For more than half a century, country king George Jones has ruled at the top, and he’s still going strong, performing more than 100 concerts annually on the road!

Last night, George, 77, kicked off the first of two nights of sold-out shows at the Silverton Casino Lodge, and scalpers couldn’t even buy tickets to resell at a profit. George’s fans ensured that they grabbed them all up for themselves the minute they went on sale.

Our contributing photographers Erik Kabik and Scott Harrison were on the scene to capture these extraordinary Vegas DeLuxe photos.

'Priscilla' and 500 drag queen costumes bus across the desert for nine-week run at the Venetian

June 18, 2013 • 1:38 p.m.

The journey on Interstate 15 across the desert from Los Angeles to Las Vegas for the "Priscilla" musical touring company is as incredible an undertaking as the Australian outback drag-queen scripted adventure itself. The big, glitzy, colorful theatrical production complete with an on-stage cutaway bus takes nine trucks to transport — two of which are just for the wardrobe costumes and hair pieces! Cast and crew arrived Monday, and Tuesday morning, “Priscilla School” opened to teach hired Las Vegas locals how best to help the cast fast-change in and out of the myriad of outrageous outfits. "Priscilla Queen of the Desert — The Musical" opens for a one-night preview Tuesday night, and the full run premieres on Thursday at the Venetian.
