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.

A downtown Las Vegas landmark is marking a major milestone, with celebrations underway for the El Cortez Hotel and Casino as it turns 85 this weekend.

The El Cortez was built during World War II and was among the first properties in Las Vegas designed and built specifically as a hotel-casino, rather than operating as only a hotel or a standalone casino.

The anniversary comes as the property has completed $22 million in casino renovations. The goal of the updates is to remodel while keeping the El Cortez’s history in mind, preserving an old Las Vegas vibe while updating games and making the casino more appealing to younger guests.
