Engelbert The Engaging

In our quest to cover all the classic old-timers of Vegas lore, one
fixture we hadn’t yet caught up with was Englebert Humperdinck, the
British chart-topper who was first brought to the Strip in 1968 by
none other than Dean Martin. Humperdinck, now 73, talks about
everything from Liberace to Lambert, recalls Howard Stern's playing
with his hair, explains why James Blunt fits in the canon with
Clapton and McCartney and discusses the fact that his rival, Tom
Jones, has received a knighthood while he has not. Humperdinck
performs in Vegas at the Orleans on June 11-14 playing his hits as
well as the contemporary pop songs he covered in his 2007 album,
“The Winding Road.” In Banter: Danny Gans’ cause of death, the
Cinevegas passes contest winner, the future of the TI, Steve’s show
spree, changes at Peepshow, Robuchon’s odd discount and the
Chippendales do Paris. Blog: VegasHappensHere.Com Phone:
