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.

The casino floor built Las Vegas. Now the people who own Las Vegas are taking it apart one row at a time.

In 1984, 59 cents of every dollar on the Las Vegas Strip came from gambling. Today it's about 26 cents. Nevada has lost roughly 50,000 slot machines since 2001. The Strip once had around 70 buffets, the bait that pulled you onto the casino floor, and about six are left. In the state's latest report on the 51 biggest Strip casinos, their combined profit fell 81 percent in a single year.

The owners have read those numbers. The biggest casino company on the Strip calls its next project the largest integrated resort in the world, and it's in Japan. Another name that's been in lights on the Strip for decades is spending $5 billion on a casino tower near Dubai. The family that built the Venetian sold every casino it owned in Las Vegas and is now lobbying Texas.

Meanwhile, the loyal customers who kept this city alive for decades are getting squeezed harder than ever. And the generation that was supposed to take their seats won't sit down at a slot machine.

This is how Las Vegas decided the casino has no future. And it's what that decision means for you.
