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.

A man sits down at a Las Vegas slot machine, slides a tiny light up the payout chute, and the coins just keep coming. The machine never knows it paid him a thing.

True story: in the 1990s Tommy Glenn Carmichael beat slot machines in Las Vegas, Atlantic City and riverboat casinos with a homemade "light wand", a tiny bulb powered by a camera battery. Shined up the payout chute, it blinded the optical sensor that counts the coins leaving the hopper, so the machine kept paying without knowing it had paid. He had learned how the machines worked by posing as a customer and getting a manufacturer's engineer to open one for him. On October 4, 1996, security cameras at Circus Circus in Las Vegas watched him, and he dropped his device while trying to get away. The lady at the next machine, the two friends standing like curtains, the security monitor operator and the 1992 scene are dramatized.
