The first and original the only thing borrowed about this show is its name. The show at the Lido de Paris is steeped in tradition from the golden era of late night entertainment and risqu?, daring shows. The fireworks were initiated at the Lido Show Paris in 1948 and still continue to crackle, fizz and sparkle on the Champs-Elysee today drawing varied audiences from all over the world on a nightly basis. Renowned for the high-quality nature of the shows and the class and unbelievable talent with which the perfomers dance, it is obvious why this is a world-wide phenomenon and why it continues to be centre stage of the Paris cabaret scene. Lido di Venezia The term Lido that gave its name to the Lido Show Paris comes from the district of Venice on the surrounding archipelago where bathing was commonplace from the late 19th Century. In Italian meaning ‘beach’ but the term has come to take on mystery and connotations of sumptuous spectacles and black and white tourists in striped beachwear. With a reputation for relaxing the members of high society during the summer months a little known film festival started on the island in 1932. The Venice Film Festival continues today and attracts the brightest stars in Hollywood and the international film world. The inspiration for cultural productions do not stop there as this sand bank between Venice and the Adriatic Sea was also the setting for Thomas Mann’s 1912 novel Death in Venice. Over the last few hundred years Doges would make their way to the Lido to make the offering of a ring into the water to give thanks and show respect to the waters, a custom that may need to be rekindled today to save Venice from encroaching waters. Lido Show Las Vegas The show in Las Vegas is an important part of the history of late night entertainment in this dry but ever-sizzling city, which had been taken directly from the Lido Show Paris. The Stardust hotel broke from tradition by producing an original show instead of booking a headline act on the merit of their renowned name and won the praise of the public and hotel owners across Las Vegas. The Lido Show Paris was transplanted from the streets of Paris to the desert of Nevada and proved so successful other resorts followed suite and began to stage more outrageous and boisterous shows to rival the ones that had gone before. The show enjoyed a 31 year run and was decommissioned in 1991 after showing visitors to Las Vegas how to have a real good time. The introduction of some European class to the star-filled programmes of yesteryear revolutionized the Vegas shows as we know (and love) them today.
