Las Vegas Strip resort casino closing another long-running show
Traditional Las Vegas Strip entertainment has struggled, given the many big name performers playing each week.
The Las Vegas Strip has seemingly been changing at an accelerated rate.
That's partially because consumer demand has shifted. Many types of entertainment that used to dominate the Strip have gone away.
There are, for example, no more showgirl shows, and those used to be a major part of the Las Vegas entertainment community. Similarly, shows like "Legends in Concert," which was a Strip staple for decades, have closed without finding a new home.

In addition, the Strip hosts very few magicians, as that form of entertainment has stopped being a major draw. Yes, a big headliner like Criss Angel still has his place on the Las Vegas Strip (when he wants it), but magic itself has become less of a draw.
Las Vegas, at least the bigger players, have also generally said goodbye to impersonators, ventriloquists, and even comedy, aside from major headliners. When your city routinely has some of the biggest names in music performing residencies, it's very difficult to draw a crown with a Michael Jackson or Dolly Parton impersonator.
