San Gennaro Feast is celebrating 33 years in Las Vegas with over 60 amusement Rides, Petting Zoo, Arts & Crafts, Games, Beer & Wine Gardens and the most delicious Italian Food. The Rio Hotel is hosting five big days in the Rio Parking Lot, from May 9 – 13, 2012, thanks to the owner Anthony Palmisano who every year is responsible for the annual event. He puts together the San Gennaro Feast to keep the Italian culture going for families.

The aroma of Italian Sausage and Peppers and Philly Cheese Steak is overwhelming, not to mention the pizza and shrimp scampi. The most delicious desserts and pastries are favorites too. It is truly a love affair with Italy.



A must stop booth is Steve Martorano’s, who is famous for his meatballs. His claim to making the best meatballs is noted in the Meatball eating contest he sponsors. I stopped and had his macaroni and meatballs and it was delicious. Steve is celebrating five successful years at the Rio with a cocktail reception and a four course dinner on May 18, 2012 in Martorano’s Restaurant in the Rio.


Once again Tony Sacca, the entertainment ambassador, has lined up the best entertainers to perform nightly, starting from 8 p.m. to closing. Tony Sacca will also be performing every night with the Saccettes. Tony is known for his outstanding service to our community and has a star on the “Las Vegas Walk of Stars” in front of New York-New York Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. Louie Anderson, the Grand Marshall, Rick Faugno, Dick Contino and John Garafalo to name a few will be entertaining the crowds. There will be several strolling muscians playing our favorite Italian songs too.


It is a definite must to bring the children so they can visit the petting zoo and ride the ponies.
