It was a standing room only crowd that gathered at the Bootlegger Bistro on Monday night, May 31, 2010, to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the very popular Las Vegas show, Kelly Clinton’s Open Mic Cabaret.
The date coincided with Memorial Day, a day of honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country. That event was acknowledged via a wonderful presentation by Clint Holmes of his musical video of Who Will Stand, an original song he co-wrote with Pat Caddick, and the title of a full-length documentary honoring the men and women of the military.
Next came a full-screen video presentation of the Many Faces of Kelly Clinton that showed Kelly Clinton performing many of the characters she has opened her weekly Cabaret show with over the past year. Last on the screen was a vision of Kelly's popular portrayal of Joe Joe Spaghetti Moretti, the Italian-American horn player who worked Vegas in the good old Rat Pack days. Then J.T. Thompson introduced the live Joe Joe, the very character Kelly Clinton opened with exactly one year ago when she launched her Open Mic Cabaret. It was the start of a great evening of entertainment and a big celebration of the one year mark of the always awesome Monday night Cabaret.
The photo story here shows highlights of that spectacular event. Among the list of entertainers who performed that night are Clint Holmes (Kelly’s husband), Kelly Clinton as Joe Joe, Mark Giovi, Reggie Brown, Lannie Counts, Dominick Allen, Jeff Neiman, Dennis Blair, Mark O’Toole, Kelly Clinton as Dorothy and Lena Prima as Scarecrow, Lorraine Hunt Bono, Kevin Turner, John Clinton, Annetta Bonner, Andrew Lopez and Cassie Finley-Jones, J.T.

Several of Kelly’s biggest fans including Jonathan Bollas and Dr. Warren Wheeler, Perry and Diane Paschall, and Bill Bane presented flowers and gifts to honor the star of the show. The fabulous anniversary cake was custom ordered by the Bootlegger and it was decorated with various photos of Kelly and her A-Team members taken over the past year.
All in all, the evening was a tremendous celebration of Kelly Clinton and all the phenomenal entertainers who have performed at Kelly Clinton’s Open Mic Cabaret over the past year. Here’s to the awesome entertainer Kelly Clinton, to the fabulous talent she welcomes to her open mic show every Monday night, to her A-Team members and to the Bootlegger Bistro for keeping “Vintage Vegas” going strong in the city known as the Entertainment Capital of the World.
