Old Fashioned Show In Las Vegas?

We are taking European guests to Las Vegas for a few nights next month. What is the best show to book for the Old Las Vegas feel, with show girls and music? The have requested this, and I am at a loss. Thanks.

If they explicitely requested an old-fashioned show, I would take them to see Jubilee, although my wife and I did not like it (maybe because we're in our upper 20's - not 60's)

There are two shows that fit the bill. One is "Jubilee" showing at Bally's and the other is "Follies" showing at The Tropicana. They are both Las Vegas Show girl shows. Very pretty. "Jubilee" has everything including a scene from Samson and Deliah and the sinking of the Tiatanic"
. I recently saw Jubilee again. The costumes were pretty. I remember really liking "Follies", but it has been years since I have seen it. You can't go wrong with either show. AT Bally's, do not pay extra for table seating. It is too close to the stage.Book the theater type seating that is back further from the stage. Ask for front row theater type seating, if available. At "Folies", ask for booth seating. Hope this info helps. Have fun in Vegas.

Thanks I will look into these shows. For another night how about Sigfried and Roy? Does that fit the bill?

None of my business of course, but its funny to see people wanting to attend an 'old-fashioned' show - not 'best' show.

Another vote for Mystere and O.

Well, coming from Europe I suppose they want to see a traditional "Vegas show". I loved Mystere years ago, but it could be seen anywhere, not like showgirls with plumes and fishnets. They are interested in the old days of Vegas with gangsters, etc. I don't know what they have learned in Europe, but they also want to see Chicago where the St. Valentine Day Massacre happened!

The Rat Pack show at the Sahara has closed and has been replaced by Charo. She puts on a good show, with some terrific classical guitar, but no show girls. A lot of cuchi-cuchi but no showgirls.

I too would pick Legends in Concert at the Imperial Palace for European guests. They are sure to be familiar with Madonna, Elvis etc and should enjoy the impersonations.
