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.

Steve Wynn's revolutionary vision for Bellagio included an unorthodox approach to publicity that immediately captivated regional newspapers and magazines. Described as "kinky" and unique, this strategy focused not just on the immense cost of the facility itself, but on a distinctive tactic to capture widespread attention for what they were creating.

This unconventional method ignited an avalanche of media coverage that rapidly gained momentum, much of it beyond their initial control and somewhat unexpected. Bellagio's groundbreaking opening secured coveted cover features on major international publications, including Time magazine, Der Spiegel, and the L.A. Times, among countless others, showcasing the power of a truly bold marketing play.

The sheer scale of this media frenzy demonstrates how a calculated, albeit "kinky," tactic by Steve Wynn could generate unprecedented buzz and skyrocket a brand's profile. It proved that sometimes the most surprising approaches yield the biggest, most impactful results.
