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.

Caesars Entertainment is being acquired by Tilman Fertitta's Fertitta Entertainment for $17.6 billion — the largest casino deal in U.S. history. Here's the breakdown of what's actually changing on the Las Vegas Strip, what stays the same in 2026, and what to expect heading into 2027.
Eight Caesars Strip properties — Caesars Palace, Paris Las Vegas, Planet Hollywood, Flamingo, Harrah's, Horseshoe Las Vegas, The LINQ, and The Vanderpump Hotel — are part of the deal, along with the Caesars Rewards loyalty program, Caesars Sportsbook, and the company's regional casinos. We cover the bidding war with Carl Icahn, the antitrust concerns over Fertitta also owning the Golden Nugget downtown, and the consumer details that actually matter if you have a Vegas trip on the calendar.
What you'll find out in this video:
• The full deal terms — $31 per share, 49% premium, $17.6 billion total
• Who Tilman Fertitta is and what else he already owns in Las Vegas
• Which eight Caesars Strip properties are part of the deal
• What changes for guests and Caesars Rewards members in 2026 (and what doesn't)
