On Thursday, July 11, the Neon Museum of Las Vegas will host a "Times of the Signs: Stardust Showgirls" panel discussion. The discussion is open to the public but reservations are required in advance. “Times of the Signs” programs take place in the famous Neon Boneyard and consist of illuminating lectures, panel discussions, presentations or performances.
This special evening will commemorate the 55th anniversary of the opening of the Stardust Hotel & Casino. Opening on July 2, 1958, the Stardust was famous for its lavish French-style production show Lido de Paris, which ran until 1991 and was then replaced by Enter the Night, an updated production show with Broadway-styled theatrics.
Panelists participating include former Enter the Night showgirl-turned-attorney Akee Levin; Joyce Marshall Moore, oral historian, University of Nevada Las Vegas and Lisa Gioia Acres, historian and author, College of Southern Nevada. Dr. Michael Greene, professor, Department of Social Sciences, College of Southern Nevada will moderate the evening’s discussion.
The evening will begin with a meet-and-greet with the panelists for Neon Museum members only at 6:15 p.m. The program will begin promptly at 7 p.m. Light refreshments will be available in the La Concha reception area.
Space is limited and attendees must RSVP in advance by emailingRSVP@neonmuseum.org or by calling (702) 387-2820 (callers are asked to leave their name and how many tickets they will need). Admission is a suggested donation of $5 per attendee.
