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 Dark and Forbidden Pleasures of Ancient Rome ????????

Picture this: You are walking down a narrow street in Pompeii at night. You follow a glowing arrow scratched into the pavement, leading you to a doorway where the Romans break every single rule they pretend to follow in public. Behind that door lies a world of gambling, toxic love potions, and dangerous entertainment.

In this video, we pull back the curtain on the hidden, dark, and wild nightlife of Ancient Rome. We’ll explore the scandalous streets of Pompeii, bizarre dinner parties where rich hosts served honey-roasted rodents, and a horrifying theater play where the actors actually died on stage!

You will also discover why Emperor Claudius bolted a gambling table to his royal carriage, the terrifying fish ponds of Vedius Pollio (where slaves were fed to giant eels), and the wild resort town of Baiae—the ancient equivalent of Las Vegas, which is now completely underwater.

After watching this, you’ll realize that the Romans were cruel, funny, greedy, and shockingly similar to us today. Let us know in the comments: Would you have survived a Roman dinner party? ????
