THE DUKES OF SEPTEMBER RHYTHM REVUE
Featuring Donald Fagen, Michael McDonald, & Boz Scaggs
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 2010
Tickets on-sale Saturday, July 24 at noon!
Las Vegas, NV (July 19) – GRAMMY Award-winning singer-songwriters Donald Fagen, Michael McDonald and Boz Scaggs are uniting this summer and fall to tour as “The Dukes of September Rhythm Revue,” and will bring their unique show to The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on Saturday, October 2. The three hit-making artists have assembled a stellar band for the occasion, and will bring the best of their mix of blue-eyed soul, rock, jazz and R&B to the stage in a series of collaborative concerts. Tickets go on sale this Saturday at noon.
Donald Fagen explains the genesis of the tour, “Back in the early 90s, my wife (Libby Titus) was producing little shows in Manhattan restaurants featuring mostly friends - musicians, comedians and so on. This grew into ‘The New York Rock & Soul Revue’ which toured nationally for two years and produced an album, Live at the Beacon Theater. The 1993 show featured, among others, Mike McDonald, Boz Scaggs and myself. The shows were such a blast that we decided to tour together again this year as the mighty ‘Dukes of September.’ We'll be playing the kind of R&B tunes that made us want to be musicians way back when, as well as select numbers from our personal repertoires. We've enlisted a swell group of players and singers - in fact, I'm so excited that I just can't hide it. Be there or be square, chillin'.”
With this year’s “The Dukes of September Rhythm Revue,” Fagen, McDonald and Scaggs are giving fans an unprecedented opportunity to hear them delve deep into their individual classic catalogs of music, along with selected hits and tributes to their influences accompanied by a crack group of top players including Jon Herington (guitar); Freddie Washington (bass); Michael White (drums); Michael Leonhart, Walt Weiskopf and Jay Collins (horns); Jim Beard (organ); plus background singers Carolyn Escoffery and Catherine Russel.

Fright Dome at Circus Circus Partners with Lionsgate® and Twisted Pictures
for Second Year to Create Ultimate Haunted Attraction
Two all new haunted houses themed after the legendary SAW horror franchise
and popular horror film MY BLOODY VALENTINE.
LAS VEGAS – July 14, 2010 – It’s time to play a game….. Fright Dome takes over The Adventuredome at Circus Circus beginning Friday, Oct. 1. For the second year, Fright Dome will partner with Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures to theme SAW, one of its five haunted houses. Additionally, Lionsgate’s MY BLOODY VALENTINE will reveal its horror house this fall. This season Fright Dome is guaranteed to terrify even the bravest of visitors with all new themes and scare zones.
Fright Dome’s houses bring together plots from various installments of the legendary horror movie franchise SAW, and the newly added popular horror film, MY BLOODY VALENTINE. Interactive, handcrafted replicas of the “games” set by Jigsaw in the popular SAW saga will be among the many things guests have to look forward to this year. MY BLOODY VALENTINE is currently out on DVD and Lionsgate is expected to release SAW 3D nationwide this Halloween.
“We’ve always had one of the top haunted attractions in the nation and partnering with Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures for a second year will make it bigger and better than ever,” said Jason Egan, owner and creator of Fright Dome. “The SAW and MY BLOODY VALENTINE films cut to the core of human fear and we’re exploiting that to its fullest potential.”
“We are honored for SAW to be a part of Fright Dome for the second year in a row, and eagerly anticipate the reveal of the MY BLOODY VALENTINE haunted house. With the seventh installment of SAW slated to be released this Halloween in 3-D, fans will be immersed in SAW like never before, both through the 3D theatrical experience and in Fright Dome. We are excited to bring the characters and settings of both movie going experiences to the Las Vegas market place, where people from all over the word can take part in the horror,” added President of Acquisitions and Co-Productions Jason Constantine.
Egan adds to the excitement and terror of Fright Dome this year by adding three of the world’s most notorious and macabre magicians in the all-new “Show of Magic & Horror.” Guests can enjoy a combination of shock, illusion, unsettling conjuring and non-stop mayhem from Dixie Dooley, Kevin James and Dan Sperry. Dark and fog-filled, Fright Dome sets a chilling atmosphere with roaming characters, high-powered strobes, multi-colored lasers and five acres of fright made up of all new extreme scare zones, rides, attractions and five haunted houses. No place left unhaunted, demons will descend from the ceiling as guests walk underneath.
“The Adventuredome and Fright Dome partnership has exceeded our expectations and continues to be one of the must-see, haunted attractions in the country year after year,” said Don Thrasher, president and chief operating officer of Circus Circus.
Fright Dome is open from 7 p.m. to midnight Oct. 1-31 on select nights. General admission tickets are $34.95 and fast pass tickets are available for an additional $15 which allow express line entry for all five haunted houses.
