Trust me when I say you can spend a fab night in Las Vegas without even getting a stamp in your passport\u2026 sans the jetlag! Magic, legendary musical greats, crazy amazing juggling, and Vegas showgirls (and boys!) will dazzle you into believing you\u2019re in the middle of the Nevada desert in five minutes flat.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"pinkLinks\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_32823\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/images.trvl-media.com\/media\/content\/expaus\/images\/last-minute\/blog\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Vegas-glitter-strip.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32823\" class=\"wp-image-32823 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/images.trvl-media.com\/media\/content\/expaus\/images\/last-minute\/blog\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Vegas-glitter-strip.jpg\" alt=\" \" width=\"480\" height=\"720\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-32823\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vegas glitter strip<\/p><\/div>\n<p>It all starts with Dean Martin. The spotlight circles in on his doppelganger (David Cotter) standing before the plush red curtain kissing the stage at his heels, for a taste of The King of Cool\u2019s iconic big band style and sassy swing-like beats. \u201cEverybody loves somebody sometimes\u2026\u201d I\u2019m immediately transported to 1960s America, live band and all. So. Damn. Cool.<\/p>\n<p>Then with a swish of the curtain, a parade of Vegas showgirls strut onto the stage in sparkling teeny weeny G-strings and gorgeous diamante-clustered bras, made all the more tiny by their huge feather headdresses and luscious fantails. High kicks, spins and ritzy moves ensue (how, with that costume, I have no clue), followed by a wardrobe change at the click of their manicured fingers.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_32820\" style=\"width: 693px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/images.trvl-media.com\/media\/content\/expaus\/images\/last-minute\/blog\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Las-Vegas-dancing-girl.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32820\" class=\"wp-image-32820 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/images.trvl-media.com\/media\/content\/expaus\/images\/last-minute\/blog\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Las-Vegas-dancing-girl-683x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"  \" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-32820\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Las Vegas dancing girl<\/p><\/div>\n<p>From there, it\u2019s a fashion-lovers dream ensemble of everything from sexy chokers, gloves and intricate headpieces to colourful dresses, skirts and even some cowgirl getup\u2026 oh, and more feathers and sparkling jewels. Every era from salsa, ballroom, ballet, rock\u2019n\u2019roll and swing come to life on the stage (the Copacabana outfit is to die for!). In between, Dean Martin reappears to sway the audience with his soothing soulful sounds, while the King of Rock\u2019n\u2019Roll himself, Elvis, amps the show up a notch (played by \u2018Aussie Elvis\u2019, Dean Vegas). He has a few fab iconic costume changes of his own!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_32831\" style=\"width: 692px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/images.trvl-media.com\/media\/content\/expaus\/images\/last-minute\/blog\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Micheeal-Boyd-.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32831\" class=\"wp-image-32831 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/images.trvl-media.com\/media\/content\/expaus\/images\/last-minute\/blog\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Micheeal-Boyd--682x1024.jpeg\" alt=\" \" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-32831\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Michael Boyd<\/p><\/div>\n<p>But no Vegas show could possibly be \u2018ultimate\u2019 without a little magic. And thanks to Michael Boyd, who\u2019s also the mastermind behind the whole show, I\u2019m left cocking my head and wondering \u2018how did he do that?\u2019 for days. Women disappearing, rabbits appearing in hats and, you know, untangling cuffed wrists and magically escaping the firey box and then popping up in the middle of the audience\u2026 all that crazy stuff! You might even remember some of his tricks and illusions from Australia\u2019s Got Talent 2013.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/images.trvl-media.com\/media\/content\/expaus\/images\/last-minute\/blog\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Michael-Boyd-2.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32821 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/images.trvl-media.com\/media\/content\/expaus\/images\/last-minute\/blog\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Michael-Boyd-2-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\" \" width=\"960\" height=\"639\" \/><\/a>\n<p>But the real show-stealer is no doubt the brilliant Romano Frediani, all the way from Vegas \u2013 like, the real Vegas! Who would have thought juggling could be so cool? He has the whole audience in awe and fits of laughter as he manoeuvres balls, rings and blocks with dance moves and hilarious lines. It leaves me thinking: \u2018this guy is crazy!\u2019 And he refuses to leave the stage until he catches all four rings (with his head!) in order, flung onto the stage by audience members. It\u2019s a whole new type of magic.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_32822\" style=\"width: 692px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/images.trvl-media.com\/media\/content\/expaus\/images\/last-minute\/blog\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Romano-Frediani.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32822\" class=\"wp-image-32822 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/images.trvl-media.com\/media\/content\/expaus\/images\/last-minute\/blog\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Romano-Frediani-682x1024.jpeg\" alt=\" \" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-32822\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Romano Frediani<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Vegas is one of those desties that\u2019s been slowly climbing up my list for years.
