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 Michelin Guide, the world’s most prestigious source of culinary recognition, has selected Las Vegas as the host city for the unveiling of its new Michelin Guide Southwest covering Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Utah.

The awards ceremony recognizing restaurants in the region will be Aug. 26 at the Fontainebleau, the host property. Michelin, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and the Fontainebleau announced the news Tuesday in the Poodle Room, a private lounge atop the hotel-casino.

Michelin inspectors are currently in the field in Vegas. The 2009 cycle marked the last time inspectors visited, awarding Michelin stars to 17 restaurants, including three stars to Joël Robuchon in the MGM Grand, the only Vegas restaurant ever to receive the top Michelin rating.

The return of the guide to Vegas tracks with the city’s emergence, in the past two decades, as “a dining scene worthy of global recognition,” Gwendal Poullennec, international director of the guide, said in a video address at the announcement, which was attended by Michelin and LVCVA officials, executives from the Fontainebleau and other Strip properties, and other invited guests.
