The group, led by Tony Ruivivar, has emerged as a major matinee attraction in the gambling capital. The SOS, featuring vocalist Lani Misalucha, do shows at 3 p.m. Wednesdays through Sundays in the Flamingo's showroom.
In November, the SOS became the first Asian American performers to receive a star on the Las Vegas Walk of Stars, an award widely acknowledged in the Asian community. The group joined the Flamingo roster in 2006 but previously performed at Bally's, following a 30-plus-year run at the Main Showroom of the Outrigger Waikiki hotel.
"The group's unique blend of music and comedy delights audiences every afternoon and is unmatched on the strip," said Don Marrandino, president of the Flamingo Las Vegas, in a prepared statement.
