Carrot Top also unveiled Luis Larios of Miami, Florida as the winner of the logo design contest he launched this past fall.
“I really love the logo that Luis designed, as it really captures my unique style and brand!” said Carrot Top. “I’ve always drawn most of my logos in the past, but I am so excited to have a new logo that was created by one of my fans, just in time for my 18th anniversary at Luxor. I look forward to having Luis at the show soon and meeting him in person!”
The winning design will be featured on Carrot Top’s social media accounts. Luis will also receive: two $300 Allegiant travel vouchers; a two-night, three-day stay in a Tower Premium King Room at Luxor Hotel and Casino; a $150 food and beverage credit to be used at Luxor Hotel and Casino; two tickets to Carrot Top’s Las Vegas show; and a VIP meet & greet with Carrot Top.

Since his debut on “Star Search,” Carrot Top has soared to success. “When I started touring at the beginning of my career, I had two trunks and a strobe light,” said Carrot Top. “Things got pretty crazy pretty fast and before I knew it, I had a team touring the country in an 18-wheeler with 35 trunks full of props.”
