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.

Plannin' a Zion or Grand Canyon trip? Most folks assume they've gotta base outta Las Vegas.
⁠
They don't.
⁠
Two hours from the Strip sits a red-rock town called St. George — one of the Southwest's most underrated basecamps.
⁠
Forty-five minutes to Zion. Three hours to the Grand Canyon's North Rim. Half the price of a Vegas hotel — and none of the neon.
⁠
Well — none but Tuacahn. An outdoor amphitheater set right into the red rocks, playin' Broadway-quality shows all season.
⁠
Historic downtown. Restaurants that'll fill your belly without emptyin' your wallet.
⁠
Stay in Vegas for slot machines. Stay in St. George for sleep — and closer to everything else.
