Gordie brown las vegas reviews

After getting booted by the Venetian, followed by a brief spell at the V Theater, Gordie Brown has found a home again. He's settling in as the resident headliner at the Golden Nugget. A hotel that caters heavily to the AARP demographic, the Nugget seems to have found the right man for its showroom.

Even if Brown's humor leaves you mirthless (and it would help if he didn't laugh so much at his own jokes), it has to be admitted that most of the retiree-age crowd at a recent performance ate him up and would gladly have come back for more.

Possessor of an impressive baritone voice and unquenchable energy, Brown gives value for the money, doing a 105-minute show. He's backed by a five-piece band with whom he enjoys a playfully combative rapport.

In essence, Brown is Danny Gans with more contemporaneousness and without the self-pitying lachrymosity.

True, most of Brown's contemporary references seemed to miss their target audience -- like the Fine Young Gordie Brown - Show Reviews - Wizard of Vegas LOXIB
