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 Khalaf family has built a business in Las Vegas selling fossils, crystals and meteorites, along with metal sculptures made in Thailand from junked car parts.

The Khalaf family bought the half-acre site late last year for nearly $2.4 million, property records show. Plus, it cost just over $1 million to transform the strip club into the shop it is today, according to Ashraf “Alex” Khalaf, owner of luxury retailer Kalifano.

He said the old building had a foul smell and was dark inside, but after the sweeping renovations, it now has new mechanical systems, roofing, walls, glass and more.
