Several years ago an entertainment professional in VegasVille recalled seeing “Legends In Concert” in the early 1990s at Imperial Palace.

The show had just added living legends to the performance. So we had the likes of Cher, Elton John, Stevie Wonder and Willie Nelson on the roster.

The show was popular among international tourists, many of whom didn’t speak English and were not involved daily entertainment news coverage in the states. They were in the audience to see these legends.

The show played out, and the old I.P. “Legends” theater was rocking. The room had something of an unsteady floor, and it was bouncing because because of the excitement.
