They Just Don’t Make ‘em Like They Used To…

Tonight marked the last public performance of the Folies Bergère at the Tropicana Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.  The show had an almost fifty year-long run at the resort and has seen some unimaginable changes here in town.  I was happy I was able to get a couple of tickets at a two person table in the center for one of tonight’s two performances.
