I only "really" started going to Vegas regularly about 6 years ago and at that time I always wondered who this Danny Gans guy was who was apparently the entertainer of the year. I used to chuckle at the billboards every time I passed them. Then after a few years, I found that that I really enjoyed Vegas for more than the obvious strip/casinos, I started trying to learn about what made Las Vegas, "Vegas". I was surprised at how Danny Gans got started, his movement from pro sports to NY and then to Vegas and his example to all in something that is not synonymous with Vegas, ethics. Unfortunately his show was always one that I was going to hit my next trip and now that it was at the Encore I really had decided to hit it up on my next trip. Too sad. Danny, you really were a part of “my” Vegas. Hopefully, I'll be able to catch your show on the other side.
