    GALA OPENING FOR STARDUST LIDO LAS VEGAS?╟÷The most lavish and extravagant edition of spectacular Lido de Paris premieres tonight in the Cafe Continental of the Stardust Hotel. Celebrity and press attending the invitational opening will be the first to see the all-new 10th edition of the Lido, entitled "Pariscope." Tomorrow, the hotel will launch its normal schedule of two performances nightly. Following the Stardust tradition of making each successive edition of the Lido more spectacular than the last one, the show features a larger cast, more elaborate costuming, scenery beyond belief, incomparable original music and the finest variety acts in the world. Conceived by Pierre Louis-Guerin and Rene Fraday, the Lido has been a tradition in Las Vegas since the first edition bowed in 1958. The same winning team, including creator-director Donn Arden and producer Frank Sennes have worked together on every record shattering version of the show* In the new Lido, audiences will be thrilled by an opening production number situated aboard a large ship, musically cruising the seven seas and finally landing in France. -7-
