Anyone who has been in Vegas the past decade has probably seen the ad for Vinnie Favorito, a "dirty style" comic, at The Flamingo.

Favorito is from the Boston area, and would often be the donator at the comedian poker games and Foxwoods, owing people a good amount of money (I do stand up from time-to-time, and have heard many a "chino" bad beat story from the burned). After owing so much in Boston/NYC, he came to Vegas and found some success.

The show was shut down after it was revealed he owed even more in gambling debts. I don't know how people kept loaning him money considering he once starred in a documentary called, "Poker Bustouts".
