    Default Vegas topless show closes after 49-year run

    ...at least we still have the vegas strip clubs.

    LAS VEGAS (AP) — The topless revue "Les Folies Bergere" is hanging up its feathers after 49 years at the Tropicana hotel-casino. Casino executives announced Thursday that the show will close March 28 to make room for an undisclosed new production.

    The closing will leave Bally's "Jubilee!" as the last full-scale showgirl revue left on the Las Vegas Strip. Showgirl productions have fallen out of favor with Cirque du Soleil dominating entertainment on the Strip in recent years. "Folies" came from Paris in 1959 and opened under then-Tropicana entertainment director Lou Walters, the father of newswoman Barbara Walters.

    ...the bad thing is that I've lived in vegas for 12 (my god... has it been THAT long?) years now, and I've never been.

    I guess I better get off of my ass then.

    The only showgirl revue still running is Jubilee. Its been running for close to 30 years. Folies Berge is much better I'd see it before it closes, Berge was the first topless show girl revue to open in Vegas. Its a fantastic piece of staging and choreography.
