The participation of Siegfried & Roy in the annual launch of Octoberfest at the eight year old Vegas Hofbrauhaus is well documented. On Saturday, the tradition continued as documented by Norm Clarke for the Las Vegas Review Journal.
To a wild ovation, Roy walked from the front door to the stage without a cane, walker or human assistance.
"It gave me goose bumps," said Stefan Gastager, managing partner.
It was another example of how far Roy has come since the career-ending, near-fatal encounter with a tiger at The Mirage in October 2003.
