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.

By the mid-1970s, the Chicago Outfit was pulling millions of dollars out of Las Vegas — and almost no one in law enforcement had any idea. The money never appeared in ledgers. It moved in paper bags and briefcases, hand to hand, boss to boss, across nearly 2,000 miles of American highway.
This is the story of the Stardust Casino, the most sophisticated financial crime in mob history, and the men who ran it — Joey Aiuppa, Frank Rosenthal, and a quiet San Diego real estate developer who became the mob's perfect front man.
For nearly a decade, they fooled the federal government, Nevada regulators, and the entire casino industry. This is how they did it.
