The Rat Pack show at the Plaza is the original and is still the best. But that can all change in the future. But for now, The Plaza Rat Pack is the way to go. The one at the Plaza now has a showroom dinner that they offer as well.
The son of Buddy Hacket was formerly with the Rat Pack at the Plaza, and he just left to form his own group at the Sahara. They are in litigation (see article).------------The Sahara show just began on 19 November. I think there are very few people who have been to both shows. Sahara is a nicer casino than The Plaza, and it is on the strip. If I was staying on the strip I would head that way.------------The lowest price hotels in downtown Las Vegas have simply had their room rates drop through the floor. Binion s, Las Vegas club, and The Plaza are often selling rooms for $20 midweek, and sometimes lower. Binion s was the first to close their hotel this week. They are keeping the casino open, and their hotel across the walkway at four queen s is open. --------------I think that The Plaza or Las Vegas club will probably do the same thing. They are both operated by the same person, so they may just close one of them.
I actually know people in both shows....but my other friends know them better and will have better feedback from having seen/knowing them all even better...so, after the event I m going to tonight (where I ll see most of them) I ll pass on their feedback for you. If they ve got any bargain deals for your group I ll let you know that too...Also, you may want to consider Jersey Boys ...it s a favorite amongst locals and visitors...much more so than the rat pack show(s). Wayne Newton s show is currently in/out at the Tropicana...but it s more of a tribute to him and his past...his voice is basically totally shot (I was at the opening nite of the show, and I m a fan of the legend , but you shouldn t see the show if you re not a fan paying tribute to the legend.)
