PHOTOS: Everyone’s getting into the act …
The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas has turned the clock back a century in its search for “just the right amount of wrong.”
“Vegas Nocturne,” the entertainment experience at The Cosmopolitan’s new social club Rose.Rabbit.Lie., has the feel of San Francisco at the turn of the 20th century.
It’s a creation of Spiegelworld, the entertainment group that introduced “Absinthe” to Las Vegas.
“Vegas Nocturne” is jumping into the late-night competition with a concept featuring three nightly and sometimes-naughty cantos (or performances). The acts includes a mix of acrobats, burlesque and vaudeville. There’s even a puppy cannon.
