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.

Long before the mega-resorts, luxury hotels, and millions of visitors, Las Vegas was a very different place.

In this interview, Steve Wynn reflects on his arrival in Las Vegas in 1967 as a 25-year-old entrepreneur. He describes a small city with fewer than 200,000 residents, a handful of hotels, modest casinos, and none of the massive resorts that would later define the Strip.

This conversation provides a fascinating glimpse into the early days of Las Vegas and the opportunities that visionary entrepreneurs saw before the city's explosive growth.

In this video, you'll learn:

• What Las Vegas looked like in the 1960s
• How the city evolved into a global destination
• Steve Wynn's first impressions of Vegas
• The opportunities hidden in emerging markets
• Lessons about vision, timing, and entrepreneurship

Every great city has a beginning. This is the story of Las Vegas before it became the entertainment capital of the world.
