The deal is signed, sealed and delivered, as they say in showbiz, and it’s exactly as we predicted when we were the first to break the news that Zowie Bowie would be leaving their berth at the Palms.

The dynamic duo of Marley Taylor and Chris Phillips are all set to bring their new Vintage Vegas to the Lance Burton showroom in the Monte Carlo as late-night entertainment with an 18-piece orchestra and brass band. The official announcement confirming this news will be made in the coming weeks, probably on Aug. 3 with a full-blast party, press conference and tease of the new show!

Congratulations to the couple who moved here from Phoenix three years ago and dazzled at Red Rock and Green Valley resorts before settling in six months ago at The Lounge in the Palms. Click HERE for our interview with them as they prepared to move to the Palms.

Following up on my “Tweetclusive” this morning, I can tell you from highest sources that the show will get underway during the first two weeks in September. Expect to hear the incredible songs from the era that put Las Vegas on the map with superstar lounge acts and cabaret headliners such as Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack.

Here’s the big band show Zowie Bowie performed at the Miss USA Pageant:
