Trevor Noah, the extremely funny host of “The Daily Show,” will make his ‘Aces of Comedy’ debut at The Mirage Hotel & Casino January 20 – 21, 2017 at 10 p.m. Noah, who replaced Jon Stewart in September 2015 on the Comedy Central Show, will entertain audiences with his signature blend of global perspective and cool-guy comedy — and probably cry a little about the election, as he has for a while.

Tickets priced at $49.99, $59.99 and $69.99, plus service charges, are now on sale. Tickets can be purchased at the Terry Fator box office, online at The Mirage Hotel & Casino or ticketmaster.com, or by calling (800) 963-9634 or (702) 792-7777.

Born in South Africa, Noah is quickly going from being the most successful comedian in Africa to being one of the most successful comedians in the world. Before joining “The Daily Show” as a contributor in 2014, Noah cemented himself as a force in South African entertainment. He hosted numerous television shows in his home country, including two seasons of his own late-night talk show “Tonight with Trevor Noah.”

He made his U.S. television debut in 2012 on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” becoming the first South African stand-up comedian to appear on the program.

Last year, Noah premiered his one-hour stand-up special, “Trevor: Lost in Translation,” to rave reviews.

On Tuesday, November 15, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., The Mob Museum, The National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement, will commemorate the anniversary of the Kefauver Committee hearing, which took place in its building on November 15, 1950, by offering free admission during regular operating hours for Nevada residents. Non-Nevada residents will receive buy-one, get-one admission that day. Kefauver Day at The Mob Museum is sponsored by Zappos.

Kefauver Day at The Mob Museum is held each year to raise awareness of the significance of the U.S. Senate Special Committee to Investigate Organized Crime in Interstate Commerce. Launched by U.S. Senator Estes Kefauver, the outcome of these hearings played a pivotal role in advancing the nation’s fight against organized crime, as well as the development of Las Vegas as the nation’s gaming capital.

Among the Museum’s artifacts related to Sen. Kefauver are coonskin cap, gavel and briefcase, all of which are on loan from the University of Tennessee Libraries, Knoxville, Special Collections. Sen. Kefauver first adopted a coonskin hat as a trademark during his 1948 campaign for election to the U.S. Senate. He continued to use the coonskin cap as a trademark throughout his political career which included unsuccessful campaigns for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1952 and 1956 and an unsuccessful campaign for the vice presidency as Adlai Stevenson’s running mate in 1956. All three objects, along with others related to the hearings, are on display in the Kefauver Room, located just outside the Museum’s historic courtroom where the Las Vegas Kefauver Committee hearing took place.

WHEN:
Tuesday, November 15
9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

COST:

• FREE admission for Nevada residents.

Old Dominion

Proving that they are not your average country band, Old Dominion lend old-fashioned country charm, lyrical wit and rock n’ roll grit into radio-friendly hook-heavy pop nuggets. Old Dominion has emerged as one of the hottest breaking bands in country music, fusing clever lyrics and an infectious sound. The band released their first full-length album Meat and Candy, which Entertainment Weekly called a “deceptively smart, occasionally cheeky, stellar debut.” Old Dominion released their platinum two-week No.1“Break Up With Him” and RIAA certified gold hit “Snapback” prior to their third single “Song For Another Time,” which is climbing the charts now. They spent their summer on Kenny Chesney’s Spread The Love Tour and will headline their Meat and Candy Fall Tour, beginning Sept. 22, with 15 of the dates tapped as Stagecoach Spotlight: Old Dominion Meat and Candy Tour; the first-ever tour produced by the award-winning Stagecoach Music Festival. The ACM and ACCA Breakthrough Duo/Group of the Year are also nominated for two CMA Awards: Best New Artist and Vocal Group of the Year. Old Dominion consists of lead singer Matthew Ramsey, lead guitarist Brad Tursi, multi-instrumentalist Trevor Rosen, bassist Geoff Sprung and drummer Whit Sellers.

Sawyer Brown
With more than three decades of creating 50+ chart singles including country smash hits like “Some Girls Do,” “Step That Step,” “Thank God For You,” and their most recent single “We Got the Night,” Sawyer Brown is always on the move – on the road, on stage, and in their career. Having been described as “the Rolling Stones of Country Music,” Sawyer Brown bounds onto the stage night after night, delivering its own unique brand of high-energy entertainment, and the band remains a perennial favorite at fairs, festivals, theatres, and casinos. After twenty-three albums, 50+ chart singles, CMA, ACM, and CMT awards on the shelf, more than 4,500 shows and counting, and more than a million miles behind them, Sawyer Brown is still seeing the highway miles click by outside their bus window.
