Frank Marino

Lifetime Achievement Award

For more than 40 years, Frank Marino has been a legendary fixture of Las Vegas entertainment. Arriving on the Strip in 1985, Marino became an instant sensation with his iconic portrayal of Joan Rivers, ultimately spending more than two decades starring in An Evening at La Cage at the Riviera Hotel & Casino. His razor-sharp wit, glamorous style, and larger-than-life personality made him one of the most recognizable entertainers in Las Vegas history.

Marino later produced and headlined the long-running Divas Las Vegas, continuing his reign at the LINQ for over 10 years. Most recent, Marino performed Divas, Drag and Drinks at the Virgin Hotel where he celebrated his 40-year anniversary as a Las Vegas headliner. Through four decades of headline performances, television appearances, and unforgettable moments, Frank Marino has become more than a Las Vegas headliner—he’s a Las Vegas icon. And after 40+ years in the spotlight, Frank Marino is still proving that legends don’t fade away…they just get more fabulous.
