It’s a once-a-year showbiz extravaganza packed with performers from nearly every show on The Strip. The Golden Rainbow presents its 24th annual Ribbon of Life fundraising production at 1 p.m. Sunday at the Las Vegas Hilton theater.

Yesterday was dress rehearsals, and our contributing photographer Tom Donoghue was invited to shoot for Vegas DeLuxe. Performers from Jubilee!, Viva Elvis, Peepshow, Phantom -- the Las Vegas Spectacular, Jersey Boys, Zumanity, Le Reve, Ka and Love are all taking part, and even more cast members are joining daily in the effort.

Everyone participating in Ribbon of Life donates their time and talent to the show for the Las Vegas-based HIV/AIDS charity. ROL is all original content that can’t be seen elsewhere -- and only for this one-time event.

The production features hundreds of singers, dancers and performers in a breathless theatrical event for audiences of all ages cheering for more.

Tickets are $25 to $200 and are available at GoldenRainbow.org or at the Las Vegas Hilton box office. Please support this extraordinary effort.
