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.

In 1995, Martin Scorsese delivered Casino, a sprawling epic that transformed Las Vegas into a character of its own. But behind the polished performances and stunning visuals lurked secrets that would rival any mob conspiracy.

This video reveals twenty-five hidden truths about the making of Casino that most fans have never heard. From the explosive opening scene that was rewritten at the last minute to the dangerous practical stunts that put performers at real risk, every aspect of this production pushed boundaries and defied expectations.

Discover how Robert De Niro wore more than seventy custom outfits that nearly bankrupted the studio, and how Sharon Stone suffered genuine physical pain while sewn into her glamorous gowns for twelve-hour shooting days. Learn about Frank Cullotta, the real former mobster who coached the actors and even appeared on screen in a chilling meta-moment.

The film's production involved real operating casinos, rigged slot machines controlled by hidden crew members, and a soundtrack of more than fifty songs chosen to foreshadow betrayals before they happened. Scorsese and editor Thelma Schoonmaker fought the MPAA by trimming individual frames to avoid a commercial death sentence, while the wardrobe department used color psychology to track each character's moral descent.
