Rio Las Vegas was the setting for the 2015 “Headliners Bash” to benefit local nonprofit Win-Win Entertainment, an organization dedicated to connection great causes with Las Vegas entertainers.<\/p>\n

\"Headliners
They did a bash. It was a monster bash.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Win-Win Entertainment was started by our buddy Jeff Civillico<\/a>, star of Comedy in Action<\/a> at Flamingo Las Vegas. Civillico’s comedy-juggling show recently re-located from the Linq Hotel & Casino.<\/p>\n

\"Jeff
Jeff Civillico can’t not be Jeff Civillico. Oh, and never let him anywhere near your ladder or unicycle. Just saying.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At the Rio, a cavalcade of Las Vegas entertainers performed to help raise funds for Win-Win Entertainment. Not coincidentally, Win-Win works behind the scenes to match Las Vegas performers to help nonprofits raise funds. Ah, the circularity of the universe.<\/p>\n

\"Headliners
If Penn Jillette loses any more weight, people are going to mistake him for a swizzle stick. And atheist swizzle stick. Which should actually be a thing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The “Headliners Bash” included an appearance by Penn & Teller (the event was held in their theater, after all), the very talented Martin Kaye of “Million Dollar Quartet” (Kaye portrays Jerry Lee Lewis) at Harrah’s Las Vegas, Travis Cloer of “Jersey Boys” at Paris Las Vegas, Britney Spears impersonator Derrick Barry of “Divas Las Vegas” at the Linq (below, center) and magician Mat Franco, also of the Linq.<\/p>\n

\"Derrick
For the record, Derrick Barry of “Divas Las Vegas” is not only sexier than the actual Britney Spears, he’s also a bajillion percent better at dancing. Ballpark.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Comic Matt Kazam got onto our radar with a strong stand-up set.<\/p>\n

He most recently performed at the now-closed Riviera, but announced he’ll soon have a new gig at Treasure Island. No, not behind the counter at the CVS, smart aleck. Rude.<\/p>\n

\"Matt
We’ll be checking out your show at Treasure Island, Matt. No pressure.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The cast of the “The Rat Pack Is Back” of Tuscany Suites also appeared at the event. They were easily the best Rat Pack tribute group we’ve seen that neither looks or sounds like anyone even remotely related to the Rat Pack. Then again, charity!<\/p>\n

One of our favorite tribute shows, Excalibur’s Australian Bee Gees<\/a>, closed out the show as they do in their own showroom, by getting everyone on their feet, dancing to crowd-pleasing disco hits.<\/p>\n

\"Australian
This isn’t the Bee Gee we remember from the show, but he nailed it, anyway.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The “Headliners Bash” was a wonderful reminder that Las Vegas truly has a big heart. These entertainers devote countless hours to worthy nonprofits, and that generosity creates a ripple effect across the city.<\/p>\n

\"Bee
Another of the Bee Gees. They’re all our favorite, mainly because we can never keep track of who’s who.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We realize we can’t not share a photo of the third Bee Gee, given how many of this blog’s readers have OCD.<\/p>\n

\"Bee
He actually plays his instrument. And in this very specific instance, we don’t mean that as a euphemism.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At the heart of the Win-Win Entertainment effort is Jeff Civillico, who we consider our best friend, but mainly because he makes everyone feel like they’re his best friend.<\/p>\n

In all seriousness, Civillico works tirelessly to help the community, and we applaud his efforts and those of his Win-Win Entertainment family.<\/p>\n

All right, enough with the seriousness.<\/p>\n

\"Jeff
Jeff, seriously, you thought we’d let this slide? Your giant mug is on the cocktail tables. And yet we still like you. Go figure.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Oh, and Jeff’s show at Flamingo is one of the funniest, most entertaining family-friendly shows in Las Vegas, and we’re not just saying that because he’s a friend. Probably.<\/p>\n

\"Jeff
Like we said, Jeff can’t not Jeff, and that’s just one of the reasons we love him.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Full disclosure: We personally were, at one time, on the Win-Win Entertainment Board of Directors. Unfortunately, we were unable to continue with the organization because of our snark and security breaching commitments.<\/p>\n
