Lots of our Strip headliners will join veteran Jerry Lewis for his annual Muscular Dystrophy telethon this weekend live from the SouthPoint casino resort. Tony Danza, now starring in “The Producers” at the Paris, has promised to sing, dance and tap while Lance Burton from the Monte Carlo will pull a few cards from up his sleeves! Zany Carrot Top and ventriloquist Ronn Lucas, both from the Luxor, will haul their wacky and outrageous props and dolls. Heavyweight comics George Wallace from the Flamingo and Louie Anderson from the Excalibur will both make appearances. Cast from Mamma Mia at Mandalay Bay, Ice from the Riviera and Matsuri at the Sahara will also donate their time as volunteers.

The show will open with the Flying Elvises on Sunday night, and before closing time on Monday afternoon you can see Caesars headliner, songbird Celine Dion make a rare on-camera appearance with a couple of songs from her upcoming November album. Jerry, despite his age and health, promises to be there from start to finish of the marathon with good pal Tony Orlando co-hosting from New York City.
