                                                “Ol' Blue Eyes is Back!”

          
America voted Paul Salos as the best Sinatra in the USA on NBC TV’s “America’s Got Talent”.
      His natural vocal impression of Frank Sinatra won the judges and the hearts of America. Out of 3
      million people that applied and 300,000 that auditioned,   Paul won the coveted 6th position in the Top 10.  
      Now he has also won thousands of fans through out the World! New Sinatra fans, from 6 to 86,
                                      especially the younger ones that had never heard of Frank Sinatra,
                                                 now they know Paul Salos and love his Sinatra music.
     Sinatra fans also love Paul, because he brings back the memories of Sinatra during his best years.
            Paul was a huge success on all the AGT televised shows and won millions of votes from America
                                                      ( and several thousand from Sapphire Valley! ).
                                 He wowed the audience at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino Garden Arena
                    in Las Vegas on the final show. They wanted to hear more of Paul and his  music.
                They kept chanting “more”, “more”, “more”! They did not want him to leave the stage.

  
       Sapphire Valley Resort has the honor of having Paul Salos kick off the concert season,
                                        where our audience will get more, more, more!!  

       You will get a lot more, a lot of Frank, some “Rat Pack” tunes  and many other time-proven songs that will
                             take you from our ski slope right to the  golden strip in downtown Las Vegas, Baby!!
                                              Get your tickets early and don’t miss this fantastic show!
                    Tickets are available now at the Sapphire Valley Community Center. 743.7663
