Ross Orlando's Tahoe Spotlight
Harrah’s South Shore Room
has been celebrating its 50th
Anniversary and continues to bring
a variety of entertainment to their
legendary stage and showroom.
Brian Wilson, the main creative
force with the Beach Boys, brought
a 10-piece band of very talented
musicians and his jukebox of classic
surf rock hits for everyone to enjoy.
This famous composer, arranger,
producer and musician was joking
with the excited audience, engaging
with stories about his songs, having
sing-a-longs, and really enjoying
himself as he played keyboards, bass
and sang with incredible musicians
that
harmonized
beautifully.
Classic like, their first hit in 1961
“Surfin”, “Good Vibrations”,
“Wouldn’t It Be Nice”, “Help Me
Rhonda”, California Girls”, God
Only Knows” and the hit list goes
on and on—amazing how many hit
songs they had.
One of Tahoe’s favorite bands
Tower of Power comes to Harrah’s
January 16 and 17. Their funky
soul music makes you feel good all
over, I love these guys! For over
40 years, Emilio Castillo on tenor
sax and vocals and Stephen “Doc”
Kupka on baritone sax have kept
this funky soulful band together.
Francis “Rocco” Prestia on bass
guitar, was also right there in the
beginning in the late 60’s when
their sound was created. Original
member Mic Gillette on trumpet
and trombone is back touring with
the boys along with drummer
David Garibaldi, another original
member. They perform in Europe
and Japan where the fans love to
hear “What is Hip?”, “So Very Hard
To Go”, “Down to the Nightclub”,
“Your Still a Young Man”, “Soul
With a Capitol S”, “Don’t Change
Horses”, “Soul Vacation”, “Oakland
Stroke”, “Still Digging on James
Brown”. Tower of Power has a
universal sound that is loved by
many worldwide. Their horn section
has recorded with so many diverse
groups from Santana to Elton John.
Roger Smith on keyboards and
vocals played Tahoe for many years
and then his dream came true, he
joined Tower of Power. Smith also
has his own Jazz CD’s that are on
the top of the jazz charts. This is a
must see show for all music lovers.
I’ve known Emilio for many years,
lots of good times. Welcome back
to Tahoe Tower of Power. Also
coming to Harrah’s January 9th is
MC Hammer. January 23rd is Air
Supply. January 30th is Chubby
Checker. February 5th Starship
featuring Mickey Thomas. I
recommend getting Tower of
Powers new CD, Great American
Soul Book that features Joss Stone,
Sam Moore, Tom Jones and Huey
Lewis.
The Tahoe Adventure Film
Festival that was at MontBleu
showroom was a huge success once
again. Hosted by Todd Offenbacher
from RSN-TV, who creates a party
atmosphere for this event, puts
together short clips from adventure
films that are unreal to watch. Like
Alex Honald’s free solo climb of
two huge big wall classics from Zion
to Yosemite, was amazing to watch.
Then to see him in person on stage
getting an award from Todd that
they give out each year was super
cool for everyone. The World’s
biggest Tahiti swells for surfers was
a big WOW also. The Tribute of
Ski Legend Shane McConkey was
very heart whelming. Offenbacher
himself has rock climbed all over
the world and is truly talented in
his own right also. And the Go-GoGirls is always another added
bonus to this fun Tahoe event. Their
showroom has The Legends of
Motown January 16th to perform.
I enjoy going on KRLT 93.9
radio and promoting the Lake
Tahoe Entertainer with program
director and DJ Steve Harness
each month. Tahoe info and laughsalways a good time-Thank You.
Their Freakie Phat Fridays with
every style of music starts at 6am
with Howie Nave and goes all dayvery cool music.
Lakeside Inn had a fun ULLR
party to get ready for winter. The
locals love Lakeside for great food
and drink specials. Whiskey Dicks
has a variety of live music to check
out and over 100 beers to choose
from.
Have fun, you’re in Tahoe!

COMEDY FROM THE MOUNTAIN
Well, we’re in 2010 and officially
pronounced ‘Twenty-Ten’ and NOT
‘Two-Thousand-Ten.’ I can remember
not too long ago that Y2K was supposed
to set us all back into the Dark Ages and
that we would have to start learning how
to use an abacus again. It’s been a tough
year somewhat tougher for others. Stress
factor was amped up this past year so
one of my resolutions for 2010 is to not
let things stress me out at all. Problems
still persist whether stressed out or not
so best to go with the attitude of a duck
letting the water just roll off of me. No
getting pissed at shitty motorists (within
reason) they’ll get theirs eventually. The
other resolution I’m going with is to just
live in the moment. Realize that this is
the last time this memory will happen
so do everything possible to make that
moment the best ever. Oh yeah and
more flexibility too. If you’re rigid and
don’t budge you just snap. Being flexible
helps you cope with whatever life or
self-destructive people have to throw at
you. So those are just a few New Year’s
Resolutions I’m going to stick to. Join
me won’t you?
One guy who epitomizes being
in the moment is Chicago comedian
John Caponera. He really does have
a good time with what life has to offer
and brings that to the stage. He’s a
huge fan of sports too incorporating
into his act some of his favorite sports
announcers. When not in Chicago ‘Cap’
(his nickname we call him) is constantly
writing and pitching new comedy sitcom
ideas. In fact both he and best bud Rocky
LaPorte wrote a pilot that starred both
of them and of course based in Chicago.
Past television appearances include “The
Good Life” and hosted Comedy Central’s
“Jocks” and ESPN’s “Talk II.” He gueststarred on NBC’s long running hospital
drama, ER, “Love & War,” “Blossom”
and one of my favorite shows, “Tales
From The Crypt” on HBO. Then there
were slots on “The Tonight Show, “
“The Dennis Miller Show, “ “L.A. Law,
“ NBC’s Miniseries, “Drug Wars,” “The
John Laroquette Show, “ “The Drew
Carey Show, “ “The Espy Awards” and
a host of other TV shows that I can’t
remember. J. Malham Jr. of The Chicago
Tribune wrote of Caponera, “Every so
often the kingdom of comedy is graced
with a gifted, naturally refined performer
who can effectively demonstrate the
transcendental powers of the medium
while making it look deceptively easy.”
Performing with Cap is newcomer Tom
Segura. Both are here the week of
January 6th through the 10th.
I just performed with him last
month at The Throckmorton Theatre in
Mill Valley. What a ride too. Bobby
Slayton is known for his sardonic jabs
and cutting wit that earned him the name,
“The Pittbull of Comedy.” A name that
was given him years ago that still holds
true today. He’s been in a lot of movies
including “Dreamgirls” and “Bandits”
with Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton
and Cate Blanchett and directed by Barry
Levinson. Slayton’s role was that of
Darren Head, the host of a tabloid TV
show called “Crime Stoppers,” who has
been following the exploits of two bank
robbers (Willis and Thornton). Bobby’s
other movie appearances include “Loser,”
directed by Amy Heckerling and starring
Jason Biggs and Mena Suvari. Bobby
was also in “Third Wheel” starring Ben
Affleck and Luke Wilson. On the cable
front Slayton costarred as “Joey Bishop,”
opposite Ray Liotta and Joe Mantegna
in the critically acclaimed HBO original
movie “The Rat Pack.” One of his best
roles though was on the criticallyacclaimed HBO series “The Mind of
the Married Man.” Bobby’s character
was called, well, “Slayton.” Bobby also
taped his own half hour comedy special,
produced by Open Mike Productions,
for Channel 5 in the United Kingdom.
The special, taped several years ago at
the Comedy Store in London continues
to be a raving success. You can catch
Slayton in “The Aristocrats” which is
currently available on DVD. It would be
insane to list Slayton’s credits but one
stands out in particular. He appeared
only one time on The Tonight Show
when Johnny Cason was at the helm.
Carson was about to retire soon but not
before he was treated to Slayton’s set.
Bobby cracked up Carson so much that
upon completing his set was invited to
panel with Johnny which of course was
the biggest boost for any comic’s career
when starting out. He was the winner of
the San Francisco International Stand-Up
Comedy Competition, made numerous
late night talk show appearances, specials
on HBO and Showtime as the list goes on
and on. If you offend easy this will be the
show to miss but if you like your comedy
serve up brutally honest you what to do.
Performing with Bobby is first timer to
Tahoe Nikki Glasser Jan. 13th through
the 17th.
Nobody is more the Facebook/online
freakoid than comedian
Dat Phan and that is meant
as a compliment. I think
1 out of every 5 postings
has something to do with
Dat on Facebook. When he
can tear himself away from
Facebook he’s finishing
up his latest film project.
His latest movie, “When
in Rome” comes out early
this year and is produced by
Disney. The movie includes
Kristen Bell from “Sarah
Marshall” and Jon Heder
from “Napoleon Dynamite”
along with Danny DeVito,
Anjelica Huston, Dax
Shephard and Will Arnett. A
literal rags to (almost) riches
story it wasn’t that long ago
that he was living out of
his car and barely eeked out
an existence. Things paid
off dramatically though when NBC
launched a comedy-based reality show
called “Last Comic Standing.” This
being the very first time for the new
show the talent scouts were focusing
primarily on unknown talent that had
never been a late night talk show. The
first season would be a launching pad
much like “American Idol” does when
tapping into unproven, untried talent. It
worked and it opened doors like crazy for
Dat. After winning that competition Dat
was all of a sudden all over the comedic
landscape. Say what you will (and
many comics have) the once unknown
Dat Phan soon found himself on “The
Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” appeared
in his first half hour comedy special
on Comedy Central and made his first
major motion picture with Kim Basinger
in the drama, “Cellular.”On stage much
of Dat’s material stems from his family
background and is an integral part of his
humor. “It was my mom that raised me,”
Phan said. “That's why so much of my
material is based on my mom. Eightyfive percent of my material is true.”
Performing with Dat is yet another first
timer to Tahoe Michael Pascak. Both
are here January 20th through the 24th.
Howie Nave is the host/emcee/

Lake Tahoe's Hit Show's MC Announces Retirement
Horizon Casino’s Carnival Cabaret
announced that host James “Gypsy”
Haake will have his final performance on
December 31, 2009. James Haake, better
known as Gypsy, has hosted Lake Tahoe’s
hit show Carnival Cabaret since its start
in February 2000. Gypsy has performed
in more than 1000 shows at the Horizon
Casino since the show’s opening.
Gypsy was the original Master of
Ceremonies for the cabaret shows “La
Cage Aux Folles” when they started
in the early 1980s after the success of
the blockbuster film of the same name.
Gypsy also opened the La Cage cabaret in
Atlantic City, and the most famous one in
Las Vegas. Gypsy got his big break in the
Beverly Hills celebrity hot spot in 1983
when actor Mel Brooks and his wife Anne
Bancroft came to see La Cage’s female
impersonators. Brooks cast Gypsy in his
film “To Be Or Not To Be.” From that
point forward, Gypsy’s star continued
to rise. He appeared in such TV shows
as the “Fall Guy”, “Dynasty”, “Mike
Hammer”, “Hollywood Wives”, and his
most famous TV role as Peg Bundy’s
Uncle Otto in “Married With Children”.
Gypsy also appeared in feature films like
“The Morning After” with Jane Fonda
and shared the screen with Shelley Long
in “Troop Beverly Hills”.
Carnival Cabaret producer Dan Gore
says, “Gypsy has paved the way for many
people, myself included, and countless
performers in this quirky industry. He’s
a one-of-a-kind M.C. and will be missed
greatly. I am grateful and honored to have
shared almost a decade with Gypsy in my
show, Carnival Cabaret.”
Carnival Cabaret is Horizon Casino’s
blockbuster celebrity impersonator revue,
originally opened in February 2000. The
show ran for four consecutive years at the
Horizon Casino and became the longest
running show in the history of Lake
Tahoe. The Horizon Casino brought back
its most successful show in September
2008.
James Gypsy Haake will be succeeded
by two new Master of Ceremonies:
Patrick Ross, Carnival Cabaret performer
veteran of over eight years, and Dennis
Werntz, the only female impersonator to
ever perform at the Grand Ole Opry.

Fly Fishing
Can’t really say the fly fishing
is going to be great at this time of
the year, but it can be if the weather
cooperates and you don’t mind fishing
in the cold! Or Go Ice Fishing! There
are quite a few choices for fly fishing
when it comes down to it. The East
Walker River is probably number one
and the rest kind of depend on your
willingness to drive and or suffer the
conditions. Pyramid Lake can be good,
The Little Truckee River can be good,
The Yuba River can be good as
well as the American River if you want
to chase Steelhead or you can make the
pilgrimage to the Trinity River with all
the others that can’t help themselves!
Steelheading is an addiction that can
only be cured by a good day on the
water and not all Steelheading days
are good days or should I say days that
you catch fish! When it is good it is
really good and you get that feeling
of accomplishment and when it is not,
well let’s just say it can be frustrating
at best… If none of these do it for you,
like I said earlier, Go Ice Fishing!
If you end up on the East Walker
River you will need some tiny stuff
like Midges in size 20 & 22 as well as
Baetis Nymphs in 18 & 20 and possibly
the use of flies we can barely see let
alone tie on… Those flies that take a
young eye to thread or tie a knot to! I
just can’t see them anymore and when
I can get one tied on by some fluke and
if it is on the surface I don’t even bother
trying to keep track of the drift and I
set the hook when I see a rise within a
mile of the fly. It works but not the best
way to do it. Or, fish a San Juan Worm
which always seems to take a fish or
two whatever time of the year it might
be! And when all else fails, Stay home
or Go Ice Fishing…
The American River opens up for
Steelhead fishing on New Years Day
and the flows are in good shape this
year! This could be the year of the
Steelhead on the American and it is
an easy drive over Highway 50 and
closer than the drive to the East Walker!
Glow Bugs, Beads, Caddis Nymphs
and Stonefly Nymphs for Nymph rigs
and Leech patterns for the guys that
like to swing the old fashion way…
My favorite spots are the areas just
below the hatchery off of Hazel Avenue
or along the American River Parkway
above Sunrise Blvd. Look for the fish
to be holding in the seams, tail outs and
in the side channels! Don’t forget your
Steelhead Card that is a requirement
when fishing waters with Steelhead…
You probably thought I was kidding
about the Ice Fishing! Actually it has
been quite good this year with all the
fish they put in to Caples Lake this past
season. Find a hole or drill your own
with the best spots being along the first
dam and at the Spillway area just before
Kirkwood. Jigging, soaking worms and
power bait will all produce fish! If they
don’t seem to be biting, switch holes
until you find one that is working. Red
Lake is also a good choice and usually
the catch there is Brooke Trout! My
favorite method is Jigging with a ¼ oz.
Kastmaster or with a Crappie Jig tipped
with a piece of corn, the kids love it
Victor Babbit
anyway! If you have never tried Ice
Fishing before and would like to give
it a shot, we are offering guided Ice
Fishing trips to Caples Lake this winter
and it makes for a great family outing!
For more information on these
fisheries or any others in our area,
give us a call at Tahoe Fly Fishing
Outfitters and we will be glad to point
you in the right direction or take you
out on a guided adventure. We can
supply everything you might need
for a day on the water or Ice for
that matter! We can be reached at
530-541-8208 or stop by the shop at
2705 Lake Tahoe Blvd. next to Midas
Mufflers and about 3.5 Miles from
the Casinos! Good luck fishing and
Happy New Year!

Another Late Night with LateNiteBilly
Wow! It was really good to be
back in Tahoe and see all the familiar
faces and all the new ones! I was out
on Girls Gone Wild Tour for three
months and can tell I was truly missed
by the response when I saw everyone
for the first time again! I have nothing
but love for you Tahoe!! I came back
to three shows. “How the Grouch Stole
Christmas” was completely sold-out in
Reno, and in Tahoe the following day,
very near capacity at Bar 24. Truly a
dope show featuring The Grouch & DJ
Fresh, Mistah FAB & Tito Bell, Fashawn
& Exile, Luckyiam & Sapient as “The
Prime”, plus Reno’s Who Cares and a
great way to go out with a bang as Bill’s
Casino will have shut its doors for good
by the time you read this. I have to thank
Mike Leeper and the entire crew over at
Bar 24 for all the great times. Next, we
saw Dirt Nasty at Whiskey Dicks and
it’s been a while since I’ve had a show
over there but for my first time back –
we packed the house and there’s more to
come, I promise!
As you can imagine, I had the time
of my life working for Girls Gone Wild
and love the new opportunities that I
have been afforded. I am going back out
on the road (still searching for the hottest
Girl in America!) in 2010 and am making
this a full-time gig! Girls Gone Wild is
producing a new reality show that will be
airing on HDNET Television beginning
the end of January and I will be a big part
of it! It is called “Search for the Hottest
Girl” and is based on the life of the Girls
Gone Wild Film Crew! Watch for me and
our crazy adventures! But, don’t worry,
I will still be bringing you lots of great
shows while I am out on the road! Let’s
talk about what I have coming up so far
this month…..
First, on Sunday, January 17th at
Whiskey Dicks – “The Dope Winter
Ball Tour 2010” featuring Tash (Tha
Alkaholiks), The Bayliens, League 510
and DJ True Justice. Tash He is most
known for his work as a member of West
Coast hip hop group, Tha Alkaholiks
alongside J-Ro and E-Swift. He has
also worked alongside Artists such as
Xibit, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Black Eyed
Peas, Outkast, Kurupt and more. Tash is
100% finished with his new solo album,
Control Freek on the Amalgam Digital
label. The album was released June 2009.
It features appearances from B-real,
J-Ro and King Tee and production by
Will.I.Am, Maestro, and J. Wells and
ready to rock Tahoe AGAIN!
Next, on Friday, January 29th
at Whiskey Dicks long time Tahoe
favorites - Lou Dog Trio, A Tribute to
Sublime will take the stage once again!
Who is going to miss over two hours of
every Sublime song they ever knew –
Live in Concert! And I have to say, as
good as you are ever going to hear it,
ask anyone that’s been to one of their
packed shows (and packed with Ladies)!
Original roots reggae rockers from San
Francisco, Audiodub will start off the
night.
Last for January and the very next
night, Saturday the 30th, the return
of Vancouver, Canada Hip-Hoppers,
Sweatshop Union plus very special
guests O.C.T. / Outta Control. With
tens of thousands of albums sold and
hundreds of shows rocked, the word of
mouth is spreading about Sweatshop
Union's style of conscious lyrics, highly
musical beats, and high energy live
shows that far surpass the average hip
hop concert. They have solidified their
position as one of Canada's top selling
independent hip hop artists. In a time
when hip hop music remains soulless and
simplistic in the eyes of the mainstream,
Sweatshop Union remain driven to
deliver a deeper, more meaningful sound
into the conscience of the masses.
Now, one more thing: read this,
remember this, and tell your friends.
No overpriced concerts here. Plain and
simple, buy your tickets in advance at
Whiskey Dicks, Mad About Music or
online at www.Ticketweb.com and each
show above is only $10.00! I’m hooking
you up! If you sleep and buy them on the
day of the show or at the door, it will be
$15. Each of these shows are dope and
well worth the money so get your tickets
early!
Don’t forget, you can follow my
Girls Gone Wild adventures on Twitter,
Facebook and MySpace /LateNiteBilly.
Keep keepin’ the Vibe Alive! ~LateNiteBilly
