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.

At Wynn Las Vegas, the newest room with a view — greens, waterfall, desert landscaping — opens Friday.

This slice of country in the city, aka Wynn’s Cliff House Grill, is debuting above the 18th green as part of Wynn Golf Club, which sports a new two-level clubhouse designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the famed architecture firm that designed, among other projects, Lever House on Park Avenue in Manhattan, the Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower) in Chicago and Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, in Dubai.

The clubhouse materials — earth, wood, stone — nod to and draw from the landscape, with a strong horizontal orientation that enacts a significant presence while also complementing the setting. A defining feature is the relocation of the pro tee to the roof of the clubhouse, creating a rooftop tee-off that extends the landscape into the architecture.

“We saw an opportunity to make the architecture part of the golf course — not an object set apart from it,” said Colin Koop, design partner with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, in a Thursday announcement.

“The building is deliberately restrained and horizontal, allowing the landscape to lead. The rooftop tee makes that idea tangible, turning the building itself into part of the course.”
