Clarion used to be something else before it was something else. This place has changed more hands than a towel in a Roman bath house. Debbie Reynolds, used to own this hotel once upon a time. She brought all her movie memorabilia from LA and tried her best to make this a glamour spot for visiting Hollywood celebrities. The location failed her and in fact there is some kind of curse put by the ghost of Howard Hughes, who lost his Landmark hotel across the street to Corporate Horders.. It is off the Strip on a drive,frequented by Chinese conventioneer's from Comdex show, who are in a hurry to get to their dim sum on Spring Mountain Rd.
The show room is well appointed with chairs you would only see on the deck of the the Titanic. Luxury cushioned chairs with cup holders to sip your cheap and hot beer that you are obligated in the two drinks minimum deal. After you relax in the seats you are not very convinced you are seeing a Vegas Entertainment Extravaganza.
The show appears to be put together by Ron Meedy and Jerermy Oker or what is called a Medyoker presentation. The title itself does not make any sense "The Shades of Sinatra!" what is that all about ? with three men singers who are probably good individually- but together they are a mess. There is a woman singer to add to the glamour and she is good but she is out of place since she does not sing any Nancy Sinatra songs. They somehow seem to fake the chemistry and it shows in their halfwit banter. The banter makes you cringe into the over stuffed chairs and in fact few from Oklahoma may have disappeared into the cracks over the years.
The singing is better than average that you will see in good Karaoke bar. The production appears to be put together with a shoe string budget and the joke writer was probably not paid and the singers came up with the jokes at the last minute ?
This show is good if you have seen the white tigers and waiting for the bus to take you to the airport (in fact you may be sharing the bus with flight stewardesses who make this their official hotel)
