The Orleans Showroom at the Orleans Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada was the site of a fantastic charity event on Sunday to raise money for the Nevada SPCA.  “Funny Bones” is the brainchild of Comedian Sammy Shore and featured performances by Tony Orlando, Rich Little, Zowie Bowie, “Shades of Sinatra” and many others who donated their time to this very worthy cause.

Celebrities including “Ghost Adventures” star Zak Bagans and Strip Performer Marc Savard were on-hand to walk the Red Carpet with some of the NSPCA’s adoptable “stars”. Producer Sirc Michaels and Lorie Palkow of “Evil Dead: The Musical” were also there to lend their support for this great event.

Raffles for donated items helped to raise additional funds for the charity and the audience was treated to a show like no other with music, comedy, dancing and more.  An anonymous donor was so moved by the event that they doubled all ticket and raffle sales to support the advanced medical care of the rescued animals!
