The Scintas pack a lot of punch into show at The D

The Scintas have been out of the Las Vegas tourist zone for a few years. So if you forgot what an old-Vegas show band is, or what it can pack into a half-hour, let’s catch you up:

After rock bottom, Perez rocking his way back

The second half of the year can only get better for Franky Perez, a Las Vegas favorite who had to put his career on hold after he woke up in a mental ward just before Christmas.

Cast of ‘The 80s Show’ takes off the leg warmers

Las Vegas used to be monotheistic, embracing the Church of Elvis. But Michael Jackson is the new deity in town.

‘Tribute Royalty’ keeping ‘Legends’ on toes

On May 16, 1983, Michael Jackson secured his own legend by dancing to “Billie Jean” on NBC’s “Motown 25” special. It aired two weeks after “Legends in Concert” opened in Las Vegas.

I wasn’t even in Las Vegas last Sunday night. And if I was, I probably would have been turning in and not down at the Plaza at 11 p.m.

This Criss Angel trick seems oddly familiar …

An illusion Criss Angel is staging on Fremont Street for television cameras today sounds extremely familiar to Riviera magician Jan Rouven.

To get tip of the hat, let’s push envelope

It might be spring fever, but there’s something in the air besides pollen and it smells a little like — could it be? — creativity.
