Your recent QOD (7/14/14), about longest-running contemporary Strip headliner, mentioned Lance Burton and the fact that his show ended in 2010. It made me think about ALL the former long-running headliners, like Elvis, Siegfried & Roy, Liberace, Wayne Newton, etc. Is there a list of long-running residencies? If there isn’t already a standard definition, I would consider long-running as 10 years or more, and a residency as doing at least 5 shows per week for at least 40 weeks per year. (Hmmm... Would the above examples qualify under my definition?)

With the kickoff whistle set to blow 1 p.m. today, we revisit a QoD first submitted, and answered, in mid-May. Back then, we could respond only with some informed generalities, but now we can share the complete (as of this writing) lowdown, in answer to the question: "I'll be heading out to Vegas during the World Cup. Are there any soccer-fanatic bars in Vegas where I should go to catch a game?"
