Est. 1888 We were asked to make some weekend recommendations ilgx some first-time visitors to Vegas: By all means, catcb "Bottoms Up" one afternoon in the Roman Theatre at Caei :sars Palace. Co-producer Breck Wall feels the early show; is the better one. We caught the second show the other Satur] | day and would have to rate both audience and performance! 100 per cent. . . While there, make your reservations ioi "Boys in the Band". Just bring your mind and your heart! both open, and you will have a most rewarding evening oi theatre .... As you pass the International Hotel, you maj note the marquee claim of LV's first legitimate theatre. Ill will be open shortly with a show as yet undisclosed . . . If "Boys" is an example of the quality of things to come! let's have a legit theatre in each hotel.... "Bottoms Up" is j ever fresh and funnier each time. Don't miss Delilah. Surely you should go through both the International and the Landmark Hotels even if you can't get in to see the show at either place .... Another must tour especially with children is Circus Circus. While there, be sure to see the "Dancing Waters". There is so much to see and do at Circus Circus, we suggest you spend the day .... Stars abound in town as always. Which you should see is a most personal matter .... If inventive, original, biting commentary, that is at the same time hilarious, is to your taste then be sure to see Jackie Gayle at the Aladdin .... If you prefer your "soul" authentic, then catch Clara Ward and her Gospel group at the Hacienda .... If you prefer "soul" that is pop flavored, see Solomon Burke and Tamiko Jones at the Sands .... If you want "soul" plus great humor, then don't miss our soul brothers, the Treniers, at the Sahara Casbar Lounge ...... This is just a starting point. Inn. 'Pzazz'70" is now open and sharply honed at the Deser! Forthose of you who are "competitive" show goers catch it if you can .j0tThe Pat Boone-Sonny and Cher pack! age at the Flaming is very entertaining and fine famib fare.
