Spend a special night this Valentine’s Day with “America’s Got Talent” winner Neal E. Boyd & Friends at the Las Vegas Hilton. The unlikeliest of superstars, Boyd won the hearts and votes of millions of fans with his big, operatic voice when he appeared as a contestant on the wildly popular NBC show “America’s Got Talent.” For one night only, on Sunday, Feb. 14 at 8 p.m., he’s bringing that voice along with a handful of talented friends to Las Vegas.
“Las Vegas is filled with such unbelievable talent from singers and dancers to comedians and impressionists,” said Boyd. “I’m honored to be a part of such an elite group of performers and excited to share this unique show of opera, impressions, singing and comedy with Las Vegas audiences.”
Fans who loved his “America’s Got Talent” renditions of such selections as “Nessun Dorma,” “Ave Maria” and “Somewhere” from the Broadway classic West Side Story, will undoubtedly be thrilled to hear Boyd perform those and many more live and backed by a full orchestra.
Boyd will be joined by friends and fellow “America’s Got Talent” alums runner-up Eli Mattson and finalist Queen Emily.
Hailed comedian Steve Bridges, known for his spot-on political impressions, will round out the evening of entertainment as “The President.” Utilizing state-of-the-art prosthetic make-up, Bridges completely transforms into President Barack Obama – only this version is a whole lot more fun.
Bridges’ amazing talent and unmistakable impression of President Bush earned the comedian an exclusive contract with The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Most recently he has been seen on the Today Show, Good Morning America and Inside Politics. The segments were so popular and far reaching that Bridges found himself performing next to the former President inside the Oval Office and now, his newest impression of President Obama has landed him in the “Entertainment Capital of the World,” Las Vegas.
Neal E. Boyd & Friends will perform for one night only, on February 14, 2010. The show begins at 8 p.m. and ticket prices, exclusive of handling fees, range from $49 to $89. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Las Vegas Hilton Box Office at 800-222-5361 or online at www.Vegas.com.

| International Superstar Lionel Richie To Perform At The Colosseum At Caesars Palace March 26 – 27
10 hours 32 minutes agoInternational music icon Lionel Richie will bring his four decades of chart topping hits to The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on Friday, March 26 and Saturday, March 27.
One of the most distinctive and instantly recognizable voices in music, Richie is excited to introduce fans to songs from his new album JUST GO which is a remarkable music marriage of his timeless style and a collection of contemporary material.
Show date & time: Friday, March 26 and Saturday March 27. Showtime is 8 p.m.
As co-founder of The Commodores in 1967, Lionel Richie experienced his first taste of success after the group signed to Motown Records in 1971, becoming one of the most popular U.S. funk bands with “Machine Gun” and “Brick House” before creating a slew of future slow jam Richie-penned classics with “Easy,” “Three Times a Lady” and “Sail On.” Richie began working outside the Commodores in 1980, working with such names as Kenny Rogers, Diana Ross, and other popular music acts of the 1980s.
In 1982, the release of his self-titled solo quadruple platinum Motown debut set Lionel on a record-breaking pathway to global superstardom: 1983’s ten-million-selling “Can’t Slow Down” — which won a Grammy for Album of the Year – was followed by 1986’s massively-successful “Dancing on the Ceiling.” After a period of reflection and personal growth, Lionel returned in 1992 with BACK TO FRONT, followed by 1996’s LOUDER THAN WORDS, 1998’s TIME, 2001’s RENAISSANCE, 2003’s ENCORE, the aptly-titled THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION, a worldwide multi-million-selling retrospective, 2004’s JUST FOR YOU, and 2006’s COMING HOME. JUST GO, Richie’s most recent project, is an album with a decided musical twist and has Lionel working with today’s hottest hitmakers – Tricky Stewart & The Dream, Stargate, and Akon – to show that great talent is always timeless.
