Cook E. Jarr has been performing in Las Vegas Casino Resorts since 1969. He started with his back-up band the Krums at Caesars Palace in Nero’s Nook (which is now Cleopatra’s Barge). He then moved back to the East Coast and Atlantic City, NJ. The Krums are no longer part of the act.
His real name is Anthony Pettine and he’s a native of Philadelphia, PA. Cook E. Jarr currently performs Monday nights from 6 pm to 8 pm at the Napolean Lounge at the Paris Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip, and he has a large following.
He has performed in other Las Vegas lounges and venues since 1982, including the Silver Slipper, Dunes, Holiday (now Harrah’s), El Rancho, Continental (now Silver Sevens), Tropicana, Bally’s, Caesars Palace (return visit), MGM Grand, Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall (now the Cromwell), Harrah’s and now Paris Hotel and Casino.
Congrats, Cook E. Jarr for 50 years of fantastic entertainment and being a great resident of Southern Nevada. Keep up the great work!
