Tragedy Dims the Glitter


The Las Vegas community was stunned Friday to find out Danny Gans, 52, passed away.

I was very reluctant to post this in fear I could not serve this great man justice. On stage, he was brilliant; and recognized as the Las Vegas Entertainer of the Year for eleven consecutive years. Off stage, he was greater. Danny contributed so much to the community and the children he dearly loved. He worked tirelessly to better the lives of the ill and less fortunate.

Danny touched the lives of millions through his comedy and service. I never knew him personally and I miss him already.

Please continue his legacy by making a donation to The Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation at http://www.nvccf.org/.

  2. My heart is heavy for his wife and children. Though I had never met the man, I understand he is a local Las Vegas hero.

  3. Yes, he was very loved in the community as well as a great talent. The signs on the casino marquees and taxis all over town exemplify how beloved he was...I struggle with these things. Rest in Peace.
