The "Entertainment Ambassador of Las Vegas". Tony Sacca presents his one-man variety show as he takes you through a musical journey highlighting classics from the swing era to contemporary standards.  In 1985 Tony Sacca, along with his twin brother Robert, conceived and created a local television show called “Live From Las Vegas,” a show that would keep re-inventing itself for the next 20 years.  Since then, Tony has interviewed over 300 major celebrities and has covered many show openings including Hotel Implosions to Mega Resort openings. The show has been a major influence for reporting what’s happening in Las Vegas.  In commemoration of the 20 years, Tony composed the new Las Vegas song called “Las Vegas Rocks”.  He just recently got a Star on the Las Vegas Walk of Stars.

Tony coordinates special events for the organization.  He is the original member of the Society of Seven that opened at the Hawaiian Outrigger in 1969. They came out of Hong Kong as the Fabulous Echoes several years previously and passed through Hawaii on the way to Las Vegas, the Ed Sullivan Show, and guest spots on the other national television musical variety shows of the era. The Fabulous Echoes were popular in Hawaii as well when they became the Society Of Seven shortly before opening at the Outrigger. Ruivivar says one secret to the group's longevity is "hard work and enjoying what you're doing." He adds it's also important to selectively incorporate new ideas without losing the original essence of the act. Advances in synthesizers, sequencers, sound gear and lighting allow the SOS to do things that weren't possible in 1969.
