There are dozens of big-name entertainers who travel the casino circuit doing one or two shows in each city they visit. I'm thinking of shows like The Four Tops, Johnny Mathis, Tony Orlando, Harry Connick Jr., Frankie Valli, Willie Nelson, and so many more. These shows often include backup singers and large bands traveling with them. My question is, what do the casinos pay for these shows? It must be a lot.

We always stay either on the Strip or at a locals casino, but have never stayed downtown. However, we always spend an evening or two downtown to see the Fremont Street Experience, the Mob Museum, etc., and gamble for a while. Last year some of the so-called street performers were so filthy in their dress, mannerisms, language, and more that we have decided to write off downtown unless this scum is either banned or forced to clean up their act. We spoke to a police officer about one particularly disgusting guy and were told that at that time they were protected by some ridiculous and obviously outdated law that had not yet been repealed. Are they still there or has Fremont Street been cleaned up in the last year or so?
