headliner meet & greets


One of my two trips per year to Las Vegas is coming up and I am looking into seeing some shows. When ever its feasible, I like to do meet and greets with these shows .
I have seen Holly Madison at the Planet Hollywood casino (peep show) and Donnie & Marie at the Flamingo, is there any other headliner type meet and greets in Las Vegas that I can check into and possibly see?
Although he is no longer playing in Las Vegas, I heard Barry Manilow charged $100 for a meet and greet and then gave the profits to a musical charity.
What are the chances of seeing Wayne newton these days, not for a show, more for an autograph and picture?
I am not counting reality shows (Pawn stars, Ricks restorations, etc.---I've seen them.

If you have a host at the show's hotel, they will set it up. Over the years, my wife has met David Copperfield,George Carlin, Rodney Dangerfield, Wayne Newton, Don Henley, Toni Braxton, Julio Iglesias, Siegfried and Roy, and Wayne Brady. She and our daughter also got to meet the casts of Mysere, Phantom, Mama Mia. The one guy I REALLY wanted to meet, and I couldn't would have been ELVIS--LONG LIVE THE KING!
Penn&Teller will meet with anyone from the audience after the show for a picture, no charge. My wife and I passed. The only big celeb I've ever had a picture taken with is Garth Brooks. We were visiting OK, where her sister and family lived(near Owasso), the niece was playing youth soccer and happened be against one of his daughter's team. He was just another soccer dad, jeans and sweatshirt, old SUV. Great guy, he talked with us a few minutes and we got the photo with him in the middle, arm around each one of us.
Penn and Teller!!! Perfect!!!

I just looked at the Flamingo's web site and found that Olivia Newton John has a 45 day engagement there. She also has a special meet and greet ticket for $260. I will wait to hear reviews on the show before I jump off any bridges with this one as $260 sounds kind of expensive for her show & meet and greet.. What do you think?

The only meet and greet I ever went to...probably because I'm not really into the entertainment scene...prefer sports much better...was Regis Philbin at the Golden Nugget...comped by the way.

Regis and I went to the same high school...Cardinal Hayes in the Bronx...although years apart. I greeted him with the phrase used by all alumni...UP HAYES AND ALL ITS LOYAL MEN! We then chatted briefly.

When Regis was on "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader" his charity was Cardinal Hayes and he won a good amount...I forget exactly how much.

went to a meet and Greet with Gretchen Wilson...Only people she allowed near her were children.
