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.

The $400 million Harmon Tower disaster is one of the biggest construction failures in Las Vegas history.
This Las Vegas documentary reveals why it was built… and why it was secretly destroyed.
This is the untold story of the Harmon Tower — the $400 million disaster that Las Vegas quietly erased.
In the middle of the most expensive private development in U.S. history, a single building became a catastrophic failure. Hidden structural flaws, billion-dollar lawsuits, and one impossible decision: fix it… or make it disappear.
What followed wasn’t a dramatic implosion.
It was something far stranger.
A slow, silent demolition in the heart of a fully operating mega-resort — while thousands of tourists walked by without realizing they were witnessing the destruction of one of the biggest construction failures ever.
From the rise of CityCenter to the shocking engineering mistake that doomed the project, this documentary reveals how Las Vegas handles failure when the stakes are too high to admit it.
And how a $400 million building became… a parking lot.
