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 popular request, LVIO Is back with another of our features on Las Vegas local dining! Today we do breakfast, lunch and dinner at three spots that are not in the resort corridor, but that we found to be standouts and worth your consideration.
- First, dinner at Emeril Lagasse's new offering, aimed at Henderson locals, called Meril.
- Next, lunch at the only restaurant in town that features authentic West African cooking, called Calabash African Kitchen.
- And last, we do breakfast at a local spot close to home called Keke's Cafe.
