Danny Gans dies

Hi all,

Just heard some shocking news: impressionist Danny Gans, who was headlining at Steve Wynn's Encore, has passed away. He was 52 and is survived by his wife, Julie, and 3 children. There's not a lot of details about this story yet.

Many loved his show, and although not everyone was a fan and some thought ticket prices were a too high, there was no doubt that Danny loved entertaining in Las Vegas. He had become as much of an icon of Las Vegas as anyone. For many years, his image was pictured on the huge marque outside of the Mirage, where he was the headliner. He moved to Encore a few months ago after the new hotel/casino opened.

More later as this develops...

Mike
