    ENTERTAINMENT Page 3 For the past several years Las Vegas show producers have known the importance of a typically French fare to attract show- goers. Today there are three such revues, the famous French "Folies Bergere," the "Casino de Paris" and the elegant "Lido de Paris." Along with this continental flavor, it is not unusual to drive along the Strip or in downtown "Casino Center" to see the names of top Hollywood, Broadway and TV luminaries on hotel marquees. This delectable entertainment menu is subject to change on a week-to-week basis, where other individual stars such as Red Skelton will appear in one hotel and Lisa Minnelli or her mother, Judy Garland, in another, almost within earshot of one another. Frank Sinatra, Jr., and his dad have appeared at the same time, at different hotels, All this wealth of entertainment is served up continuously every day of the week. The usual pattern among the showroom restaurants is to present a dinner show starting about 8 p.m., then a late show about midnight* Some hotels offer "late-late" shows on Friday and Saturday nights beginning about 2 a.m. There is never an admission charge or the need for tickets, but it is advisable that reservations be made as far in advance as possible, usually with a simple phone call to the office of the hotel's maitre'd.
