May/June 2008
The first thought that entered my mind after seeing Eldorado’s latest show, “FloorPlay,” was: “How does the cast keep dancing, spinning, twirling, flipping, and sweating for so long?” “The excitement of doing the dances we love is enough to bring the energy out of us,” says dancer Robin Windsor.

Entertainer Terry Fator is one of the newest, and most unusual, showroom headliners in the Silver State.

"Spamalot” at Wynn Las Vegas is a feast for comedy and Monty Python fans—it’s outrageously silly and wonderfully mad. The musical is 90 minutes of pure nonsense from the dancing and singing corpses to the Drive-Up Love Chapel, a take-off on Las Vegas’ drive-through wedding chapel.
