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, Stardust Casino, mob control, and the largest casino skimming operation in American history.
For nearly 50 years, the Stardust Casino stood as one of the most famous resorts on the Las Vegas Strip. But behind the neon lights and showgirls was a hidden world of organized crime, stolen millions, and violent power struggles.
Built by Tony Cornero in the 1950s, the Stardust quickly became a centerpiece of old Las Vegas. What most visitors never knew was that the casino was secretly controlled by powerful mob families from Chicago, Milwaukee, Cleveland, and Kansas City.
Inside the counting rooms, millions of dollars were quietly skimmed from casino profits before anyone could track the money. At the center of it all was legendary gambler Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal, the man who revolutionized sports betting in Las Vegas while secretly running one of the largest casino skimming operations ever uncovered.
Murders, car bombings, FBI investigations, and the rise of the mob-controlled Vegas empire all led to one of the most famous crime stories in American gambling history.
The story eventually inspired Martin Scorsese’s classic film Casino, starring Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone, and Joe Pesci.
This is the true story of the Stardust Casino — the mob’s greatest Las Vegas operation.
