hit CBS show, will celebrate its five-year anniversary as a top destination for
Las Vegas locals, tourists and fans of CSI alike. As October also is Domestic Violence Awareness
Month, $3 from every full-priced ticket sold during the month will benefit
S.A.F.E. House, which is committed to stopping violence and abuse in the family
environment by providing safe shelter, support, advocacy, counseling and

& PR for EMS Entertainment, Inc. “In recognition of our fifth anniversary,
we are honored to partner with such a worthwhile charity. By donating a portion
of ticket sales throughout the month of October we are proud to directly
support the S.A.F.E. House mission and values to ensure that every woman, man
and child has the right to live in a safe, nurturing and supportive family
environment."
