Merle Haggard – Harrah’s AC9:00 pm – 11:45 pm
If the question were asked, “Who forged the genre that is known today as ‘modern country music’?,” only a tiny group of country immortals could step forward to share the spotlight. One, out of that select handful, would be Merle Haggard. Merle wasn’t in the delivery room on the morning country music was born; it simply seems like he was. And you won’t hear anybody refer to him as the father of country music. But many will swear he’s at least its godfather.
What gray poupon has meant to mustard, Haggard has meant to country music. Like rock ’n roll without Presley, and like Sears without Roebuck, country music without Haggard simply isn’t!
Few country devotees, be they oldtimers or neophytes, are unfamiliar with the craggy Haggard mask of a thousand photographs – that countenance that’s been etched by time and experience like the granite face of your favorite cliff. And even fewer are those who are unfamiliar with the evocative Haggard delivery that has spawned an entire school of country vocal stylists.
In the ever-expanding array of country music stars, hitmakers and idols, Haggard walks in no man’s shadow. Instead, he casts a far-reaching shadow of his own. Rare is the country balladeer that has mastered the idiom at so many different levels as has he.
In 1997 Merle Haggard was inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame for his song “Okie from Muskogee”

Jerry Seinfeld – Caesars Palace LV7:30 pm – 11:45 pm
Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner and entertainment icon Jerry Seinfeld was born in Brooklyn, New York and grew up in Massapequa, Long Island. He graduated from Queens College in 1976 and went straight to the New York comedy club circuit to hone his skills. It wasn’t until 1981 when he was 27 that his career took off – the result of his first successful spot on “The Tonight Show” with then-host Johnny Carson. Appearances on “Late Night with David Letterman” and “The Merv Griffin Show” followed, and Seinfeld soon became one of the leading standup comedians in the business.
In 1989, Seinfeld teamed up with fellow standup comedian Larry David and created “Seinfeld Chronicles” for Castle Rock Entertainment. This became the template for one of the most successful series in the history of television in NBC’s “Seinfeld.” The show ran for nine extraordinarily successful seasons and garnered numerous accolades, including the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series in 1993 and a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series in 1995, 1997 and 1998. In 1998, the finale episode aired to a national audience of a staggering 75 million viewers. Currently in its seventh year in syndication, “Seinfeld” is still a front-runner in the ratings. As a testament to its success in the television landscape, TV Guide’s poll of the “Greatest Shows of All Time” listed “Seinfeld” as #1.
