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.

Las Vegas is the most surveilled, most regulated, most obsessively controlled financial environment on earth. And these nine people found a crack in it anyway.

From a 20-year mob skim inside the Stardust count room, to a garage engineer who reprogrammed slot machines from the inside, to a state regulator who turned his own access into a cheat code — these are the 9 biggest cons in Las Vegas history. Some were criminal masterminds. Some were just desperate. One of them was run by the man whose entire job was to make sure it never happened.

The house always wins. Mostly.
