As an editor and a shameless Bostonian myself, I must fondly admit that I have never received so many emails from visitors who have made it a point to see a Las Vegas comic twice in their one-week stay, as with Vinnie Favorito at the Flamingo.  This Beantown bomber’s show is in-your-face, unscripted and certainly not for the faint of heart.  He has recently announced that he will stay on for an additional three years in Las Vegas -- a sure sign that the show is flourishing.
 
“Anyone coming to Vinnie’s show should check their humility at the door, no one and no topic is off limits in his theater,” said Don Marrandino, President of Flamingo Las Vegas. “Vinnie never does the same show twice and audience members will never forget their turn in the hot seat, it's a wild show.”
 
Vinnie Favorito has been making audiences laugh along the Las Vegas Strip for more than 10 years and is well known for his celebrity roasting. With quick-witted insults and outstanding improvisational skills, Favorito has roasted many well-known celebrities including Jerry Springer, Pat O’Brien, Larry Flynt and Magic Johnson.

“Performing at the Flamingo has been an awesome experience and I couldn’t ask for more,” said Favorito. “People pay me to insult them and I even get my own parking space! Life is good.”
 
Favorito performs inside the intimate 220-seat Bugsy’s Cabaret, nightly at 8 p.m. Tickets are $49.95 and $39.95 (plus tax and fees).  Show tickets can be purchased at the Flamingo Las Vegas box office, by phone at (702) 733-3333 or visit www.flamingolas
