Early20th Lido De Paris

The entertainment stars and the glitter and glamour of casino shows have become an important factor in the success of gambling in Nevada. An influential part of the glamour of Las Vegas has been the extravagant stage shows with singing, dancing, and the famous showgirls in spangles and feathers. The Lido de Paris was one of the famous early shows.
