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.

Tune in now for the latest documentary on the history of Las Vegas from Boyd Productions delves into the 1940's. It is a time historians say the city grew in population, tourism and organized crime. We take you back to that formative decade and hear how the start of the war brought our city together and brought in workers and military from across the country. We hear how the end of the war catapulted our tourism. We also hear how it was the decade when organized crime made a place for itself in Las Vegas.

This is the fourth documentary chronicling our city’s history. Catch up on the other episodes here: https://www.lasvegasnevada.gov/News/Blog/Detail/documentaryserieshistoryoflasvegas
