If there\u2019s a heaven, we\u2019re pretty sure it\u2019s populated mainly with dogs.<\/p>\n

A beloved Chihuahua, Mr. Piffles, featured in Flamingo\u2019s comedy-magic \u201cPiff the Magic Dragon\u201d show, has died just shy of his 17th birthday. Mr. Piffles passed on Nov. 8, 2024.<\/p>\n

In honor of the pup, Flamingo will open \u201cMr. Piffles\u2019 Magical Playground,\u201d a dog-friendly space at the Strip hotel.<\/p>\n

Piff (nee John van der Put) has worked with Mr. Piffles for 15 years.<\/p>\n

This quote from van der Put from the announcement of the passing of Mr. Piffles was sweet, \u201cFor over 15 years I\u2019ve had the privilege and the pleasure of being upstaged and outshone night after night by Mr. Piffles. He came into my life when I had nothing, and set me on the path to a career I could only dream of. In the beginning, I may have rescued him, but in the end, he rescued me.\u201d<\/p>\n

He meant \u201cmore than 15 years,\u201d not \u201cover,\u201d but he\u2019s grieving.<\/p>\n
