The 2013

many of the honorees were there to celebrate and party. Once a year readers are
asked to vote for their favorites in categories from the best restaurants,
shows, casinos, entertainers and more.
Chet Buchanan of 98.5 KLUC’s Chet Buchanan and the
Morning Zoo was on hand to host the event, along with Travis Keyes, Greenspun Media Group Publisher and Sarah Feldberg, Las Vegas Weekly Editor
who personally congratulated all the winners.

I was glad
to see that the show Absinthe won
for the best production show to bring visitors to. I was one of the first
people to see Absinthe when it first came to the Caesars Tent, at Caesars
Palace in Vegas, and from the first time I saw it, to the last time I attended,
I thought it was fabulous and I absolutely love the Gazillionaire and Penny
Pibbets.
Naya Simone won for “Drag Queen We Love” and she certainly deserves the award. I love
Maya Simone who I first met a few years ago when she starred in the Drag Queen
Cabaret Show at Lucky Cheng’s in Las Vegas. She is an outstanding personality
and you can see Maya in the show “Match Game” at Drink & Drag
downtown.

Another
outstanding character was Sir Gaga,
who in real life answers to the name of Gary Fisher. Gary was kept busy taking
pictures with everyone in Stoney’s. He was dressed up with loads of jewelry,
feathers, beads, scarves, tight spandex leggings, lots of glitter and you name
it, he was wearing it. He looked like a walking department store.

Seen
partying with the best of the best winners was John Payne who is one of the stars of the hit show “Raiding the Rock Vault” at the LVH
Hotel and Casino. It is a fabulous two hour rock concert that keeps the
audience clapping, singing and on their feet. John Payne is the co-producer and
musical director of the show. These amazing musicians were all former members
of some of the best bands.

It was a fun
night and I love the Weekly Magazine which I say is the best weekly publication
in Las Vegas that keeps Las Vegas informed and entertained.
