Ross Orlando's Tahoe Spotlight
The Harveys Summer Concert
Series brings some of the biggest
shows touring to Tahoe for all of us
to enjoy each year. There are over
7,000 guests per show, and with the
help of volunteers from the Harrah’s
and Harveys employee pool, it’s
always a big success for the biggest
entertainment town in the world.
Earth, Wind & Fire and Chicago
created a fun party for all ages. The two
bands opened the show playing songs
together, and then each played their
set, followed by them playing together
again with all their classic hits. To
hear original members Philip Bailey,
Verdine White and Ralph Johnson
from EWF, and James Pankow, Walter
Parazider, Bill Champlin and Robert
Lamm from Chicago, with all their
bandmates playing together, was a
beautiful mix of instruments and voices
that blended so cool together – what a
treat! They were hit makers in the 70s
and 80s, and Tahoe received a jukebox
filled with their classics to enjoy.
Legends Willie Nelson and Bob
Dylan also performed at the outdoor
venue. Willie, at 76 years old, is
amazing – what an American icon!
With his guitar with a hold in it – and
he likes it that way – Nelson sang his
classics with a tight little band. I met
him around ten years ago for photos,
and he’s just the nicest person! Willie
even recorded a record inside Harrah’s
Showroom in the 70s. Dylan had a hot
band, and it was cool to hear him play
Elvis Presley’s classic, “Heartbreak
Hotel.” Dylan doesn’t like to have his
photo taken – but what a body of work
and influences he has had with artists
over the years.
The party continues outdoors at
Harveys with Chickenfoot, Sept. 5.
This new super-group with Sammy
Hagar on vocals, Joe Satriani on lead
guitar, Michael Anthony from Van
Halen on bass, and Chad Smith from
the Red Hot Chili Peppers, on drums,
will crank it up with some good ol’
Rock ‘n’ Roll. They just put out a CD
and have been touring. We’re lucky
once again to have this in our backyard.
Don’t miss this Tahoe party!
Harveys also has The Improv with
host Howie Nave from KRLT 93.9, and
new comics each week to laugh with.
The Hard Rock is always a good
time for food and drinks. Jesse’s Cool
Black Kettle plays classic Rock on
Fridays and Saturdays at the Tahoe
Live Stage, and you can eat at the Hard
Rock out front while you listen.
Horizon has Carnival Cabaret,
the very popular and unique show that
tourists and locals alike really enjoy.
It’s men impersonating Cher, Dolly,
Bette, Liza, Reba and more. Mix
humor with the star and host James
“Gypsy” Haake, and it’s a fun time.
Haake’s been in many movies and TV
shows. At 77, his humor has never
been better. That, mixed with all the
cool music and dancers, makes for a
good time. Check it out yourself.
Opal Ultra Lounge inside
MontBleu is a great club with cool
DJ music, live music, drink specials
(like Dollar Drinks on Thursdays, and
Ladies Drink for Free on Fridays),
the hot lingerie show on Wednesdays
where the sexy ladies put on many sexy
lingerie outfits (a real crowd pleaser),
and Two Dollar Well Drinks. Get some
big smiles and check it out!
BLU Nightclub is open on Fridays
and Saturdays, and you can see Bobby
bodypaint the girls – wow!
Harrah’s has Blues Traveler,
Sept. 12. John Popper on harmonica,
vocals and guitar is a real treat – what
a sound they make! Sept. 19 is the
Robert Cray Band with classic Blues
and so much more you’ll like. Sept.
26 is Merle Haggard with Country
music that goes way back. Oct. 3
Tommy Castro Band appears with
many talented artists playing Rhythm
& Blues, always a good time. Oct. 10
is Kenny Wayne Shepherd – what a
talent!
Greg London’s “Iconman” put
on an impressive show that mixed a
ton of impressions with music that
included everyone from Ozzie Ozborn
to Sammy Davis, Jr. He plays Reno
Harrah’s all the time.
VEX Nightclub on Friday and
Saturday nights is packed with fun and
sexy Go-Go Girls.
Cabo Wabo at Harveys, with live
music and DJs, is always a good time.
Clint, from Brothers Bar & Grill,
had a fun Grand Reopening Party. They
have great food and drink specials.
They will host once again the 19th
Annual Lake Tahoe Toy Run, Oct. 3.
Proceeds benefit Christmas Cheer.
Fox & Hound had a cool benefit
for the American Cancer Society with
music by Deep Fryed Mojo.
Bar 24 Taproom and Grill, inside
Bill’s, has a lot of very happening live
music that Late Nite Billy brings in to
enjoy.
Outdoor music at The Beacon
mixed with Rum Runners and food is
always a Tahoe treat.
Zephyr Cove Resort has their
Sunset Bar, boat cruises, volleyball,
and so much more to enjoy.
Tahoe favorite G Love & Special
Sauce will be at the Crystal Bay
Casino, Sept. 9-10.
And remember, catch all the
summer action now. Have fun – you’re
in Tahoe!

COMEDY FROM THE
Is summer really almost over?
Doesn’t seem like it ever had a chance
to get started. We had a lot of isolated
thunderstorms and at times I thought I
was in Miami and not the lake. Wait.
Those weren’t thunderstorms but rather
naysayers at a town hall meeting on
Health Care Reform. Hey before you start
showing your true political party colors
(which is usually gray) at least take a
moment and try to put yourself there
and see how you would react. I know we
need some affordable health insurance
but when the big corporations are asking,
“Well where’s the profit in that?” I think
we need to come up with something if
anything because those who are now
paying in to Social Security will probably
start protesting just before the system runs
dry just before they get an opportunity to
use it for themselves. Maybe we can buy
out old people to not get health care. You
know sort of like a golden handshake as
an incentive to get someone top retire
early so that the system can save some
money. And what a great opportunity too
reducing one’s carbon footprint at the
same time so in essence another way to
protect the system as well as the planet.
We could reinstate the abandoned Cash
for Clunkers program but use it instead
now on people. I’m sure there’s a time
limit when pacemakers will run out but
by then it would be too late. Cash in now
I say. Call your Congressman and tell
him or her what you think. Do it for the
children.
Speaking of clunkers (ouch) Dennis
Blair returns to the lake for the first
time this year. His act combines music,
standup and topical observations. He’s
performed virtually everywhere coast to
coast including comedy clubs, corporate
venues, cruise ships and concert halls. He’s
been on The Tonight Show, HBO and cohosted the Stephanie Miller Radio Show
with comedic legend Elayne Boosler.
Dennis has appeared with everybody is
seems ranging from musical artists such
as The Beach Boys, Tom Jones and
Gloria Estefan to comedic legends such
as Joan Rivers, Jackie
Mason and the late great
Rodney Dangerfield. In
fact it was Dangerfield
who really gave him his
start taking him in as
his protégé and together
they toured the United
States and Canada for
over three years. Dennis
conceived and co-wrote
Rodney’s hit movie,
“Easy Money” and also
played two cameo roles.
He co-wrote and was
a featured actor in two
Dangerfield specials on
ABC and was creative
consultant for the album
“Rappin’ Rodney”. The
title song (which he cowrote) was nominated
for a Grammy Award.
He wrote and performed
the song “Ordinary Man” which appears
on the “Easy Money” soundtrack album.
And he won the “Charlie” (Chaplin)
Award for “Best Comedian in New
York.” Appearing with Dennis is firsttimer-to-the-lake Hiram Kasten. Can’t
wait to see his act he started way back
when Seinfeld was working the road and
Ray Romano was his opening act! More
on Hiram on my radio show when he
arrives which by the way is September
9th through the 13th.
Anthony Griffith is also one who
hasn’t been up here in a very long time.
He truly is a gem of a person and even
back in the 90s when I first met him I
knew we would remain good friends
through just about anything. He’s a very
unique individual with a skewed look at
the world we live in. Even his childhood
was laying the groundwork for what
would be a life of stand up. “Kids in
my neighborhood loved playing cops
and robbers which I hated because I
was always forced to be the prostitute.”
Anthony was reared by a very religious
mother which is probably one reason
his humor has always been nonoffensive and filled with many different
characters growing up. His observational
style on virtually everything around
him is sometimes brilliant. On living
in Hollywood Grif says, “I saw a dog
wearing a sweater and matching cap...
I was wearing that same outfit.” He’s
one of the funniest gentlemen comics
I’m aware of and quite dry I might add.
He’s been described as hilarious, unique,
original, intense and witty. “Inquisitive as
a child, observing people has always been
second nature to me. Three occupations
I observed, if done correctly always had
audiences mesmerized-the athlete, the
singer and the comedian. Never one to
hold a note, outside the shower and with
my aspirations to become a professional
dodge baller ending after grade school,
my gift I discovered, actually stumbled
onto, was comedy” says Grif. One thing
about Anthony that is so moving is that
he shares with the audience his diagnosis
with Multiple sclerosis (MS) and how
his relationship with God has helped
him throughout not to mention a terrific
relationship with his wife. Oh yeah did
I mention that he is also one of the
funniest guys out there? Performing
with Grif is yet another first-timer-tothe-lake by the name of Jann Karam.
In addition to being a very funny last
she’s also an actress and writer whose
numerous T.V. credits include stand-up
appearances on Late Show with David
Letterman, The Tonight Show and HBO’s
Young Comedians Show. She played one
of Jerry’s girlfriend’s on Seinfeld (The
Switch) and wrote, directed and starred
in festival-award winning film, Under
the Big Muu-Muu, a funny, touching look
at mother-daughter relationships. She
performs her one-woman show Reclining
Nude on La Cienega in Los Angeles and
around the country. In addition, she’s
written a book based on the show-a humorous collection of short stories
about life, love and finding a place to lie
down. Wow what a week. See both Grif
and Jann Sept.16th through the 20th.
Returning once again are a few
favorites including Steve White with
Scott Kennedy September 23rd through
the 27th and John Caponera with the
Jewel of the Sierra (from Gardnerville)
Kat Simmons September 30th through
October 4th.
Howie Nave is the host/emcee/manager
of The Improv @ Harveys every Tuesday
through Sunday.

Fly Fishing
My favorite time of the year!
Kids are back in school, the weather
is wonderful and the fishing really
turns on with big bugs and of course
a few small ones as well! Don’t get
me wrong, I enjoy the families the
Summers bring but the un-crowded
rivers in the Fall are fantastic! We
still have some great opportunities
in September for the local kids to
do some fishing here in the basin.
September 7th is LCT day at
Sawmill Pond and September 20th
is the Moose Lodges “Kids Fishing
Derby” at Baron Lake!
The Lahontan Cutthroat Trout
Celebration at Sawmill Pond will
be an event not to be missed! This
event will be a community event and
everyone is welcome to attend. Kids
under 15 years old are the only ones
allowed to fish but there will be all
kinds of activities being offered for
all ages including some fly fishing
instruction, information about the
LCT, live music, food and games
for the kids. US Fish & Wildlife
Service will have a tank with LCT
in it so people can see the species of
trout that used to be the only species
of trout in our watershed. They
are also stocking 1000 LCT for the
kids to catch which is the first time
there will have been Cutthroat Trout
stocked in Sawmill pond! This
should be a wonderful event and
please remember that this event is
for kids as well as adults but the kids
are the only ones allowed to fish.
The 8th annual South Lake
Tahoe Moose Lodge Kids Fishing
Derby will be held at the Tahoe
Paradise Park’s Baron Lake and is
free for kids of all ages! This
is a great event for the kids with
numerous prizes, food for all and a
bunch of fish for the kids to catch!
Some equipment will be provided
for the kids to use as well as bait
and tackle. This event gets pretty
crowded so get there early and find
a good spot!
All of the kids fishing events
including the Sawmill Pond fishing
derby in June are run with donations
from service clubs, non-profit
organizations and local community
members. Please consider donating
to these events and or if you know of
any other groups that donate to kids
events please let me know! If we
don’t have fish for the kids we can’t
keep the kids fishing and fishing
is a great outdoor activity and one
that has been in our families for
generations! Please donate to one of
these causes!
Now for the best fishing spots
in September... The East Carson &
West Carson Rivers are on fire and
should stay that way into the Winter
months! Fish below Hangman’s
with Big Hoppers and small droppers
as well as Tricos... Heenan opens
September 4th, Caples is chalked
full of fish (walk the shoreline and
look for cruisers), Indian Creek
Reservoir is and will be great, the
East and West Walker Rivers are
in great shape and last but not least
Victor Babbit
give Red Lake a try!
These are just a few of the
fisheries we access this time of
year and if you have questions on
these or any others in our area, just
give us a call or stop by the shop
located at 2705 Lake Tahoe blvd.
next to Midas Mufflers and about
3.5 miles from the Casinos. Our
phone number is 530-541-8208. We
have full guide services available
for all angler levels, specializing
in teaching the art of fly fishing.
Thanks for reading and the best
fishing of the year is just around the
corner!

Another Late Night with LateNiteBilly
“New York, New York. Big city of
dreams, but everything in New York ain’t
always what it seems.” DJ AM’s last tweet on
Twitter.com before he was found dead in his
home of an apparent drug overdose in New
York just several hours ago before I write
this. RIP brotha. It was just two months ago
that I was sitting down to write my Article
here for Lake Tahoe’s Entertainer Magazine
when I learned of Michael Jacksons death. It
inspired my writing then as will the untimely
death of DJ AM tonight. On a bright note, I
can confidently say that EVERY party goer in
the World is in for a treat tonight as EVERY
DJ across the Globe is about to throw down
their most memorable set ever in Tribute.
When I am done writing I will head down to
VEX to hear DJ Brian Rockwell do his part
to show his love for such an amazing and
inspirational DJ. DJ AM graced the stage
of Altitude Nightclub (now VEX) several
times over the years and truly loved Tahoe.
Now in recent time I have been battling
with something myself. I am a (recovering)
addict and alcoholic. I am not ashamed of
this and have often gone public about it
when talking to the press about my career. I
have been clean and sober now for over five
years and yet work in Bars and Nightclubs
seven days and nights a week. I can attest
first hand that a career in the Entertainment
Industry is a testing one but I have managed
very well. It takes a lot of strength and
courage to do what I do. When I first got
sober, I thought it was important to share
my experience publicly as to help others
out there that still suffer and give them the
courage to get help.
Last week I was interviewed for five
hours at my home for an Article for www.
SouthLakeTahoe.com (you can find the
Article there) and again I was open about
my addiction and my past in association with
my career in the Entertainment Industry.
When I read the finished version I had to
wonder if talking about my demons and my
past really did me justice five years later?
I have accomplished SO much in sobriety
that I wondered if I was just making myself
look bad when I had a chance to shine with
my accomplishments? Today I have NO
regrets. Press says that DJ AM was found
next to a crack pipe and empty prescription
bottles. This is someone that was paid
$25,000 per night to DJ the most exclusive
Clubs in the World alongside the biggest
Celebrities in the Industry but was found
dead at 36 years old. If I can do what I do
clean and sober, speak about it loudly and
help or inspire even one more person than
I already have, I want to be heard loud and
clear! I’ve knocked on Heavens door many
times and unless I clearly remember where
I came from I will be knocking again but all
too untimely. Again, RIP Adam Goldstein
aka DJ AM. One Love.
The Entertainment Industry has no
shortage of people with a colorful past and
Mickey Avalon is a prime example. With a
childhood rough enough to guarantee him
rock star success, by the time he was out of
his teenage years -- at least according to the
few details he’s given -- Mickey Avalon had
sold pot (with his mother), been addicted to
heroin and dope, worked as a graffiti artist
in L.A., converted to Orthodox Judaism (his
parents were both non-practicing Jews, and
his paternal grandparents were survivors of
Auschwitz), got married and had a daughter,
prostituted himself for drug money, watched
his father die, and found his sister’s dead
body.
All of this gave ample material for
his rhymes, which he started writing after
his pal, the former MTV VJ Simon Rex,
encouraged him to compose his own songs.
Avalon, Rex (who rapped under the name
Dirt Nasty), and Armen Melik (aka Andre
Legacy) began recording and releasing their
own material as the Dyslexic Speedreaders,
an irreverent group that gave a satirical and
often lascivious look into the L.A. club and
drug culture. Avalon’s stage presence, which
mixed a kind of hyper- and often ambiguous
sexuality akin to the trashy glam rockers
of the ‘70s, gained the attention of DJ and
aspiring manager Kev-E-Kev (also managed
DJ AM), who was soon helping Avalon hawk
his self-titled CD -- wrapped in a newspaper
advertising adult services -- on the streets.
His music, in particular the song “Jane
Fonda,” thanks to its appearance in the HBO
series Entourage as well its availability on his
MySpace site, started gaining an audience,
and in 2006 his album was reissued as the
first release from MySpace Records in joint
collaboration with Interscope Records.
Catch him live with Smoov-e and DJ Jazzy
Gems on Sunday, September 6th at Bar 24.
Next up, Saturday, September 12th
Late-Nite Productions will host our first
ever “Blacklight Party” featuring DJ
Donald Glaude. Confident. Exuberant. Raw.
Innovative. These are just a few of the words
industry insiders and fans have used to
describe the talent behind one of America’s
favorite house DJs, Donald Glaude. Ranked
68 on DJMag’s Top 100 DJs List in 2005,
Donald skyrocketed to 48 this year and his
genius keeps on growing. Reno’s best, FM
Marc and XM Fredie (Hi’R Entertainment
/ Volume Control) and Planet DJ’s Eric J
will get the party started. Come dressed to
impress in your finest white attire as we
transform the club to stimutate your mind
and soul with the James Brown of DJs.
Till next month Lake tahoe, Keep the
Vibe Alive. ~LateNiteBilly

Carnival Cabaret Celebrates 1st Anniversary Labor Day Weekend
One of the saddest days of my life
was when my show, Carnival Cabaret,
left Lake Tahoe in January of 2004. We
had the longest running show in the
history of the city. I never understood
why the show had to end at the Horizon.
Flash forward to the beginning of 2008:
I am contacted about bringing Carnival
Cabaret back to the Horizon by then
general manager, Steve Loyd. I was
ecstatic that Carnival Cabaret would be
coming home to the Horizon.
I have a real passion for female
impersonator shows. I’ve been involved
in producing these shows since 1990
when I was making my living as a
George Michael impersonator. For me,
it’s the greatest job in the world!
During our absence from Lake
Tahoe, not a day went by without people
asking where the show went and when
it would be coming back. Carnival
Cabaret is a show that people keep
coming back to time and time again.
It’s a light-hearted, funny, exhilarating
and captivating experience that takes
the audience away from their everyday
lives.
James (Gypsy) Haake, Carnival
Cabaret’s master of ceremonies, is a
77 year old actor who was discovered
by Mel Brooks in the early 1980s in a
Beverly Hills night spot called “La Cage
Aux Folles.” La Cage was the first of
several cabarets that opened around the
world inspired by the award-winning
movie of the same name. With his sharp
sense of humor, masterful timing and
outrageous gowns, Mr. Haake has been
a key figure in the success of the show.
He is the heart and soul of Carnival
Cabaret.
The show is now celebrating its
first anniversary on Labor Day Weekend
and I couldn’t be happier. We returned
with a twelve week contract and now
the Horizon has asked us to stay on
permanently. We are the only ongoing
female impersonator production in the
country appearing in a casino. We’re
happy to be home!
I love Lake Tahoe. It’s one of the
most beautiful places in the world.
and I wouldn’t have a show any other
place. Thank you, Lake Tahoe, for
your support. I look forward to making
history again.
Dan - Producer

Two Time Grammy Nominated Rap Artist SKEE-LO at Whiskey Dicks
Where do you want to be on
September 19th? Thats right folks,
Domantay Sports & Entertainment
presents legendary solo rap artist
SKEE-LO to perform for one night
only at Whiskey Dicks Saloon in So.
Lake Tahoe. SKEE-LO has had two
Grammy Nominations: “Best Solo
Rap Performance” and “Best Rap
Album.” Three Billboard Video Award
Nominations: “Best New Artist,” “Best
Clip of the Year,” and “Maximum
Vision Clip of the Year.” SKEE-LO
was born in Chicago’s (south side) IL,
and moved to New York City in the
late 70’s. He was influenced by artist
such as: KRS-1, L.L. Cool J, Rakim,
and Kurtis Blow; admiring their styles
& technique. SKEE-LO moved to Los
Angeles CA, in the mid 80’s. His “I
Wish” single, with a video that parodied
Forrest Gump, became a huge hit on
radio and MTV during the summer of
1995, and his identically titled debut
album was released shortly thereafter
earning him 2 Grammy nominations
for both album & single. Today, after
being several years “M.I.A”., SKEE-
LO resurfaces with a new exciting
album titled: “Overdose.” This project
is more like SKEE-LO (Moch-3)! A
mature sound from an evolved artist,
an all star cast of producers & special
features, toppled with the unique style
of SKEE-LO’s song-writing. The
album is said not to be the return of SKEELO, but rather the start of “SKEE-LO
MUSIK” the Record label; with more
artist/groups of all genres to follow.
Check out his new sound at myspace.
com/skeelomusic. Performing with him
is BonusTraxx out of Ripon California
and local favorites Outta Control better
known as O.C.T. who is now tearing it
up in San Diego California. Sorry kids
this is a 21 and over show. The cost is
$15 and the show starts a 9 p.m. and if
you want to get started early we have
pool and shuffelboard, not to mention a
selection of over 100 beers!
If your hungry we proudly serve
Fat City Food Company. So mark your
calendars and tell your friends to come
see a legend in one of the best show of
the summer.
