Fabulous is how I describe David
Perrico as the Musical Director with his 12 piece band and the talented
entertainers in Las Vegas. Outstanding was Michelle
Johnson and the Desert Angels Children’s Choir who touched and warmed
our hearts with the sound of their voices and the music.

Pia Zadora sang a few songs and it was good to
see her once again in the spotlight. Pia can be seen performing at Piero’s
every weekend. Video 044 http://youtu.be/rEVVVszH2mk

A real life couple, Jasmine
Trias and Ben Stone sang a beautiful duet on stage. Jasmine Trias was in
the final three of Season 3 of American Idol and met Ben Stone here in Las
Vegas. Ben is a singer, songwriter from Liverpool and a really good magician.
Robert Nash who is also known as the De Niro guy
read T’was the Night before Christmas and had the audience laughing throughout
the story. Robert Nash is a busy entertainer with his work with Mob Parties,
film and television and he is always on with the De Niro character and is a
friendly, funny guy.

John
Payne and Paul Shortino came on stage and said they were going
to go exceedingly retro and sang a beautiful rendition of “So this is Christmas”
and it was very touching and emotional. I love their rock and roll persona, but
this ballet showed the sweet gentle side of them.

Other Las Vegas legends came to entertain the crowd and
were received warmly. Comedian Steve
Rossi, Vince Neil of Motley Crue,rhythm
& blues singer Skye D. Miles and to close the show were Rob Garrett with the U.S. Marines on
stage singing Coming to America and our King, Trent Carlini as our ever loving Elvis.

All the toys were collected during October, November and
December and will be distributed to the needy children in Las Vegas next week.
Our thanks go out to the U.S.Marine Corps Reserve who accomplished their
mission once again in getting hundreds of toys for the children.
