Creating a New Sun City Anthem Amenity
"The Mark OToole Variety Show"
(Part Three of Three)
After all the planning and fingernail biting, the day finally arrived.
It was...
Steve Anderson, our Sun City Anthem President...
...welcomed all to the theater that included Ward One Henderson City Council member and current candidate for Henderson mayor, Michelle Romero...
Executive Board member of the Henderson Chamber of Commerce and candidate for Ward 3 Henderson City Council , Trish Nash...
&
Former President of the Henderson Chamber of Commerce and owner of Emerald Island Casino and the Rainbow Club in downtown Henderson, a man who played a major role in the downtown Henderson development, Tim Brooks...
...who also graciously donated 4 certificates for dinner for 4 at the Emerald Island as well as Rainbow Club restaurants for the free raffles at both the March 2nd and March 16th shows, as well as, inviting Mark OToole and I to be a part of a live radio broadcast at Emerald Island casino a few weeks prior.
And so the show began...
...not only with scheduled entertainers, but with others who stopped by to wish Mark OToole and Sun City Anthem the best !
The first, and I might add most surprising, was my dear friend and Star of The Dennis Bono show, Dennis Bono, the "King of Afternoon Entertainment", who recently celebrated his show's 22nd year, and is at the South Point Hotel every Thursday afternoon, at 2:00pm.
Who else came by to say hi? The "electric" Zowie Bowie...joining Mark OToole in a duet !
Zowie Bowie and Mark OToole
...and Las Vegas music icon, Bill Fayne...
...and The Tropicana's magician and Pawn Stars Murray Sawchuck...
But we can't forget the scheduled entertainers.
There was comedian, Geechy Guy, formerly a semi-finalist on America's Got Talent...who brought the house down with laughter.
...the beautiful and talented Ashley Fuller....
...and last but not least, the best of The Bronx Wanderers, Vinny, and his son, Vincent John....
...who not only sang, but participated in a "Jeopardy" contest of who knew each other better !
Followed by a duet with Vincent John and Ashley Fuller that rocked the hall !
Well, it all ended 2 hours later, 30 minutes past the scheduled time, but despite that length, the crowd didn't seem to mind .
Mark closed the show with a heartfelt song and a sincere thank you to all who made it possible, and as he left the stage saying to the audience:
"Did you have a good time?"...
...the audience gave him a standing ovation...
...a fitting tribute to a "job well done" by one of the most entertaining performers in Las Vegas.
Next show is scheduled for March 16th and tickets for the April 6th and April 20th will go on sale March 17th on the Sun City Anthem web site at 8:00am.
Well that's about it. Did you attend the show? Did you enjoy it?
