Las Vegas Celebs Unite for a Shave on The Strip to Fight Childhood Cancer
Alright, folks, let’s talk about an event that truly captures the heart and energy of Las Vegas! This past Sunday, the Brooklyn Bridge at New York-New York Hotel & Casino was buzzing with excitement as the 16th annual St. Baldrick’s head-shaving event took over the Strip. But this wasn’t just any Vegas spectacle—this was an event with a mission: to raise a whopping $350,000 for childhood cancer research.
The day kicked off with Enoch Augustus Scott of “Zombie Burlesque” taking the mic as emcee, alongside Fox 5’s Jason Feinberg. And, in classic Vegas style, things got lively fast! One of the most heartwarming moments? A young shavee named Carter, who not only braved the clippers but also got a taste of Vegas showbiz with a spontaneous dance-off against Enoch. Talk about a debut on the Strip!

Celebrity participation was off the charts. Big names from Vegas entertainment grabbed clippers and got to work. Terry Fator, the casts of “Potted Potter,” Chippendales, “Fantasy,” Thunder from Down Under, and even Dita Von Teese from Voltaire at The Venetian all took turns buzzing heads for a cause. The energy was electric, with performances keeping the crowd engaged while donations poured in.
The event has deep roots in the Las Vegas community, led by passionate individuals like John McManus of MGM Resorts International and Brian McMullan, co-founder of Las Vegas’ St. Baldrick’s events. McMullan and his wife Lynn launched the tradition in 2007 in honor of their daughter, Kyra, who tragically lost her battle with brain cancer at just two and a half years old. Since then, the St. Baldrick’s movement in Las Vegas has raised over $8 million, with McMullan’s Irish Pub continuing to be a cornerstone of the fundraising efforts.
And let’s not forget, St. Baldrick’s isn’t the only bald-related news making waves. Cirque du Soleil co-founder Guy Laliberté is hinting at a major return to Vegas, with his signature over-the-top entertainment in the works. Meanwhile, ZZ Top’s temporary drummer, John Douglas, is also turning heads—this time with his artwork, which is currently on display at Animazing Gallery in The Venetian’s Grand Canal Shoppes.
Las Vegas never stops, and neither does its generosity. The 16th annual St. Baldrick’s event proved once again that when this city comes together, it does so in a big way. Whether it’s the glitz and glam of a show or the selfless act of shaving it all off, Vegas knows how to put on an unforgettable event—with heart. If you missed this year’s event, don’t worry. The fundraising continues, and there’s always another chance to be part of something truly special on the Strip!
