Amber Keener

President & CEO


Amber grew up in the world of show business. While her Mom performed as a headliner in major Las Vegas Shows, her Dad, the late Tony Anthony performed as musical arranger/conductor to the stars, and was featured in settings like Madison Square Garden with names like Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Jerry Vale.

Even though she wasn't born in a steamer trunk back stage, Amber learned to perform and by age 9 was a professional playing "Baby June" in “Gypsy.” At 10 she danced at the Riviera Hotel in “Country Jamboree” and by 12 performed in “Annie” and “Thoroughly Modern Millie.”
Until the ripe old age of 18, Amber assisted in managing her parent's Rainbow Performing Arts Center in Las Vegas. She then assumed the role as event coordinator and marketing director for Rainbow Connection.

As of 2006, Amber joined Rainbow as its President and CEO, a position to which she brings 21 years of experience.
