From the Greek Isles site:

This spirited and spooky ghost tour will take you to the haunting grounds of Bugsy Siegel, Liberace, Redd Foxx and Elvis. Robert Allen, creator of Haunted Vegas Tours now makes it possible to visit such eerie sites by offering a guided Tour and Show, featuring Sin City's Darkest Ghostly Secrets.

According to Allen, who consulted with Tim Cridland, a paranormal historian and Janice Oberding, author of the book "Haunted Nevada," there are more than 21 places where paranormal activity has been documented in Las Vegas.

The tour covers such sites as the "Motel of Death," where numerous celebrity deaths have occurred and the former home of a Las Vegas legend where his ghost continues to haunt despite numerous attempts to exorcise it.

Reservations:
Call 800-222-5361, or Reserve your tickets online now!

Description:
Menopause The Musical is a true phenomenon; the Las Vegas production is one of 11 permanent shows in the US that have sprung out of a show that was originally performed in 2001 to an Orlando, FL theater that seated only 76. Its focus on a common theme has made it a sell-out hit everywhere it has played, including the Las Vegas Hilton.

From the Las Vegas Hilton site:

Inspired by a hot flash and a bottle of wine, Writer/Producer Jeanie Linders created the show as a celebration of women who are on the brink of, in the middle of, or have survived "The Change." Since its first performance, the show has evolved as a "grassroots" movement of women who deal with life after 40 and all the challenges that result in the mental, physical and spiritual freedom of the post-World War II baby boomer generation.

According to The New York Times, "[Menopause The Musical] has no trouble winning over its audience...because elsewhere the subject is almost never treated with humor from the woman's point of view."

Description:
Fashionistas, based on an adult film, tells the tale of a love triangle in the fashion industry. Although this isn't a topless revue, there are plenty of erotic dance moves and and steamy simulated sex scenes which reference the show's roots in the adult film industry. Be sure to check out the song list, video clips, and more at the Fashionistas website.

From the Fashionistas website:

The Fashionistas is a gender-blending erotic extravaganza and a unique entertainment option never before seen on the Las Vegas Strip. With what critics call a "muscular and aggressive" staging technique, a hard-driving soundtrack, imaginative and unique costumes, and a humorous and sly story line, the Fashionistas pushes the envelope of human form, fashion and spectacle in high style.

Utilizing music from Evanescence, Madonna, Tool, Lords of Acid, Crystal Method, and Led Zeppelin, the story is told in dance through the mood and words of each song, as well as through the use of dramatic images projected on large video screens.

Description:
Husband and wife team Marty Allen and Karon Kate Blackwell combine the comedic talents of Allen ('Ed Sullivan Show', 'Hollywood Squares') with the music of Blackwell, an accomplished singer and pianist.


From the Gold Coast site:

Comedian Marty Allen and singer, songwriter and straight woman Karon Kate are still one of the best comedy/straight routines in the entertainment industry. When you see the show, you will see that he is the Marty Allen of 40 years ago.

One of the reasons for the success of their show is its spontaneity. "Karon has no idea each show what I'm going to say or do. Even the parts that I write, I try to keep fresh. I constantly add new lines so the routines aren't the same," says Marty.

One of Karon's most popular songs is Wedding Wows. It became so popular, she recorded an album and included the song. Her first album, titled simply Karon Kate Blackwell, included Wedding Wows and several familiar songs such as ode To Billie Joe and God Bless The U.S.A. One single, I Can't Laugh was a Cashbox 'pick of the week' selection in August 1994.

Both Marty and Karon say that when they are on stage, they don't think about the fact that they are married. Rather, they just focus on each other's talents. There's a natural dynamic and chemistry whey they perform. Just what keeps Marty going at 85 years old? Duracell batteries, says Karon.
