This week The Strip does its part to help with Haiti Relief. Make a difference while still enjoying a great night out.
It is true that sometimes laughter is the best medicine. Monday, Feb. 1 The Comedy Store and UNICEF present a very special evening to benefit the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. Scheduled to appear: Sam Tripoli, Tom Arnold, Duncan Trusselland and Jeff Garlin. The great thing about The Store, especially with these types of benefit shows, you never know what A-list talents will drop in for a quick guest appearance. Doors open at 7 p.m. and all box office proceeds for this show will be donated to UNICEF. Tickets are $10. The Comedy Store is ages 21+. www.thecomedystore.com
You’ve heard all the stories, now get the facts. Tuesday, Feb. 2 the Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne will sign copies of his new memoir I Am Ozzy at Book Soup. We all know how much Ozzy loves The Strip, and just months off his headlining performance at the Sunset Strip Music Festival it is a perfect fit this rock n’ roll icon would have a book signing here. This event begins at 7 p.m. Note: Ozzy will only be signing copies of I Am Ozzy. www.booksoup.com

Hi Sophia here, I am a student of cissp. Obtaining board simple search to find your site. I feel really nice to read especially in this article. It is very informative. All articles on your website are very informative and increase knowledge of many. However, this site plays a very important role in improving our new generation for the good work .... keep it up
This is surely very terrific! I heard this information from cablevision and I thought I'll drop by sometime in this cozy looking establishment. It looks nice and relaxing to dine in this kind of room ambiance. Perhaps, I'll drop by with my family sometime soon and try the menu.
Yee haw – its Fat Tuesday. Yes, the Saints won the Super Bowl, and yay for them, but it's the beginning of Mardi gras. For most people, it means getting incredibly drunk in New Orleans. Let me explain something – Mardi Gras is the French version of a European tradition, or the observance of Shrove Tuesday, a celebration before Ash Wednesday and the observance of Lent. Also, these are the days wherein we look about our culture and traditions plus time to relax and give time for the family.
