This is the first UFC event I have covered. Today UFC 116 held an open workouts in the Marquee Ballroom at the MGM Grand Conference Center on in Las Vegas.

The event started at 12 noon and went till about 2pm.

The following fighters were featured during this light workout:
Brock Lesnar, Shane Carwin, Yoshihiro Akiyama, Chris Leben, Krzysztof Soszynski, Stephan Bonnar.

Chris Leben started the workout. He worked up a pretty good sweat as did most of the other fighters. Lesnar was the big draw, never even broke a sweat during todays open workout. He worked on the mat for about 3 minutes and went to the media box for questions. 

Here is a Photo Slide Show I Put Together:

The UFC 116 is Saturday Night July 3, 2010 at the MGM Grand at 7 PM.

If you are in town on Friday night, July 2, 2010 you may want to catch Tuff-N-Uff. The Future Stars of MMA.  

These are the up and coming UFC fighters. This is held at the Orleans Hotel Casino at 7PM.

It’s going to be an exciting weekend of Mixed Martial Arts!

See Ya Ringside,

Las Vegas News Blog – Robby LeBlanc Shares His Opinion
Re: Frank Marino’s Divas Show in Las Vegas…


The World’s Biggest and Most Outrageous Drag Show…
Starring Frank Marino as Joan Rivers and an All-Start Cast of Female Impersonators.

I moved to Las Vegas in 1997 and the Frank Marino show was one of the first shows I had heard about. At the time, the idea of seeing a Las Vegas Show starring an All -Star cast of Female Impersonators was not my idea of a good time. I had absolutely zero interest in seeing a show.

Fast forward 13 years! Boy have I changed!

I can’t believe I’ve been in this town over 13 years and never saw Frank Marino’s show, the longest running headline show in Las Vegas.

I now know why he has the longest running headline show in Las Vegas…
Frank Marino is BRILLIANT!

When a show opens, it should open with a big splash full of wow! For me, the wow wasn’t there in the opening act. I remember thinking, this is going to be a long night.

Then…Frank Marino took the stage…
All I can say is WOW!

From the moment Frank Marino started talking to his very last good night, he had my full attention.

The people at my table, laughed, cried, started to dance and laughed some more.

This is great Entertainment!

Frank Marino acts as the emcee Joan Rivers, and he introduces his famous friends to the stage. Including Britney Spears, Cher,  Diana Ross, Beyonce Madonna, Dolly Parton, Celine Dion and Liza Minelli…

Yes, they are ALL female impersonators! But as I saw them perform, I found myself getting lost into thinking these were the real performers! It was an incredible experience.

When Cher came on the stage the crowd went crazy. As we were watching Cher perform, all of us at the table kept thinking, that can’t be a man…

Then Frank Marino comes out and says to he crowd, ” I don’t know where he hides it either!” The crowd roared with laughter!

Frank is quick on his feet and goes through many elegant wardrobe changes.Yes, he gets a little raw and dirty, but he is as funny as anyone I have ever seen. My stomach hurt from laughing so much!

NO Photo’s Please…NOT!

Frank actually tells the crowd they can take photos!
This is the only show that I have ever seen in Las vegas in which they allow you to take photos during the show. No video, just photos…

Folks, if you have not seen Frank Marino, you owe it to yourself to go! This is entertainment at it’s best! Comedy, Music, a little Dancing and more Comedy!

The crowd gave them a well deserved standing ovation.

Think about it for a moment, what is the purpose of entertainment? The purpose of entertainment is to take audiences on an emotional journey that allows them to forget all the daily crap and problems going on in their lives.

If you are a serious church going, no swearring, no talking about sex type of person, the show may offend you a bit. Then again, if you are in Las Vegas, it’s ok to get a little naughty once a year. Go to confession and ask for forgivness.

For 75 Minutes, Frank Marino’s Diva’s Show will wisk you away on a fun filled excursion that will make you laugh, cry and tap your foot like there is no tomorrow.

I am so sorry I did’nt see his show 13 years ago…
I am now a HUGE Fan! You are Da Man Frank! Thank you for a great show!

 P.S .  In case you’re wondering…I don’t get paid a dime for referring you to his show. We went as a last minute invite and we are so glad we did!
