Known the world over for "The Cosby Show," which ran from 1984 to 1992 on NBC, Cosby broke racial barriers and sent a powerful message to viewers - the family unit and raising children matters most. The No. 1 rated sitcom earned six Emmy Awards, three Golden Globes and 10 People's Choice Awards. It helped set the stage for Cosby's career as an author, as his book "Fatherhood" remained at No. 1 for more than half of its 54 weeks on The New York Times Best Seller List. Among Cosby's other titles are "Time Flies," "Love and Marriage" and most recently, "I Didn't Ask to be Born: (But I'm Glad I Was)."

In December 2013 Cosby's first comedy specials in thirty years, "Bill Cosby: Far From Finished," debuted on Comedy Central, and he was recently signed by NBC to star in a new sitcom.

A champion of youth, Cosby's dedication to helping children realize their potential is evidenced through his Emmy Award-winning "Little Bill" animated series, which aired on Nickelodeon and CBS. His other television and film credits include "Obkb," "Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids," "The Cosby Mysteries," "Man and Boy" and "UptownSaturday Night."

Few entertainers have achieved the legendary status of Cosby, who emerged from humble beginnings in a Philadelphia housing project. After returning from the Navy, Cosby went on to earn a degree at Temple University and later a master's and doctorate in Education from the University of Massachusetts. His lifelong contributions to American culture were recognized with a Kennedy Center Honor in 1998, the Presidential Medal of Freedom in July 2002, and the Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor in 2009.

Tickets are available starting at $59.95, plus taxes and service charges, and can be purchased by calling 866-712-9308 or 702-894-7722, or visiting www.treasureisland.com.
