Fodor's Expert Review Legends in Concert
Editor's Note: This property is currently undergoing renovations.
The durable Legends has been on the Strip since 1983, which now makes it the longest-running show in Las Vegas. It inspired dozens of imitators over the years, but its production values and prominence on the Strip shrank as the big shows got bigger. In its latest home at the Tropicana, Legends adheres to the same basic formula of "miniconcerts" by a rotating lineup of celebrity impersonators, from Elvis to Lady Gaga. There's no lip-syncing and always a live band. Longtime Las Vegas visitors will find it symbolic and somehow natural that drag star Frank Marino has been hosting the show of late; he showed up in town about the same time as Legends, so his tenure in shows such as La Cage is about the only thing that rivals its longevity.
