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.

Las Vegas was the party capital of the world. Now a famous Strip nightclub is closing with no replacement planned, Drai’s has traded its rooftop for a basement about a fifth the size, and Wet Republic is gone. Meanwhile, XS just reopened with a $150,000 table minimum.

In this video, we break down what’s really happening to Vegas nightlife: the clubs that are shrinking, the pool parties that got rebranded, the casual bars that disappeared, and the visitor numbers behind it all. Is the party actually dead, or did it just stop inviting regular visitors?

What’s the most you’ve ever paid for one drink on the Strip? Let us know in the comments.
