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.

No Doubt throws it back routinely in its Sphere residency production. The band emptied its scrapbook and VHS tapes to create a timeless tableau of its nearly 40-year history.

Many of the photos and videos show Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont and Adrian Young so young, they seem like a School of Rock tribute band.

Young, the band’s powerhouse drummer, recalled a moment from 35 years ago that escaped visual chronology. The musician lit the lamp, befouled a gaming table and burned through his per diem at a classic Strip casino.

“The first time I came with the band was probably 1991, and we were doing our first West Coast tour,” Young says during an online interview leading to No Doubt’s Wednesday premiere at Sphere. “We played at the Shark Club, and we stayed at the Aladdin.”

No Doubt has made Vegas history as the only band to ever play Shark Club (which closed in its location on Harmon Avenue and the Strip in the late ’90s), Huntridge Theater (in May 1995, nine years before the theater shut down) and Sphere.
