Circus Vargas will spread some holiday cheer to families affected by the recession as it brings big-top entertainment to the Valley beginning Thursday.

The circus troupe is giving away 1,000 tickets to unemployed Las Vegans and their children for its 4 p.m. show at the Rio hotel-casino on Thanksgiving Day. Circus Vargas President Nelson Quiroga says the company wanted to show its appreciation for 40-plus years of fan support.
