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.

Before the billion-dollar empire. Before the magazine covers. Before the most-watched reality show in cable television history — Kim Kardashian was carrying Paris Hilton's bags through the back entrance of a Las Vegas nightclub. And nobody in the room knew her name.
This is the story most people have never heard. Not the tape. Not the show. The years before all of that — the secret chapel wedding at nineteen, the invisible apprenticeship in Las Vegas nightclub back rooms, and the moment Kim Kardashian figured out something Paris Hilton never did.
Las Vegas was there at every inflection point. From the Little White Chapel in 2000 to the megaclub circuit in 2006, from the bachelorette party at TAO to the SKIMS flagship at The Venetian — the city that runs on excess and spectacle gave Kim Kardashian an education that no business school could have provided.
This is the Vegas Untold version of that story.
