CRAZY GIRLS CELEBRATE SWEET 16 BIRTHDAY

`CRAZY GIRLS' CELEBRATES 16TH ANNIVERSARY AT LEGENDARY RIVIERA
`Las Vegas' Sexiest Topless Revue' is Strip's longest running cabaret
show

The "Crazy Girls" have been performing for 16 years to audiences at
the Riviera Hotel & Casino and have survived the good times and the
bad and now it's time to celebrate as one of Las Vegas' longest
running shows.

Karen Raider who danced in the show when it began 16 years ago at the
Riviera is now the manager of "Crazy Girls." She worked her way up to
line captain and company manager. She is backstage every night and
while the show is on the "Crazy Girls" are under her watchful eye.
She said, "The show now is better than ever. While many copy cat
shows having fallen by the wayside and investors have lost there
money we will be around for a long time to come." All the
original "Crazy Girls" have moved on but Karen. There have been over
100 "Crazy Girls" in the show although only eight at a time are
featured nightly.

"Crazy Girls" was originally $9.95 when it opened in September of
1987 and now it is $34.95 base price. They used to do 18 shows a week
and now do 6. It's an easier life for the professional dancers and
with one show a night they put their awe into it.

They're have been several hosts of the "Crazy Girls" over the years
including: comedian Max Alexander in the '80s and now history has
repeated itself with physical comedian Joe Trammel aka "The Man of
1,000 Faces" taking the microphone each night. Montel Williams' ex-
wife Bambi hosted the show around 1990 while Jahna Steele aka "Las
Vegas' Sexiest Showgirl" who turned out to be a transgender male
(John Steele from Texas) worked in Japan for nearly one year.
Comedians Pudgy and Carole Montgomery each hosted the show for three
years each. Jenna Jameson even hosted the show for a brief stint.

A nonstop procession of celebrities have visited "Crazy Girls" from
Magic Johnson who was caught up in one of the biggest scandals of his
career that ended up on the front page of the National Enquirer to
Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci, Martin Lawrence, Tom Jones and Roseanne.
There are well over 100 notables who have seen the show.

During the mid-'90s the "Crazy Girls" advertising shook up the City
Fathers and Sen. Bill O'Neal when the advertising campaign was a bit
too cheeky for them even though it won the prestigious Addy Award.
There foresight of Las Vegas becoming a family destination like
Orlando and Anaheim was clouded.

On Sept. 18th, the "Crazy Girls" celebrated the joint anniversaries
with a cake and dinner at Ruth's Chris in conjunction with "An
Evening at La Cage's" cast and star Frank Marino.

Joe Trammel aka "The Man of a Thousand Faces" is still waiting for
his big break on TV after missing "30 Seconds to Fame" and the Jerry
Lewis' MDA Telethon due to airlines woes. His new web sites are
gotlaughter.com and joetrammel.com. The Phoenix native offers
universal physical comedy that appeals to everyone. He said, "I love
working in `Crazy Girls' and do 15-18 minutes in each show. Watch for
Ricky Ricardo, Mike Tyson, Rocky and Jackie Chan in my act."

Show times for "Crazy Girls" are at 9 p.m. from Friday thru Wednesday
nights. The showroom is dark on Thursday nights. Tickets are $34.95
plus tax. For more information call the Riviera Box Office at (702)
794-9433 or (800) 634-3420. Check out the Riviera's web site at

Yea randy--i agree w/ you 100%... sometimes you just need to GO for it.

It's like baseball..... earlier this year i kept hesitating for three consec days.....Red Sox were comin to town & R. Martinez (and i KNEW which day he'd be 'up' in the rotation)......was gonna be a weekday game.

Finally i said 'heck with it' -- called in **** to work. (asterisks are to protect any prosecution from my place of work), LOL LOL.

And i saw the game---a really good game.

That's the funny thing about baseball.... ive never ever left the ballpark & said to myself 'gosh, i didnt have a good time---shoulda done something else'.
