LAS VEGAS (February 2025) – The Composers Room Showlounge & Restaurant, poised as the premier destination for vintage Vegas entertainment in the Historic Commercial Center, announces the St. Baldrick’s Kickoff “All Vegas, All Night” Birthday Celebration for Las Vegas man-about-town columnist John Katsilometes on Monday, March 3, from 6 to 11 p.m. This high-energy evening will blend Las Vegas entertainment with a heartfelt cause, as the city’s top performers gather to raise funds for pediatric cancer research.
Katsilometes has been shaving his head for St. Baldrick’s since 2013. This year’s event marks the first time his annual St. Baldrick’s fundraiser will take center stage at The Composers Room. Attendees can expect an eclectic mix of entertainment, including show-stopping musical performances, comedy, magic and more. A surprise celebrity guest will also take the stage to shave Katsilometes’ head as the official kickoff to his annual St. Baldrick’s campaign culminating on Sunday, March 16.
“These events are set up to generate donations for St. Baldrick’s at a cool hang in Las Vegas,” said Katsilometes.
Renowned Vegas bandleader Kenny Davidsen will return as music director, co-hosting the night alongside the charismatic Kelly Clinton-Holmes. A highlight of the evening will include the return of The D.C. MagicTones, reunited with the support of legendary illusionist David Copperfield.
Guests can purchase a curated selection of cuisine from The Composers Room menu as well as custom mocktails crafted exclusively for the evening, including the powder-blue “Kats Classic” concocted as an homage to his 1967 Mercury Cougar.
“Our city thrives on spectacle, community and heart—this night brings all three together in a way only Vegas can,” said Damian Costa, managing partner, The Composers Room. “John Katsilometes has spent years shining a light on this city’s incredible talent, and now, that talent is coming together to give back in his honor. We’re proud to host a night where the stage isn’t just for entertainment—it’s for impact.”
The Composers Room Showlounge & Restaurant is located at 953 East Sahara Ave., E1A, Las Vegas, NV 89104. A $20 suggested donation purchased here or at the door grants entry to the celebration, with 100% of proceeds benefiting the St. Baldrick’s Foundation.
