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 celebrity restaurants were once one of the biggest attractions on the Strip, but in 2026, the famous name alone may no longer be enough.

In this video, we look at the decline of celebrity chef restaurants in Las Vegas, from Gordon Ramsay and Guy Fieri to Wolfgang Puck, Nobu, José Andrés and Salt Bae. With Vegas restaurant prices climbing, fewer visitors coming to the city, and several high-profile restaurants closing, tourists are becoming much more selective about where they spend their money.

We break down the eye-watering prices at some of the Strip's best-known restaurants, including $30+ sandwiches, expensive steaks and tasting menus approaching $200 per person. We also look at the closures of Nusr-Et Las Vegas, International Smoke, Julian Serrano Tapas and Rivea.

Most importantly, which Las Vegas celebrity restaurants are actually worth the money? We look at Hell's Kitchen, Spago, CUT, Nobu and other famous restaurants to separate the genuinely memorable Vegas experiences from places where you may simply be paying a celebrity premium.
