"This year’s production, in line with the current Las Vegas trends, is kid-friendly (even including a teenage heartthrob boy band) and features musical tributes to Vegas classics such as The Temptations and Elvis as well as current popular musical acts like Madonna and Justin Beiber," Costoulas said.
New to the show this year are homage to Wayne Newton and Celine Dion.
