A longtime Strip fixture is ending its run at Tropicana.<\/p>\n
“Legends in Concert” closes at Trop on Dec. 30, 2022.<\/p>\n
“Legends in Concert” has been at Trop for four years, and is expected to open at another venue soon.<\/p>\n
“Legends in Concert” is a great way to see your favorite artists, living or dead, on the cheap.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
“Legends in Concert” has pretty much always been the go-to tribute show in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
The most recent iteration of the show was an Elvis-themed version of the production, “Back in the Building.” The show featured three Elvis impersonators.<\/p>\n
We’re pretty sure “Legends” went the Elvis route as a cost-cutting measure (the cast and band were trimmed), but unconfirmed.<\/p>\n
Apparently, “Legends” didn’t get the memo Elvis isn’t really a thing in Vegas anymore. Sorry, die-hards, just a little reality check. Big Elvis at Harrah’s is the only Elvis we need moving forward.<\/p>\n
Anyway, we’ve always enjoyed “Legends in Concert,” and it defied expectations by having a healthy run at Tropicana, where so many other shows failed before it.<\/p>\n
“Legends” had a Gaga before Las Vegas had the actual Gaga.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
“Tropicana curse” doesn’t really apply to “Legends,” as a four-year run is respectable. It’s just that with Tropicana, shows have to do more heavy lifting on the marketing side.<\/p>\n
Other shows that have tried and failed at Trop include “Raiding the Rock Vault,” magician Murray Sawchuck and even “Mamma Mia.” “Mamma Mia” ran at Mandalay Bay for six years, but lasted a paltry three months at Tropicana.<\/p>\n
Oh, and we can’t forget magician Jan Rouven. His run ended at Tropicana after he was arrested and convicted for possession and distribution of child pornography. Voila, career and freedom vanished. Rouven got 20 years in prison<\/a>.<\/p>\n
