Voted # 1 More times than any other Lounge Performer in the History of Las Vegas!<\/p>\n

What Happens In Vegas, Stays in Vegas. That\u2019s been true of lounge legend Cook E. Jarr<\/strong> since June 2nd, 1982, when he and his backup group, the Krums arrived from Atlantic City, NJ for a two-week gig at the now imploded Sands.<\/p>\n

The Sands may be long gone but the Cookster\u2019s still cooking on the Strip, his new home now being The Piano Bar inside Harrah’s Las Vegas Hotel & Casino where he can be found performing Saturdays & Sundays from 4pm – 6pm.<\/p>\n

The music may have changed, with hip-hop hits from Nelly, 50-Cent, Usher and OutKast joining old standbys from Steppenwolf to Kool and the Gang. But the act remains much the same. Booming, booty-shaking music. Plentiful patter from the motor mouth musician, punctuated by the Cookster\u2019s dog barks, imitation engine-revving (which comes in handy during \u201cBorn to Be Wild\u201d) and other trademark sound effects Read more…<\/a><\/p>\n

From the editor<\/em>
\nI had an apartment next door to the Continental (now Terrible’s) on Paradise, just a few blocks north of the Hard Rock, when the Cookster held court late night in the lounge. For a while it was the hipster place to be in Las Vegas. I moved to the apartment on Paradise Boulevard – because in the 70s I was homeless and living on the Las Vegas Streets; one of those streets was Paradise. I needed to “get back” at that street because it was so very mean.. <\/p>\n
