Rolling Pins & Dough in Vegas

There are loads of shows going on in Vegas – illusionists, magicians, circus performers and other live performers. If you’ve ever been in Sin City, then you know that each establishment has its very own appeal. Whether it’s the MGM Grand, the Bellagio, the Mirage or the Luxor, you’re going to be enjoying world-class action and more than your fair share of laughs. One particular comedian who always puts on a good show is the inimitable Carrot Top. We all know this dude. Sure he’s crass, vulgar and loud-mouthed – but his humor is incisive and certainly worth a peak. So the other night I decided to head on over to his show (I’ve seen it before but it’s always worth a laugh).

Old Carrot Top talks the talk and walks the walk. He’s all about having a drink – with AC/DC thundering on in the background, or he’s about absurd dress codes and outlandish hairstyles. Or phallic symbols aplenty and yes – that cutting commentary that makes up his peculiar brand of humor. Props are his thing – lots of them. The show starts off at like $59.95 a pop and reservations are certainly recommended. But I’m not going to give too much away here. Suffice it to say that there are some pretty famous Carrot Top one-liners/quotes:

• People do give me a hard time about my hair because it's orange and it's big.
• The blessing is that everyone knows who I am because of the commercials.
• When I told my friends I was going to be a comedian, they laughed at me.

In the spirit of redhead jokes, I’d like to lay a couple on the line right here.

Answer. She has scratched "Stay away from my man" on his back with her finger nails.

Question: What do you call a redhead with an attitude?
Answer: Absolutely normal.

Join me next week here on 777.com for another dose of gaming-related comedy and good times. Blackjack is my game, but I’ll tell you something - it’s the folks at the casinos who make all of this really worthwhile. Until then, take it easy and game with a smile.
