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.

Las Vegas is built on one rule. The house always wins.

But throughout history, certain people decided that rule didn't apply to them. Some were criminal masterminds. Some were desperate. Some were the very people hired to keep the casinos honest.

These are the nine biggest cons in Las Vegas history — from a twenty-year mob skimming operation inside the Stardust that the FBI spent years unraveling, to a man who reverse-engineered slot machine microprocessors in his garage and stole sixteen million dollars, to a Nevada Gaming Control Board inspector who used his government access to cheat the very machines he was paid to certify.

One of them ran for two decades under the noses of the most regulated gambling environment on earth.

Nobody saw it coming.
