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 Great Greek is giving Las Vegas Academy of the Arts students a new muse.

The Muse Cafe, that is.

Nick Della Penna, co-founder and co-owner of The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill — which has 11 locations in Southern Nevada and 85 franchisees around the country and the world — is adding a coffee shop to his portfolio.

But The Muse Cafe, at 601 E. Bridger Ave., across the street from LVA, is strictly a passion project. Della Penna, president of the Friends of LVA Foundation, will donate 100 percent of the profits to the school, where his daughter, Soaren, is a junior majoring in visual arts.

“I don’t want to make a dime out of this. I’m doing well with The Great Greek. This is for the school,” he said. “I want them to feel like this is their coffee shop. I want them to come before school, after school, before performances, after performances. Just for it to be a comfort zone for them. The location makes it absolutely perfect. It’s the LVA coffee shop.

“We’re going to have some super cool comfortable furniture and a bunch of charging jacks where they can plug in their Chromebooks or their laptops and get some work done or study.”

Della Penna came up with the idea to give back while driving his daughter to school past the space previously occupied by the Brew It Coffee House, which closed in July 2025.
