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 Weekly just dropped their Best of Las Vegas 2026 results this week, and this may come as a surprise to you: Fontainebleau officially took the Reader's Choice award for Best Strip Casino!

Given how dominant Wynn, Encore, and the Cosmopolitan have been in that conversation for years, this is a massive statement for the North Strip. For those of you who've played there recently: does the gaming floor, atmosphere, and service warrant the top spot, or is it still fighting its location? We dive into what went into the win in our latest video, where we do a fresh tour of the entire property, and point out everything that Fontainebleau is doing right.
