Las Vegas Roundup – 2008
Just for Fun and Fellowship!
"We absolutely insist on enjoying life." Therefore, we've arranged some 'Sober Fun' activities during the Roundup. Only in Vegas, baby...
At the Roundup
Celebrity Roast — Join us at 4pm on Friday for an old-fashioned celebrity roast. This year old-timer Dick T will be honored. According to Wikipedia, a roast "is an event in which an individual is subject to publicly bearing comedic insults, praise, outlandish true and untrue stories and heartwarming tributes. The implication being that the roastee is able to take the jokes in good faith and as not being serious criticism or insult, and therefore showing their good nature. It is seen as a great honor to be roasted, as the individual is surrounded by friends, fans, and well-wishers, who can receive some of the same treatment as well during the course of the evening."
Stars On 45 — Shake Your Booty Saturday Night! STARS ON 45 is an extremely versatile group of musicians and singers who hit the charts worldwide with their trend setting sound-alike dance medleys of the '80's and '90's. They are best known for their 1981 smash hit "Beatles' Medley", which topped the charts in every major international market, and their uncanny ability to sound like the legendary artists of pop music. SATURDAY NIGHT ONLY!
All American DJ — Back by popular demand! These guys know how to get the party started… with Classics, Oldies, Disco, New Wave, R&B, Country, Dance Club, Latin, and more. Party with us on THURSDAY and FRIDAY EVENING, and have more fun than than you ever did back in 'the day', because you'll be sober!
