I’m surprised that the Tropicana, The Riviera and Circus Circus are still standing.

Useless thread without visual evidence...I shall refrain from further comments until this injustice has been rectified.

The topless revue "Les Folies Bergere" is hanging up its feathers after 49 years....

After 49 years one would think they would be hanging down?

Obviously what was hot 49 years ago just isn’t cutting it anymore. At least some of those old gals will get a well deserved rest now.

I saw Jubilee many years ago and it really sucked. It was all canned music and lip synching.... waste of money.
