What better way to be
greeted at a Cabaret then by the
vivacious Jeanne Bavaro and two gorgeous
show girls... Only in Vegas!

Jeanne Bavaro (VCO
In the Wings
columnist) is
bringing the good old days (the "Vegas I Love",)
back to Vegas, and if you missed the good old
days... well hopefully... here they come again!
(They really were GOOD old days, just ask anyone
who was around then.)
This last
Friday evening, January 26th, Jeanne
Bavaro of
BAVARO ETC.
(Exclusive Talent Concepts)
debuted her monthly Cabaret Dinner Shows at
Josette’s Bistro. The talented Lisa Donovan
www.lisadonovan.com opened the new venue.

Lisa
has appeared many times
in Vegas.
Her most successful engagement in
Vegas was a “three-week" booking at the
Desert Inn that developed into a
seven-month-long gig. During that
stretch, she was billed on the outside
marquee and on lighted signs throughout
the hotel as "The Sensational Lisa
Donovan". |

Ms. Bavaro’s
intent is for monthly Cabaret dinner shows that
will bring back those golden days of the "Supper
Club" era from early Vegas. Which thrills
me! I only hope more and more pop up around town.
This venue is specifically targeted to locals.
Jeanne’s goal is to combine quality talent with
fine dining at an affordable price in a small
neighborhood venue.
Jeanne stated “Josette's Bistro's
food is exquisite and of course, I ONLY
associate myself with quality talent!!! I’m very
excited about bringing class back to the
neighborhoods by way of cabaret and supper club
style events.”
Jeanne's plans are to use Josette's Bistro as the
template building momentum to two shows the last
Friday of each month and then of course, spin
them off all around the valley without putting
the venues in competition with one another. |

I was fortunate to sit at a table
with some very
genial
people. Besides
sitting next to Las Vegas' own
Entertainment Ambassador Tony
Sacca, I also sat with a lovely
lady, Ronit Medicina,
Ronit happen to have won the
evening's "Prize Package"
which included a
beautiful bottle of champagne (Veuve
Clicquot) in an ice bucket!
Congrats Linda!
Now everyone knows VCO loves
giveaways
(we do giveaways all the time),
so we would like to send our KUDOS to Josette
and company for their
generous natures. |

The sold
out premiere show was enjoyed by all
with the talented songstress wooing us
with her mellow tones… and the food?…
what can you say... it was great
(but why wouldn’t it be… after all, it’s
Josette’s, and one of
VCO's Best of 2006.)
This dinner show venue
will continue for at least the next 5
months on the last Friday of each month
with a new menu and new artist each
month. The next dinner show at Josette's is on
February 23rd, Janice Hart is
the next artist to perform. Janice is a
fabulous Impressionist/ Comedienne.
Doors open at 6:00 pm show at 8:30 pm.
