Produced by Louis J. Pearlman of N'Sync, Backstreet Boys and O'Town fame, "Chippendales The Show" is a sensual, erotic experience designed for women. The show features physically perfect male dancers performing a sequence of teasing vignettes and giving up-close and personal attention to audience members. After the show, the ladies have the chance to meet and take a photo with their favorite guy.

Chippendales is a brand name recognized worldwide. Its history dates back to 1978 when the Chippendales became all the rage in Los Angeles, and then traveled to New York, where it has been a mainstay on the club circuit for decades. In April 2003, Chippendales worldwide celebrated its 25th anniversary of offering seductive entertainment for women and recently unveiled an updated Web site www.chippendales.com.

The Regency Casino's Diner is open 24-hours a day. Breakfast is served all day and lunch is from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Prime rib is served daily for $6.95 from 1 p.m. to 11 p.m. For information, call 702-299-1220.

Tim McGraw is played by Canadian entertainer Peter Phillips, who won a look-alike contest held by Detroit's Young Country Radio in Southfield, Michigan. Better yet, McGraw himself has used Phillips as a decoy.

A MiShar Production of a condensed version of the Broadway musical "South Pacific" is the entertainment offering at the Ramada Express in the Pavilion Theater through July 2. Tickets are $13.95, call 1-800-243-6846.
