One of the highlights of a visit to Las Vegas is to see all the splashy colors and sparkly lights along the Strip at night. Experience that same “wow” factor by day in an exhibit showcasing one of the art world’s finest painters.

More than 25 years ago, Brooklyn-born female impersonator Frank Marino set up shop on the Las Vegas Strip in a Joan Rivers get-up, leaving a trail of immaculate Bob Mackie-designed gowns in his wake. The show that made him a Sin City legend was An Evening at La Cage, but Marino’s current production, Divas Las Vegas, is less cabaret and more MTV-generation, these days.

Welcome to Las Vegas, home of the “what happens here, stays here” way of life. From swimming with dolphins to jumping off of the tallest building in town, partying with celebrities or eating a $55, eight-pound plate of nachos: you name it and you can probably find a way to do it in Sin City. With Feb. 14—the most important date night of the year—on the horizon, a trip to Las Vegas means you can find just about any way imaginable to celebrate with your sweetheart.
