SPOTLIGHT ON LAS VEGAS WELCOME TO LAS VEGAS, NEVADA Las Vegas, in Nevada’s Mojave Desert, is a resort city famed for its vibrant nightlife, centered around 24-hour casinos and other entertainment options. Its main street and focal point is the Strip, just over 4 miles long. This boulevard is home to themed hotels with elaborate displays such as fountains synchronized to music as well as replicas of an Egyptian pyramid, the Venetian Grand Canal, and the Eiffel Tower.

There is abundant sunshine throughout the year, with an average of 310 sunny days and bright sunshine occurring during 86% of all daylight hours. Rainfall is scarce and Las Vegas is among the sunniest, driest, and least humid locations in all of North America, with exceptionally low dew points and humidity that sometimes remains below 10%. Average High/Low Temperatures Low / High December 39oF / 57oF July 81oF / 104oF Average Precipitation Rain 4 in. Snow .3 in. GEOGRAPHY Las Vegas is situated within Clark County in a basin on the floor of the Mojave Desert and is surrounded by mountain ranges on all sides. Much of the landscape is rocky and arid with desert vegetation and wildlife. It can be subjected to torrential flash floods, although much has been done to mitigate the effects of flash floods through improved drainage systems. The peaks surrounding Las Vegas reach elevations of over 10,000 feet, and act as barriers to the strong flow of moisture from the surrounding area. The elevation is approximately 2,030 ft above sea level. Within the city there are many lawns, trees and other greenery. Due to water resource issues, there has been a movement to encourage xeriscapes. Another part of conservation efforts is scheduled watering days for residential landscaping. A U.S. Environmental Protection Agency grant in 2008 funded a program that analyzed and forecast growth and environmental impacts through the year 2019. GLOBAL MOBILITY SOLUTIONS l SPOTLIGHT ON LAS VEGAS l 02 SPOTLIGHT ON LAS VEGAS COST OF LIVING The cost of living in Las Vegas is 1% lower than the average in Nevada and 4% higher than the national average. The median home price is $12,500 more than the national average and residents experience a year over year appreciation rate of nearly 8%. In addition to having housing costs below the national average, residents of Las Vegas enjoy utility costs that are below both the Nevada and national averages.

Sahara Avenue Las Vegas, NV 89104 http://www.dmvnv.com GLOBAL MOBILITY SOLUTIONS l SPOTLIGHT ON LAS VEGAS l 03 SPOTLIGHT ON LAS VEGAS LIFESTYLE & ENTERTAINMENT One simple answer to the question “what is it like to live in Las Vegas?” is, “everything and nothing like what you would think”. Las Vegans spend a disproportionate amount of time doling out one very obvious statement: yes, people actually live here, and not all of us work in casinos, though, to be fair, an overwhelming percentage do. Roughly 335,000 people in Las Vegas work in hospitality and leisure and this is a city of less than 2 million. When you factor in related fields like media and marketing, and industries that support hospitality employees it wouldn’t be a far stretch to say that the majority of working adults in the Las Vegas Valley are in some way dependent on the hospitality industry for their livelihood.

With close to 40 million annual visitors, Las Vegas is one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, and its clientele is amazingly diverse, from every part of the country and every corner of the globe, and the cuisine it offers represents this, with everything from kaiseki to tapas, Hawaiian specialties to Brazilian barbecue, rare Florida stone crabs to fish and chips. Carnivorous Vegas is awash in steakhouses, with the best selection in the world - and at every price point - while it also has an amazing array of fine French dining, with the most famous Parisian masters represented here. Then there is Las Vegas’ own homegrown specialty, the all-you-can-eat buffet, offered here in more iterations and staggering variety than anywhere else. From Tourists to Treasure-Hunters You can spend money in almost any way imaginable in Las Vegas, but the best way to actually leave with what you paid for is to go shopping. We consider it one of your better options in terms of having something to show for your empty wallet. If your tastes run to the expensive, you will want to schedule in some serious time at the luxury shops of Crystals and Via Bellagio. They are even within walking distance of each other if you’re not wearing heels. Also, you may be surprised to hear that there are six certified Rolex dealers on the Strip alone, and that you can buy a Ferrari or Maserati direct from the showroom at the Wynn. If these are a little (or a lot) too pricey for you, check out Fashion Show mall at the north end of the Strip, Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino and The Forum Shops at Caesars. For charming little shops paired with a Vegas-only experience to match, head off the Strip to the Downtown Container Park. It’s made from up-cycled shipping containers, and is home to lots of hip, artsy boutiques, galleries, restaurants, live music and even a play area for kids. If you’re looking for something specific, from a fast cars or fine jewelry to a t-shirts or unique souvenir, chances are, you can find it in Las Vegas. GLOBAL MOBILITY SOLUTIONS l SPOTLIGHT ON LAS VEGAS l 05 SPOTLIGHT ON LAS VEGAS ENTERTAINMENT Many of the casinos in Las Vegas have magnificent theaters. These theaters are home to both a revolving door of world-class talent and amazing, permanent headliners. If in doubt whether a show is family-friendly or not, contact the box office prior to purchasing tickets.

The 2019 program will begin Saturday, May 18, 2019, Armed Forces Day, and end on Monday, September 2, 2019, Labor Day. More information about Blue Star Museums and a list of participating museums can be found at arts.gov/bluestarmuseums. Blue Star Museums is an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts in collaboration with Blue Star Families, the Department of Defense, and more than 2,000 museums nationwide. First Lady of the United States Melania Trump and Second Lady of the United States Karen Pence are honorary co-chairs of Blue Star Museums 2019. “The burlesque world has always had a special relationship with the US military,” says Executive Director Dustin M. Wax. “Burlesque performers like Gypsy Rose Lee, Ann Corio, Mae West, and Sherry Britton travelled the world with the USO, posed for pinups, led book drives for overseas service members, and of course entertained troops in theaters and clubs around the country. We are proud to continue that special relationship and to share that history with today’s generation of men and women serving in the armed forces.” “The Defense Department congratulates Blue Star Families and the National Endowment for the Arts on reaching an incredible milestone: ten years of service to the military community though Blue Star Museums,” said A.T.

    Rose La Rose and the Re-Ownership of American Burlesque, 1935-1972

    TAUGHT IT TO THE TRADE: ROSE LA ROSE AND THE RE-OWNERSHIP OF AMERICAN BURLESQUE, 1935-1972 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Elizabeth Wellman Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Jennifer Schlueter, Advisor Beth Kattelman Joy Reilly Copyright by Elizabeth Wellman 2015 ABSTRACT Declaring burlesque dead has been a habit of the twentieth century. Robert C. Allen quoted an 1890s letter from the first burlesque star of the American stage, Lydia Thompson in Horrible Prettiness: Burlesque and American Culture (1991): “[B]urlesque as she knew it ‘has been retired for a time,’ its glories now ‘merely memories of the stage.’”1 In 1931, Bernard Sobel opined in Burleycue: An Underground History of Burlesque Days, “Alas! You will never get a chance to see one of the real burlesque shows again. They are gone forever…”2 In 1938, The Billboard published an editorial that began, “On every hand the cry is ‘Burlesque is dead.’”3 In fact, burlesque had been declared dead so often that editorials began popping up insisting it could be revived, as Joe Schoenfeld’s 1943 op-ed in Variety did: “[It] may be in a state of putrefaction, but it is a lusty and kicking decomposition.”4 It is this “lusty and kicking decomposition” which characterizes the published history of burlesque. Since its modern inception in the late nineteenth century, American burlesque has both been framed and framed itself within this narrative of degeneration.
