Comedian
Jeff Dunham
SINBAD
Boy, he must have been really impressive when he played the Tropicana only once last year, followed by a New Year's Eve TV special that he hosted on the Strip. The easygoing Sinbad outdistanced the more aggressive comedy of Las Vegas regular George Carlin, but we're slightly baffled about the third-place finisher -- none other than the late, great George Burns.
Our Pick:
JEFF DUNHAM
Ventriloquist Dunham and his collection of "woozles" spiced up the forever-remodeling Sahara with hilarious shows that contrasted cuteness with some surprisingly coarse comments from his puppet cohorts. Dunham's deft work and ability to get away with murder makes him our selection in a tough category.
