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.

Vegas casinos used to fight for your business. They handed you free rooms, comped your meals, brought your drinks before you finished the last one. The deal was simple. You played, the house took care of you. Both sides won.

That deal is gone. And almost nobody noticed when it died.

Over the last fifteen years, Las Vegas quietly rewrote the oldest promise in gambling. The free room turned into a resort fee. The comp turned into a discount. The drink turned into a tip. The host who used to know your name got replaced by a database that knows your number. And the regular tourist, the loyal customer who built this city, got reclassified into a revenue source.

This is the story of how it happened, who decided it, and where all that hospitality actually went. Because the comps did not disappear. They just stopped being for you.

If you have been coming to Vegas for years and feel like something changed but you cannot quite put your finger on what, this video puts a name on it.

Share this with someone who still thinks their players card means something. They need to hear this before their next trip.
