A Tribute to Mr. Showmanship

This past Saturday I picked up Trent, Richard and Andy at New York New York Hotel and Casino. I told them I had a surprise show for them. We proceeded down Tropicana toward the east a few miles from the Strip to a place known as the Liberace Museum.

A dear friend named Wes Winters does an hour tribute show to Mr. Showmanship himself… Liberace. Wes is absolutely amazing at the piano and if you close your eyes and listen to him play you would swear Liberace was serenading you on the ebony and ivory!



Wes plays on the rhinestone grand piano, the last one Liberace ever played in concert at Radio City Music Hall. Against Liberace’s doctors wishes he had a few sold out performances and as frail and sick as he was, the show must go on and he played out all the shows he booked at Radio City Music Hall. The piano comes to life once again with Wes behind the keyboard with Fifi. You’ll have to check out the show if you want to see who fifi is!

Richard Cherry also plays the piano and he was totally mesmerized by Wes’s show. Andy who saw Liberace in concert as a young boy still remembers everything about that concert with Mr. Showmanship. Andy was thoroughly impressed and enjoyed the show. Trent was equally impressed and all three were glad we went to the show.

Thanks to Wes and Rod for the tickets and the bonus Wes threw in at the end. After the show a lady from the audience told Wes her favorite number is the medley from Phantom of the Opera. Wes said he’d be happy to play it so all of us stuck around and listened to the number. Thanks Wes for being an incredible performer and most of all for being a great friend.

Anyone visiting Vegas needs to see his 1 hour tribute show to Liberace. If you’re here on a Wednesday night you need to see his 3 hour Wes Winters show where he plays and sings songs from every period.
