The art of imitation is at the very core of the classic Las Vegas show. And just how good a person is at their craft determines their shelf life no matter what forms of entertainment are here today and gone tomorrow. The art form of the female impersonator is one of those genres that isn’t to be taken lightly. They have survived the years of changes and fads on the Strip, despite their classic shtick—the often over-the-top renditions of some of the most iconic celebrities like Cher and Bette Midler and the vintage ladies, Liza Minnelli and Judy Garland. From padded shoulders and hair sprayed to the heavens, these talented impersonators recreate those bigger than life personalities for the stage and do it well—that is part and parcel to iconic shows like “An Evening at La Cage.”

Laughlin boasts nightclubs a plenty for people who want to blow off some steam dancing and listening to music bursting with energy until the wee hours of the morning.

Gretchen Wilson has always kept her eye on the ball when it comes to the things that matter in her life. She does what she has to when it comes to her family, even if it means putting her own career on hold.

You’d think a guy and his piano rolling into Nashville wouldn’t be that crazy of an idea, but it didn’t seem like country music was going to give Phil Vassar a chance.
It didn’t matter that other guys with pianos found all kinds of success, but apparently there was a shift in Nashville’s way of thinking in the late 1990s. They didn’t think anyone would be interested. Boy, oh boy, were they dead wrong.
Vassar’s songwriting ability didn’t seem to turn heads at first either, but he wasn’t about to take no for an answer from a label executive who wouldn’t know a good song if he was sitting on it.
