Ive lived in Vegas and Ive seen some great shows but nothing I'd considered "classic" or "old school" Vegas until I saw Shades of Sinatra.
These arent impersonators, these are great singers and story tellers who celebrate and educate their audience with the genius talent and semi destructive life of the one and only Frank Sinatra.
Im not a huge fan as Im a bit young to remember him in his glory so it wasnt surprising to me that I only recognized a few songs in their entire set. The senior citizens sharing our table seemed to know them all and even caught themselves singing along. (Its encouraged to participate in the introduction)
We were sitting front row and one of the men singled out my gf and not only sung her a love song but Even came out into the audience and danced her along the aisle. The show was great, the venue was classic and nostalgic without the typical vegas cheese. Its worth the extra coin to go VIP and get one of the booths but our basic tickets had us sitting front and center so if you cant afford it dont worry there most likely isnt a bad seat in the house.
Oh, they said the AC waa broken so it was HOT in there and we were dressed up and sweating like crazy. If the Ed Sullivan theater in NYC (tonight show with david Letterman) is the coldest theater in the world this one may just be the warmest and the answer to the equal and opposite reaction(like how I snuck Newton in on you)
At the meet and great all of the performers were happy to sit and talk with their quests. The one who made my gf part of the show thanked me 1000 times for being cool with how he was hitting on my GF and said he has had some bfs want to kick his butt afterwards. If this happens to you play along and take pride your GF was hot enough to be selected for this honor and trust me your date will pay you back for it later that night!
Tickets are relatively cheap for a show and if you have a free night and want a trip back to classic Vegas you have to give this show a try!
