RSSThe Las Vegas Folies Are Still Kickin’
Jul 30
The Folies Bergère is the longest running production show in Las Vegas, nestled at the Tropicana Hotel/Casino for the last 50 years or so. That’s not counting the original spectacle in Paris, France (that’s the one with the real Eiffel Tower). The name was a French word “folies,” derived from the Latin word for leaves (foliae), the idea being that it was an outdoor venue, combined with the name of one of the nearby streets, the Rue Trevise.
