From 2005 to 2015, Vinnie Favorito was one of the rare comedians with a headlining show on the Strip.
He also talked his new fanbase and industry connections out of more than a million dollars — mostly to fuel his gambling addiction.
In 2015, he lost his show, ran into legal problems, and declared bankruptcy.
Detailing all of this is a new locally produced documentary, Vinnie Plays Vegas, now available to rent online.
