An Old Fashioned, some red lipstick and a black dress…sigh, there’s just something undeniable about a good ol’ classic. The beloved Vegas showgirl may be an endangered species these days (insert tear), but “VEGAS! THE SHOW” preserved those feather-clad beauties and the likes of an era when everything was flashier and dripping with sophistication. What’s that you ask? Can a show filled with gorgeous and talented women a la Rat Pack era really exist in the here and now? Oh yes my friend, it sure can and all we have to say is raise that curtain and let the good times roll. With a little song, a lot of dance and that certain sultry allure that only old timey Vegas could pull off, this is a trip down memory lane and, well, it’s pretty legit. The costumes are fun, funky, sexy and so real. Ok, well maybe not the candy-themed costumes but hell, their Sammy Davis Jr. sure had us pining for an autograph. For a city that was built on pure, raw talent and obviously dolla dolla bills, this show celebrates iconic moments from the city's rich entertainment history through the decades that made the Vegas we know and love today. And we’ll tip our top hats to that.

It was just past midnight on Wednesday, but the party was still in full flourish for Carlos Mencia. The veteran comic had taken over the karaoke show at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club, where he performs in residency and is back again Thursday.

Wearing black Adidas sweat pants and a “Star Wars” stormtrooper T-shirt, Mencia moved around the room, mic in hand, singing along to the Backstreet Boys, “Tell me why, ain’t nothin’ but a heartache. Tell me why, ain’t nothing but a mistaaaaake …”

Mencia seemed to be making up for lost time after doing time. He had just been released from jail in Van Nuys, California, on Monday morning after posting a $50,000 bond after being arrested Thursday at his home in L.A. The former “Mind of Mencia” star has been charged with tax evasion, allegedly owing the state of California $300,000 in back taxes from 2019 to ‘24.

Mencia arrived on the Strip just before the 9:30 p.m. show. After being introduced by featured comic Gabe Lopez, Mencia cut to the chase about his still-fresh incarceration. He had written 20 minutes of new material specific to this incident.

“I got arrested by the f——- franchise tax board police,” Mencia said in his opening bit for the near-capacity crowd at the Linq Promenade club. “I didn’t even know they had police. I swear, in my head, I expected guys to show up with little calculators and a visor.”
