Las Vegas NV: Enjoy Vintage Sinatra & Pals PDF Print E-mail


Have you had enough of the squawking, barking, twerking, cursing and screaming that passes for music these days? If your senior memories require it, take a nostalgic trip to Sin City to enjoy the soothing sounds of the Sinatra era.

After starring at the Sands (now the Venetian) through the 1950s, Sinatra performed for several years at the then-new Caesars Palace. You can recapture some memories of that era. For an evening of the music of Frank and pals, visit the Matt Goss Throwback Show there. With an excellent band, exotic dancers and singers, Matt performs the great listenable Sinatra tunes of the era on Friday and Saturday evenings. Tickets start at $50. caesarspalace.com

Another Vegas program, appropriately called The Rat Pack is Back, is featured nightly at the Rio. Singers onstage recreate the music and antics of Sinatra and his pals, backed by melodic Big Band era sounds. Tickets start at $50. riolasvegas.com
