Something for everyone is in store for the remainder of Seneca Casinos' winter entertainment lineup in 2014. Just announced for Seneca Niagara Events Center is longtime talk show host and comedian Joy Behar on Feb. 15 and country superstar Trace Adkins on March 22. Seneca Allegany Events Center announces a value-priced general admission performance by The Machine, a globally touring Pink Floyd tribute act, for President's Day weekend (Feb. 16) as well as country singer-songwriter Travis Tritt on March 8. Three new acts also are booked for the Bear's Den Showroom in Niagara Falls, including Austrian-Italian heartthrob Patrizio Buanne on Valentine's Day.

Behar, best known for her 16 years as a co-host on the ABC daytime talk show "The View," comes to Seneca Niagara Events Center Saturday, Feb. 15, for an evening of in-your-face standup comedy. Tickets for the 8 p.m. performance start at $25 and are on sale now.

Closing out winter entertainment on Saturday, March 22, is country superstar Adkins at Seneca Niagara Events Center. Tickets for the 8 p.m. show start at $45 and go on sale Monday, Dec. 30, at noon. The unmistakable baritone is known for hits such as "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk," "This Ain't No Love Song" and "You're Gonna Miss This." He also has made dozens of appearances on television, most recently winning the 2013 season of NBC's "The Celebrity Apprentice." This year, he released two albums: "Love Will...," and Christmas-themed "The King's Gift."

A value-priced $15 general admission show at Seneca Allegany Events Center in Salamanca on President Day's weekend will add to the fun for thousands of people enjoying a ski weekend in nearby Ellicottville. The Machine, a premier Pink Floyd tribute act that has performed for more than 25 years, will take the stage at a special 7 p.m. start time Sunday, Feb. 16.
