Siegfried & Roy may be out, but they certainly aren’t down. The duo will be making an appearance at a charity poker event for Opportunity Village at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, a rare event given their departure from performing shortly following Roy’s unfortunate tiger attack.

Also making an appearance is Lance Burton, along with a host of other big name entertainers. Opportunity village seems to be particularly honored to have the famed German duo:

“It’s such an honor to have Siegfried & Roy and many of our community’s premier entertainers together for an afternoon of fun with a purpose,” said Opportunity Village Chief Development Officer Linda Smith.

See?

Opportunity Village is a charity providing occupational, social, recreational, and artistic opportunities for those with intellectual disabilities. Sounds like a pretty darn fine reason for Siegfried & Roy to break their performing hiatus.

    Gotta tell you.. the first line caught my attention and when I understood what it really meant made me laugh out loud. ;)
  • Eek - seems I've been duped. The source where I got the story noted it as current, and I never thought to check the date. Good looking out Troy - sorry for the confusion.
