Tonight’s Tip: Brian Wilson at Star of the Desert

By Robin Leach

Brian Wilson brings his musical genius to Primm.

*Former Beach Boys lead singer and founder Brian Wilson performs a rare solo concert with his unique vocal sounds of musical perfection. Even though he’s way off-Strip down the I-15 at the Star of the Desert concert venue in Primm Valley he’s definitely worth that 25-minute drive south of the Strip. Brian battled a long bout of deep psychological problems, but his genius won out and he re-emerged with all of yesteryear’s talent intact -- and even better.

*Irreverent, cocky and brash! That’s how Cracker has described itself and the alternative rock darlings with David Lowery and Johnny Hickman have a history of 17 years, eight albums, four gold records and tours in 21 countries. They bring their Camp Soul performances into Carey Hart’s new Wasted Space club at the Hard Rock Hotel.

*Comedian Dennis Blair opens a six-night run at the famous Improv Comedy Club at Harrah’s with fellow stand-up comics Don Barnhart and Tiffany Haddis.

TOMORROW'S TEASE: Just who has pop-music hero Justin Timberlake started lining up for his big charity concert here next month? Luxe Life has the answers – and a shocking revelation about a major New Years Eve problem that might badly affect our already struggling economic picture.
