Dear Board of Directors,

Caesars Entertainment presently holds in its hands a precious gem of timeless entertainment history, one that long ago really should have been designated an officially-recognized historical landmark due to its cultural significance: the Jubilee Theater at Bally's Las Vegas. "Jubilee!" was one of the most stunning, glamorous, and moving shows to ever perform in Las Vegas. Few venues and productions of this caliber and scale exist anymore. Bally's had faithfully remained a committed beacon in the dark to keep the showgirl tradition alive. The decision to permanently close "Jubilee!" on 2/11/2016 has all but resulted in a complete and deeply tragic loss of an entire piece of American culture and history that may never be replaced again. There are officially no revues left in Las Vegas, nor the world outside of Paris, where showgirls and showboys performing in a cast production in such grandeur can ever be witnessed again. We don't want the Jubilee Theater to face the same demise seen by every other showgirl revue in Las Vegas: closure, and then no effort to ever restore or revive it with a new showgirl revue.

We know "Jubilee!" is closing due to difficult circumstances. However, we are asking Caesars Entertainment to please retain the key elements of legendary Las Vegas entertainment previously found in "Jubilee!": the showgirls and showboys, their historic costumes, and their uniquely-classic styles of performance in whatever future reincarnation of the Jubilee Theater show may be planned. We want to see Caesars offer newer generations something as original and enduring as what "Jubilee!" provided: a fresh "throwback" alternative to everything else already out there. Please let the Showgirl continue to entertain, endear, and enchant in all her glory and splendor at Bally's Las Vegas for decades to come.

Over the years I have seen JUBILEE about twelve times. Being a former dancer, I saw and appreciated the magnificent production value in this show. There is nothing like this in Las Vegas at this time. Don Arden was truly a genius. Hopefully they will bring this type of show back. It is truly iconic of Las Vegas. Truly one of the best shows I have seen in Las Vegas.

Please keep the traditional showgirl shows in Vegas! It's the last link we have to the Las Vegas past, before entertainment became more about special effects than actual talent and when glamour actually meant something. I am stunned that something so synonymous with Las Vegas is in danger of being relegated to cultural lore. Don't let that happen!

I would urge your consideration to PLEASE keep the Jubilee Theater at Bally's in Las Vegas, as this is an iconic artform that can never be duplicated nor replaced. There are plenty of 'modern' shows to be seen, but if this disappears, our future generations will be robbed of the opportunity to see & enjoy a special part of musical history. We always talk of 'saving the planet' for future generations. Why is it less important to save historical musical/showgirl performances? I petition you to please reconsider & KEEP this long-loved historical artform alive within our country. Thank you. Carol Long, CA, USA

It's so strange to know that there is not a full running traditional vegas style showgirl show. I work in the dance arts & theatre world & understand budgets, etc. But i do hope they find a compromise to keep the history of showgirl/showboy productions going

Jubilee was the very first Vegas show my husband and I ever saw. One of the very best in Vegas. I was very sadden when I heard it will be no more. What is Vegas without Showgirls? Please please please bring back Jubilee. It is the one show we always tell people they must see if you visit Vegas.
