All that Kelly Warnell wants is to sail the high seas of Las Vegas, metaphorically speaking. Well hear shouts of “Ahoy!” once more from the Strip, if the self-dubbed “mischief maker” has her way.

Warnell plans to bring back the original “The Battle of Buccaneer Bay” pirate show at Treasure Island. She has visions of reviving the dragon show outside Excalibur. She fancies a revival of “Masquerade Show in the Sky” at the Rio.

Warnell is not to be underestimated. The woman clad in a green-velvet, superhero-fashioned pantsuit on Tuesday at The Overlook is the lead creator of HallowScreamCon and HallowScreamFest, which will debut in Oct. 1-4 in Las Vegas. The former will be staged at Las Vegas Convention Center South Halls and Luxor’s Hyper X Arena. The latter will spread with attractions across the city, including Area15, the Arts District and Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign.
