Vinnie Favorito

Now appearing at the Flamingo Hotel-Casino, Vinnie Favorito has become one of the most popular stand-up comics in Las Vegas. He started off at Binion's Casino in 1986 and has been taking stages downtown and along the Las Vegas Strip for decades. He draws upon his Italian heritage and life growing up in Boston to deliver a brand of improv humor that is as hilarious as it is rude.

There is no fixed routine at a Vinnie Favorito show, no notes or preplanned scripts. Every act is uniquely different, as the comedian plays it all by ear. Members of the audience are the butt of most of his jokes, and nobody is safe from his merciless chiding. If he seems familiar, it may be because he has appeared frequently on television, from Comedy Central to the Best Damn Sports Show Period and The Martin Short Show, and is considered to be one of the country's best "roasters."

Ticket prices are $54.95 for general admission and $64.95 plus tax and fees for VIP seating. Vinnie Favorito's shows are scheduled nightly at 8pm at Bugsy's Cabaret inside the Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel & Casino. The address is 3555 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109. Both free valet and self-parking are available.
