Kimmel promises “top-flight celebrity guests,” and his producers have been scouring the scene for classic-Las Vegas individuals and images, along with leading headliners.
Kimmel, a Clark High School grad who attended UNLV, is opening Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club at Linq Promenade this year. The original, announced timeline was for a spring opening.
