According to news reports, Las Vegas’ favorite glam magicians Siegfried and Roy will take their final bows this Saturday night at the Bellagio.

Their show at The Mirage was canceled after Roy’s mauling by one of the show’s white tigers in the fall of 2003. As the headline performers at the Keep Memory Alive gala benefiting the Lou Ruvo Brain Institute, the duo’s final, flourish-filled act can be witnessed for the price of an individual ticket ($1,500 includes dinner prepared by a roster of elite Vegas chefs), and we hear there are plenty still available. ]]> Erika Pope 2009-02-24T09:11:10-05:00 36.1139417 -115.17300 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/12/19/112431/05 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/shapeimage_2.jpg" class="top"><p>It's been a while since we wrote about <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hooters+Casino+Hotel/local/37"><b>Hooters Las Vegas</b></a> but the hotel casino is <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/6/10/9453/18183/hotels/Hooters_Hotel_and_Casino_Lives_Another_Day">still alive</a> and kicking.
