Trust Us

Laugh out loud. Opening strong, carrying on. Seems six weeks just wasn’t enough to get her fill, as Roseanne Barr’s All You Can Eat Comedy, originally scheduled to wind down at New York-New York this weekend in all its religion-questioning, sitcom-satirizing, Domestic-Goddess glory, just announced an extended run until June 17. Fridays through Tuesdays at 8 p.m., $49.95, 866-606-7111. Meanwhile, beginning an indefinite Wednesday-through-Sunday stint at Hooters Casino’s Night Owl Showroom is Bobby Slayton. Know why they call him the Pitbull of Comedy? It’s not because his politically incorrect bark is equally as vicious as his agony-of-marriage bite. It’s because he’s got fleas. You heard it here first. 8 and 10 p.m., $36.95, 866-584-6687.

Take in a classic. Who is Charlie Brown? Well, despite being one of the most popular character icons from the 20th century, Brown in a way represents something inside us all: a strange but honest love of the imaginary mixed with the brutal sting of a cynical reality. Relive this childlike journey of the world with the Nevada Conservatory Theater’s musical rendition of You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown, appearing at the Judy Bayley Theatre through May 5.

Peel your clothes off. At the risk of being branded looky-loos and sketchy stalkers, we must admit that we are totally stoked about the grand opening of the fourth season of Rehab. The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino’s poolside flesh-fest kicks off April 29 at 11 a.m. And features a live performance by hip-hop artist Akon. Can you handle it?

Imagine. WWE Champion John Cena in a fatal four-way match with Edge, Randy Orton and Shawn Michaels, free to watch, on two large screens, with a full bar nearby, the splendid company of beautiful women—all naked, of course—and the freedom to smoke indoors throughout it all. In other words, a man can satisfy all his vices on April 29 at Olympic Garden, where locals get in for free and the 2007 pay-per-view Backlash event begins at 5 p.m.

Release a memorial lepidopteran. According to Native American lore, if you whisper your heart’s desire to a butterfly, it will deliver the message to the Great Spirit. On April 29 at 2 p.m., Nathan Adelson Hospice hosts a live butterfly release in honor of loved ones lost, at Hills Park in Summerlin, 9000 Hillpointe Road. The cost per butterfly is $25; funds raised go to the hospice. Picnics welcome. To reserve a butterfly call 938-3959 or e-mail [email protected].

Get loud. A child of Stomp, the wild, percussive musical performance show noted for turning just about every type of metallic piece of junk into a musical instrument, Stomp Out Loud (now performing nightly at the Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino) brings the same imaginative and utterly amazing talents that made Stomp a hit and puts them right on the Strip. Check this out before the Blue Man Group shakes down for rollin’ into their turf. Info: 877-307-8667.
