About Ron & Lisa
Husband and wife team, Ron and Lisa Smith are co-owners of "Beyond Talent Productions" (producing some of the best entertainment Las Vegas has to offer) and have been working and performing together for almost 10 years. The couple met while living in California, where Ron had been hosting the famous Wild Bill's Wild West Extravaganza in Buena Park, CA (playing the role of "Wild Bill") since its opening in 1991. In the summer of 1999, Lisa was hired to be his new co-host (playing the role of "Miss Annie"), and the rest is...shall we say...history.
Although Lisa and Ron continue to enjoy their own "solo" performing careers, their favorite thing to do is still perform and sing TOGETHER. They have become frequent guest artists at the Suncoast Hotel & Casino "Hit Parade" Show, they've written and performed several original shows together ("Back To Broadway;" "Side by Side: the Music of Steve & Eydie;" "Love is a Many COMPLICATED Thing;" "Through the Decades: A Holiday Music Revue;" "Slow Boat To China: the Music of Frank Loesser, from Tin Pan Alley to Broadway," and more...), and in the past year have become one of the most sought-after performing duos in Las Vegas!
