One of, if not the most, well known acts in Las Vegas entertainment history was the famous Rat Pack. Their antics were legendary and helped set the stage for what we now call "Sin City." Their show was only a great memory to those lucky enough to see it. Until now. "The Rat Pack Is Back" show at the Plaza Hotel and Casino is a faithful and energetic reproduction of their infamous stunts.

As recently noted by the Las Vegas Shows Reviews blog:

Sammy is on stage next, his shark skin is shiny blue, and he just about takes over the show. And it would be Sammy’s show if Dean didn’t keep butting in and Joey didn’t try so hard to make Sammy look small, but that couldn’t happen to Sammy. “That Old Black Magic” comes out big and as smooth as silk, and “Mr. Bojangles” still brings a sad joy to the heart. There is something electric about Kyle Diamond’s performance. Perhaps it’s the excitement in his eyes and the pure Sammy Davis Jr. energy that he pours out onto the audience. He makes us as glad to be in the audience as he is glad to be on stage. Now that we’ve been blushed by Joey, boozed by Dean, and seduced by Sammy, we know we will not be disappointed with Frank.

In contrast to the goofy antics of his buddies, David DeCosta walks Frank Sinatra on to the stage with an authority that ends all questions to who is the real star. Looking suave in his expensive grey suit with the small red triangle handkerchief in his breast pocket, he commands and corrals the other players into now participating in HIS show.

After he belts out the classic "That's Life", "Frank" brings up the cast to pull up a stoll and sing some songs. It's just like it was in the Copa Room at the Sands in 1962. The performers do a fantastic job of recreating the voices and actions of the legendary entertainers. Some performances feature different cast members and at some shows even a Marilyn Monroe look-a-like joins the festivities!

There's also a dinner package available and the food is quite good! For anyone that longs for the "Old Vegas" and a glimpse into how Vegas started off being the "Entertainment Capitol of the World" The Rat Pack Is Back is simply a show not to miss!

In a town known for it's unique entertainment one of the more interesting shows currently running in Las Vegas is Menopause - The Musical. The show has been running at the Las Vegas Hilton since 2001. It's a 90 minute production that follows the trials and tribulations of four women that are all in the midst of the big "change."

As the Las Vegas Shows Reviews blog recently noted:

Set in Bloomindales in New York City, no menopausal stone is left unturned in this hilarious musical. These four strangers meet in the department store, bond when they realize they’re all going through “The Change,” and become fast friends. The actress is in denial about her age and chalks her mood swings up to being part of the acting process. The businesswoman forgets what she’s supposed to talk about in the meeting she is about to lead, thanks to her menopausal brain fog.

The overweight Iowa housewife hates the physical changes forced on her body and can’t fit into the skimpy lingerie she so desperately wants to buy on her first trip to New York that she hopes will put. Our Earth Mother is way too cranky to successfully meditate any more, so she eats too much and terrorizes her husband instead. The women find relief in their anti-depressants. They all pop a different pill and our hippie downs the St. John’s Wort instead.

Menopause features several hysterical musical numbers that will keep your toes tapping throughout the show. They twist the many famous songs with lyrics that poke fun at such issues like stretch marks, hot flashes and plastic surgery.

The characters are our mothers, our sisters, even us. The characters are captivating and keep the audience captivated throughout the entire show. With their shared experience the ladies form a bond that trancends their own individual lives and which leads them to realize there's no reason to not be happy! At the end the audience is invited onstage to join the party.

Las Vegas has long been known at the "Adult Playground." Part of that reputation is the abundance of "gentleman's clubs" that are here. If there's any ladies have ever dreamed of learning some of the moves that the girls use in the strip clubs, than "Stripper 101" is the show for you. Held in the V theater in the Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino, it's a great way to learn some new moves!

As recently noted by the Las Vegas Shows Reviews blog:

A group comprised mostly of twenty-somethings but including ladies into their 40s and beyond, most of the 20 - 25 attending patrons seem to instinctively dress sexy and skimpy, dressing the part and embracing the “character” even before arriving. The group is lead into a dimly lit, sultry studio, outfitted with a dozen floor and ceiling supported stripper poles, stacks of ballroom chairs and even a roaring fireplace, creating a cozy corner to warm up anyone feeling the chill of the room (intentionally kept cold to cool the roomful of hot proto-strippers to come). Several benches are arranged around the room perimeter, providing seating to those wishing to observe or whose modesty overwhelms them, although at Stripper 101, this problem rarely ever arises.

Leading the class, former stripper Kindra (who, along with Rachel, alternates instruction of this 1 1/2; hour course) offers a brief introduction on her history and experience. Kindra is a spirited hostess with an engaging, warm and playful personality which the attendees quickly respond to. With a true talent for teaching in addition to dancing, Kindra creates an encouraging, comfortable and fun environment, with the atmosphere kept very tasteful and reassuring.

The show is undoubtly naughty but never nasty. It's more R-rated than X-rated and has a strict women-only policy. Photographs are taken throughtout the class which only adds to the excitement of the night. There's no nudity as well and with a vibe of good-natured fun the participants are quickly at easy with instructors that genuinely have a passion for their craft. All are made to feel welcome regardless of age of skill level. It's a great way to spice up your love life or just a fun girls night out. Don't forget your high heels!

Crazy Girls Shows Off The Sexy Side Of Las Vegas

To say that things change here in Las Vegas is an understatment! There's always something new and exciting going on in the entertainment world. One fabulous show which has remained a constant is the Crazy Girls revue at the Riviera Hotel and Casino. For over 20 years this legendary show has entertained millions of people and has secured it's place in Las Vegas history.

As the Las Vegas Shows Reviews blog recently noted:

The closest comparison to defining “Crazy Girls” is similar to what people would expect a classic “Golden Age” Las Vegas show to be. The girls perform a variety of acts that are playful and cheeky to sensual and alluring, set to music from the classic burlesque age to more modern songs. “Crazy Girls” keeps it simple, yet captivating, and for regular show-goers on The Strip, it makes for an experience that isn’t going to be found just anywhere else.

When defining “simple”, this means that the show sticks to its core idea of beautiful, half-naked women without delving into a lot of extraneous side acts. That’s not to say that the entire show is made up of just dancing and beautiful women. The show gives the audience a chance to cool down and be entertained in a new way by offering a series of fun card tricks after the opening act, and a longer comedy magic performance by illusionist Tony Douglas.

Crazy Girls gives you a real feal of being at a classic burlesque show with modern touches. There's not much left these days of the "Old Vegas" we all grew up loving but this show is a great throwback to a time gone by. This is an adult show and no children are allowed. If you're looking for an entertainment experience that's reminicent of how things once were, this is the show for you!

Cirque Du Soliel Mystere Is A Treat For The Senses In Las Vegas

Las Vegas has always been known for it's spectatular entertainment. But one show in particular really upped the ante. When Cirque du Soliel opened Mystere at the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino, it opened up a whole new world for Las Vegas. The show brought a visual & theatrical element that had not been seen here previously. The show opened in 1993 & it's still as exciting today as it was at the grand opening.

As recently noted by the Las Vegas Shows Reviews blog:

Like Alice in Wonderland, this shows feels a bit like falling down a rabbit hole into a mysterious world. Though the tremendous physical acts may be the central focus of the audience, the ringmaster, the jumbo-sized baby who found his “papa”, and the clown bring a unique humor to the show. During the limited breaks for the acrobats, the “clown,” who looks more like Albert Einstein than a bozo with a red nose, attempts to play tricks on audience members. Though he has great fun before the show with throwing popcorn and giving what appears to be unwelcome back massages, this clown has no problem separating a couple in order to woo the lady. Though the ringmaster may take him off stage, these brief interludes between the acrobatic performances only intensify the feeling that you have entered a dream.

When these acrobats return, the audience is again amazed at their athleticism and sheer physical strength. These performers take gymnastics to a level far beyond any Olympic champion, demonstrating the full range of man’s physical capabilities when bravery, dedication, and training morphs into tremendous talent. These men and women are not ordinary circus performers. Instead, they are a shining example of the human spirit.

Mystere tells a story of the power of life and death, and of how over time man has the ability to change. The acrobatics are a strong visual part of the performance, so much so that their literal meaning might be not completely recognized. But make no doubt it is a strong message of the level of humanity that mankind can achieve. The bits of comedy places in key parts of the show are a nice touch to offset the seriousness of the messages portrayed throughout. You'll not soon forget your visit to the "circus" and the tremendous emotional experience of the evening. The show is safe for all ages, so no worries if you want to bring the children. Make Mystere a part of your next Vegas trip and live the dream for yourself!
