| - My husband and I are big Rat Pack fans and were so excited to see this show. We were pretty surprised to find that the Tuscany Suites are off-strip and very quiet. Very nice looking hotel, but not what we were expecting from a show like this.
The Copa Room where the show is performed is SO SMALL. We felt like we were sitting in the laps of the folks sharing our tiny Ikea style table. The mini showroom was packed, and the show started with a poor quality video projection showing clips of the real Rat Pack, Liberace, Debbie Reynolds performing years ago.
There was no opening act, and then the guys came on stage to do their stuff. Sinatra was a pretty good singer, though looks nothing like Frank and didn't have much personality. Sammy was pretty generic, not a great singer, didn't sound or look much like him (Billy Crystal did it better in the 80's, sweetheart.) Dean Martin was the real hit of the show, the guy's really attractive, looks a lot like young Dean, and his speaking voice and mannerisms are great. Nobody can match Dean's velvety singing, and singing was not this guy's strong suit. But his overall performance was funny, likeable and charming, we really enjoyed him.
Drinks in this place are REALLY EXPENSIVE. $5 for a bottle of Coors. $10 for a really bad and tasteless martini.
If tickets had been about $30 each instead of $60, the price would be worth it, but it really felt like a talent show in someone's garage, so $60 was pretty steep.
