Jubilee!

Frommer's Review

A classic Vegas spectacular, crammed with singing, dancing, magic, acrobats, elaborate costumes and sets, and, of course, bare breasts. It's a basic revue, with production numbers featuring homogenized versions of standards (Gershwin, Cole Porter, some Fred Astaire numbers) sometimes sung live, sometimes lip-synced, and always accompanied by lavishly costumed and frequently topless showgirls. Humorous set pieces about Samson and Delilah, and the sinking of the Titanic (!) show off some pretty awesome sets. They were doing the Titanic long before a certain movie, and recent attendees claimed the ship-sinking effect on stage here was better than the one in the movie. The finale features aerodynamically impossible feathered and bejeweled costumes and headpieces designed by Bob Mackie. So what if the dancers are occasionally out of step, and the action sometimes veers into the dubious (a Vegas-style revue about a disaster that took more than 1,000 lives?) or even the inexplicable (a finale praising beautiful and bare-breasted girls suddenly stops for three lines of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"?). Note that Jubilee! offers a marvelous backstage walking tour Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays at 11am. Saturday through Thursday at 7:30 and 10:30pm.
