Jerry Seinfeld, Jeff Dunham at Caesars Palace; Derek and Julianne Hough dance show at Smith Center

Comedy is king this weekend with two major headliners bringing the laughs to Caesars Palace in a star-studded doubleheader. First up tonight is comedy ventriloquist Jeff Dunham and his sassy dolls Ahmed the Dead Terrorist, Jose Jalapeno on a Stick and crotchety curmudgeon Walter. Then the master of observational comedy, Jerry Seinfeld, takes over for two nights on Saturday.

Jeff told me: “ I love Celine Dion’s room but I miss the road part and doing giant arenas — so we do a little bit of both. My tour bus is my second home. It’s a drug to get the applause of six to 10,000 people in an arena.”

He then surprised me by revealing that he was adopted: “ I actually did the 23andMe thing with the DNA, and I discovered I’m mainly Irish and some Scottish. My current show is about family. It always reflects my own life so I’m doing a lot of jokes about family and heritage and where I came from and who was my real birth family. To this day I still do not know who he was. I’ve never known who my father is – or my mother. There’s a curiosity but really no interest. My adopted dad died earlier this year. It was pretty tough. He suffered with Parkinson’s — he couldn’t do anything for the past two years. Nothing. He couldn’t eat. He couldn’t stand up. He couldn’t do anything.

“It was about my background to see what that heritage was but also for the health of my children. You want to see what diseases are in your lineage and see if they’re going to have to look out for anything. I have three grown daughters now and two new 20-month-old baby boys. I’m back again at Caesars in September and then the road continues again — 10 days a month and the other 20 days I’m home. I have my tour bus and the 10 crew guys have their own bus — two 18-wheelers. It’s a full rock and roll production; we carry our own lights, sound staging, everything- including a 50-foot digital screen.”

Electric Daisy Carnival rocks on at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway throughout the weekend but the other excitement is with siblings Julianne and Derek Hough from Dancing with the Stars. Their tour, “Move Beyond Live,” is a sell-out at the Smith Center.

Their brand new stage production is inspired by the elements of earth, wind, fire and water, which they’ve infused into their high-impact choreography

So let’s set the fancy feet a-tapping and salsa our way into this week’s Royal Robin Rundown of new Vegas show attractions:
