When did Las Vegas casinos discontinue the tradition of midnight shows from headline or lounge entertainers? If you look at old advertisements, Elvis, Wayne Newton, Louis Prima, Frank Sinatra, etc., all did dinnertime shows, followed by midnight performances. Sometimes, even 2 a.m. shows were scheduled! Did entertainers dislike the late hours? Or did people decide they’d rather go to bed? (I can’t believe that!)
