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 was built on one promise: anyone, from anywhere, could get here cheap and easy.
That promise is breaking.
In a single year, passenger traffic at Harry Reid International dropped nearly 8%. Spirit Airlines — once the #2 carrier at this airport — has cut 71% of its Las Vegas flights and fallen to #8. Delta permanently canceled routes. And Canadian visitors, a revenue pillar worth 1.5 million trips a year, are down 24–30%.
This isn't a blip. This is a structural shift.
In this video, we break down exactly what's happening to Las Vegas air travel, why the airlines are leaving, what the Canadian tourism collapse actually costs the Strip, and whether the city's bet on mega-events like the F1 Grand Prix, WrestleMania 42, and the FIFA World Cup is enough to fill the gap.
Las Vegas has survived 9/11, 2008, and the pandemic.
A major Las Vegas resort chain is now accepting the Canadian dollar at par to attract more visitors, reflecting current economy trends.
But this time, the threat isn't a crash. It's a slow drain.
