Talent showcases were held for the tribute artists and the look-alikes along with the award presentations. The top three performances were selected to open the Country Superstars Show at the Golden Nugget on February 21st. One of the winners was Dave La Fame, as Tom Jones. Dave comes to us from Canada and he was great with his singing and his sexy Tom Jones gyrations. http://www.thisistomjones.com/

 Rising Star: Rob Anderson as Criss Angel.


 Impersonator you love to work with was Richard Hampton as Kenny Rogers.

Fans gathered on Freemont Street for the Red Carpet and fans were excited to meet and take photos with the look-alikes. Dee Dee Hanson, as Joan Rivers, hosted the Red Carpet event, interviewed all the talent and did a great hosting job. The tribute artists are very talented and many are sought out to do corporate shows and private parties. Getting a lot of attention was the fabulous looking Kiss Band. http://www.lasvegaskiss.com/

Also walking the red carpet was Bethany Owen, who has a one woman show “The Voice”, in the Kings Room at the Rio Hotel. Her impressions of many famous women get her standing ovations everyday in her show.
