shaking their heads in disbelief at the amazing skills and stamina of these performers, or grinning from ear-to-ear because of their contagious energy,” said Megan Belk, President of EBI Enterprises.
“We are hoping to really make a name for ourselves not only in Japan and Las Vegas, but worldwide,” said Higuchi. “We feel this is a perfect platform to introduce our show to a global audience and we’re thrilled to be partnering with the Imperial Palace.”

\An agreement between California and Nevada to extend the California High-Speed Rail Corridor from the Los Angeles area to Las Vegas was announced last week by U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, as well as key members of the Nevada labor community, business leaders and other elected officials.
“The extension of the California corridor is another great example of regional cooperation, which will be critical to transforming travel in America and the creation of a national system of high-speed rail lines,” LaHood said.
“We will continue to encourage new and innovative partnerships like this one. We believe that the development of regional high-speed passenger rail systems will create jobs, spur economic development and provide positive environmental benefits for all Americans.”
“Today we’ve taken a giant step towards strengthening Nevada’s economy,” Reid said. “High-speed rail not only provides a much needed means of transportation that will reduce congestion on I-15, but it will create jobs at a time when Nevada needs them the most, increase tourism and reduce our reliance on foreign oil.”
In April, President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and LaHood announced the effort to transform the nation’s transportation system by developing rail infrastructure and launching high-speed passenger rail services in 100- to 600-mile corridors that connect U.S. communities.
The Obama Administration is moving fast to put in place this agenda. Congress passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), which included an $8 billion High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail (HSIPR) grant program.
Obama has proposed a continuing $1 billion annual investment in high-speed rail. The Department of Transportation (DOT) has issued a strategic plan for high-speed rail and recently announced guidelines for states and groups of states to apply for the economic recovery funds. The DOT expects to announce the first round of merit-based grants in the fall.

Review by Linda Lane, Jetsetters Magazine Entertainment Editor
At long last Las Vegas has a show that harks back to the glorious days of beautiful, bawdy productions that left audiences glowing with steamy reverie. PEEPSHOW starring Holly Madison, the petite, bosomy blond, Hugh Hefner’s main squeeze on The Girls Next Door, and a contender on Dancing With The Stars is a crowd pleaser. The night I saw Peepshow at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino, both men and women became part of the interactive fairy tale that marries Broadway dancers with naked showgirls, burlesque and serious, belting rock n’ roll.
Peepshow was created by Jerry Mitchell, a Tony Award winning director and choreographer who, along with a team of equally brilliant theatrical specialists has accomplished what few shows have done since Cirque de Soleil became the Strip’s primary source of entertainment. When considering PEEPSHOW think more along the lines of lounge meets Broadway.
The show opened with Mel B. – Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown – and Kelly Monaco. After their 90 day contract was up Holly Madison dawned the looking for love Little Bo Peep costume and Shoshana Bean, a Broadway dynamo who played Elphaba in Wicked took the reins. The original cast of singers and dancers – which includes a spectacular pole dancing sequence – were already in place.
Tickets range from $65 to $100 plus tax.
The VIP option offers cabaret seating at the foot of the stage along with your choice of a double complimentary cocktail for $165 per ticket.
A bottle service upgrade with top shelf spirits is now available for an additional $55.
Reminiscent of the good old Rat Pack days when Vegas headliners were tossed bras and panties and room keys, Peepshow delivers an evening of great entertainment. Audience members are ushered into a large showroom with tables near the stage and theater seating above.
There is no playbill. Sexy cocktail waitress and camera girls circulate, and once the audience is ready to party the show begins. The use of black and white footage through a keyhole establishes old Hollywood glamour.
It sets the tone for Holly’s surreal transition from businesswoman to Bo Peep. Her faithful, adorable dog turns into a male dancer.
Together the team ventures into and out of classic fairy tales that are designed to rev the audience’s motor. And they do!
The show itself is the star.
The singers and dancers – pros from Broadway, film and television – the costumes – lots of pasties – and undulating male musculature take a saddle swing to new heights.
Shoshana Bean delivers song after song with sultry energy and know-how.
Her credits include singing back up for Michael Jackson. Madison, on the other hand is still getting comfortable with her role. Playing herself on The Girls Next Door encompassed an entirely different set of disciplines.
On film, Holly is a stunner, and given the sweetness of her personality and the exposure of her famous breasts the audience doesn’t expect her to be Liza Minnelli.
They’re simply happy that she’s there – in the flesh – romping from Little Red Riding Hood to Goldie Locks. The adoration and applause are genuine.
The Peepshow website offers a Meet and Greet Holly Madison: Meet Holly in person with this exclusive add-on to your PEEPSHOW ticket. Post-show meet and greet includes a Champagne toast with Holly, an Autographed photo of Holly and the opportunity to take your own picture with Holly! Hurry! Space is limited. Inquire at the Peepshow box office for details. Wow! Talk about smart marketing!
As far as I’m concerned, if you’re an adult and you want to see an adult show in Las Vegas, Peepshow is my number one pick. It’s fun, flamboyant, and there’s definitely something exciting for everyone.
PEEPSHOW plays Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday at 9 pm. Friday and Saturday there are two performances: 8 and 10:30 pm. There are three ways to purchase tickets: online: www.ticketmaster.com, by phone: 800-745-3000, or in person at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino at the CHI Showroom box office located on the mezzanine level overlooking the casino floor.
