In the heyday of Las Vegas lounge entertainment, Kenny Laursen was billed as “The World’s Most Contagious Entertainer” of the era. 17 year old Kenny first arrived on the Las Vegas scene in August of 1960. He was first spotted entertaining the crowds at the Showboat Hotel and Casino with rockabilly performer Bob Luman, who sang the Boudleaux Bryant song "Let's Think About Living," making it a Top Ten hit.
Kenny went on to share Las Vegas stages with well-known stars of the time; such as Wayne Newton, Don Rickles, and Louis Prima. Afterwards, he hit the road and took his act to nightclubs around Southern California. Alongside with the countless nightclub performances, his credits also include motion pictures, hitting the airwaves as radio announcer, headlining on cruise ships, and even becoming a TV game show host. In 1992, Kenny decided to set aside some time for his family, so he took a 30-year hiatus nurturing his next generation. Kenny has since come full-circle, getting him back into what he loves! Kenny Laursen is still The World’s Most Contagious Entertainer. Come on in and enjoy his infectious style of music and entertainment LIVE… He won’t disappoint!! |
