Return to Classic Las Vegas - Vegas! The Show


Journey back in time to the days of Elvis, Sammy Davis Junior and a young Wayne Newton just starting out.  Experience a full band on stage, including a horn section and percussion, the way it used to be.

Last night was my first time seeing this long standing show located in the Miracle Mile at Planet Hollywood Casino.  I didn't know much about it, which I prefer, but I did know it was a tribute to the old days.   I like to be as surprised as possible when I go see a show and this one did not let me down.

I love the intimate theater.  There is no bad seat in the house and no matter where you are located, you'll feel right in the middle of the action.  There is so much happening, you'll want to see it again just to make sure you saw it all.

If you think back to the days of grand stair cases, classic song and dance numbers and a tight group of musicians backing the whole thing up, you'll want to see Vegas!  The show.  I will say that this show moves fast.  The songs blend from one to another very quickly and the many costume and stage changes are many.  The show runs like a well oiled machine.  Well, except for the fire alarm that someone set off in the casino, causing the show to abruptly pause until things were sorted out but, like the pros they are, the show didn't skip a beat.

The show is light hearted and fun from beginning to end.  There are a couple comedic acts but I don't want to spoil those for you.  ;) What I love most is they they do not try to costume the iconic celebrities to make you think you are actually seeing them.  They represent who they were in those captured moments.
