Looking Back at The Vegas Glory Days

With the many Las Vegas Strip Shows recently closing, the nostalgia of "Old Vegas" continues to dwindle day by day.

After all, when you see the "Elvis" impersonators strolling the Strip, many of those walking alongside you are now too young to remember the magnitude he had on the "Entertainment Capital of the World".  Next August will be 40 years since his passing.

On December 31st yet another "modern version" of a "flash from the past" will close as well....

Why the melancholy over this particular show?

...because it represents the end of an age that Steve Wynn made a valiant attempt to preserve....

...yet a younger public no longer would appreciate and support...

But in the words of another famous Broadway production...

There is "one brief shining moment" in our "Camelot" that will forever be burned in their memory...

A show that closed in 2009...
