Vinnie Favorito – Unfiltered
Blonde4ever talks about one of her ‘Favorito’ entertainers, capisce?
The first time I saw Vinnie Favorito was back in 2006 when he was still at O’Sheas. Since then I have seen him with my children, my husband, my sister in law, alone, etc.; obviously, I am a big fan. If you are in the mood for some raw, off the cuff, unscripted humour, you need to see Vinnie. The time I went with my kids Vinnie zoned in on my son and the fact that he was a Walmart employee at the time; when I brought my sister in law, he discovered that she taught special needs kids and made her the butt of a few jokes. They loved being singled out by him, and by the end of the show, you are wishing he would pick on you. The closer you are to the stage the more likely you are to be a target; and whatever you do, don’t get up to go to the washroom!
Vinnie Favorito is an equal opportunity offender; he will offend everyone, one way or another. I am always somewhat amazed, though, at his ability to turn a comment that might make me frown in any other context, into what seems like charming chatter. Vinnie zeros in on your age, ethnicity, job and just about anything else you can think of, but he does it in a way that is always hilarious. However, if political correctness is your thing, you may want to take a pass on this show. My advice is not to prejudge, go and see for yourself. There is a good reason why Vinnie has been a successful comedian for over 20 years.
Vinnie went through some financial issues back in 2015 and lost his position at the Flamingo hotel. Since then he has been doing shows at Tommy Wind Theater and at Hooters. Favorito’s new show “Unfiltered” which opened recently at the Westgate Resort and Casino marks his return to a large venue.
Red Mercury Entertainment has given him another chance to be where he belongs, in front of an audience. Vinnie’s many loyal fans will undoubtedly support him in his new location.
As for me, I would go again, and again, and again.
Favorito appears Wednesdays through Sundays at 9 p.m. in the Cabaret Theater at the Westgate Resort & Casino.

I LOVEEEEEE Vinnie. Saw him @ Flamingo I think. I was in TEARSSSS. Folks kept trying to warn hubs and I but we’re from Brooklyn and tough skinned. He killed it!!! Love him. Got tickets from tickets for less. So glad he is in a new venue cause I heard the Hooters location was no bueno. Can’t wait to see him again. Thanks so much for the update.
I agree…his show is so much fun!
love me some vinnie
Me too! Thanks for reading!
This is the only show in LV that I’ve actually seen twice! DH and I went and thought it was so hilarious that we had to bring our friends. But, yes, practically everyone can be a target of his humor, either directly or indirectly. Super funny, but certainly not for those easily offended.
Exactly.
He sounds like a good dose of the much needed Don Rickles… close?
Similar yes….
