Appropriately "Hail, Hail Rock 'n Roll" starring tribute artists of Jimi Hendrix, Tina Turner and Rockabilly Elvis at the Riviera Hotel & Casino and COMDEX badge holders are getting the deal of the rock 'n' roll era $10 plus tax per person.

Just show your COMDEX badge at the Riviera Box Office and ask for "Hail Hail Rock 'n' Roll" and you will pay only $10 plus tax which is about a 75 percent discount. Show times are 7 p.m. nightly and only Thursday is dark.
Producer Greg Steffani has rolled the prices back to when these tribute artists were at the height of their careers in the '60s and '70s when ticket prices were $10 for an intimate setting like the Crazy Girls Showroom. Their web site is hailhailrocknroll.com.

The Kentucky Rain band is the force behind such a show with real live singing and instruments in a day and age where shows are going to tape. The band has been performing together for the past two-and-a-half years. The band met in Laughlin, Nevada at that time and has been together ever since.
Rockabilly Elvis is still a teenager played by Dean Zeligman. His stage name is Dean Z. I impersonate Elvis in the '50s, which is the rockabilly Elvis. I'm 19 years old and also play Elwood Blues from The Blues Brothers. I do the basic hits from the 1950s like "Blue Suede Shoes," "Hound Dog," "All Shook Up," "Don't Be Cruel" and "Hearbreak Hotel." I'm a native of Lancaster, California and taught myself to play five instruments. I play guitar, bass, drums, harmonica and piano plus I sing too. I'm a video and graphic design editor too. He said, "My parents are very supportive and have been since I was three years old. We've played the Orleans in the lounge after Laughlin. I grew up my entire life doing the Elvis persona and I worked all the way thru grade school and high school doing shows all over America and three countries."

Daniel Zeligman is Jake Daniels on stage. He said, "I play Jake Blues and my brother is Elwood played by my brother Dean. I just turned 18 and have been doing this for three or four years. We do `Everybody Needs Somebody to Love,' `Soul Man' and much more from their R&B hits. These songs were from 1979-1981 when S&L did the skits. The movie was filmed in 1980 with Dan Akyrod and John Belushi. I want to thank my parents so much for letting me do this. It's really fun. I play four instruments - guitar, bass, drums and trumpet."

Tina Turner is played by Denita Asberry is also the stage manager, costumer and dance captain. Greg said, "She used to work in `Legends in Concert.' She sings `Proud Mary,' `River Deep, Mountain High' and `Simply the Best.'"
Byron Bordeax plays Jimi Hendrix. Greg said, "In the new show he will be playing guitar and singing `Fire,' `Watchtower,' `Voodoo Child' and `Foxy Lady.'
Pat "Banny" Bannister is one of the foremost bassists in America and other bass player enthusiasts come to see him play. He also plays regular guitar, drums and keyboards. He grew up in Bakersfield and knows Merle Haggard and Buck Owens. The drummer Jeff used to be Lyle Lovett's drummer.
