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.

1963. Two college sweethearts, Steve and Elaine Wynn, get married with little more than ambition. Together, they help build Las Vegas into a luxury empire—creating The Mirage, Bellagio, and Wynn Las Vegas. By the 2000s, their fortune is worth billions. Then comes heartbreak. After 23 years of marriage, they divorce in 1986. Five years later, they do the unthinkable: they marry each other again in 1991. It doesn’t last. In 2010, they divorce a second time, setting off years of legal battles over Wynn Resorts stock worth more than $2 billion. Few couples build an empire together. Even fewer break it apart twice. In Las Vegas, the house usually wins. But sometimes, nobody does.
