Siegfried & Roy #10


Scan11336, originally uploaded by bucklesw1.

I only saw this show once and it was by chance. We were showing Las Vegas with the Ringling Show in 1994 and the entire cast and company attended a performance compliments of Kenneth Feld.

I was told that the cats were gillied daily from this facility to the Mirage in "bread van" type vehicles with "DANGER EXPLOSIVES" painted all around to lessen the chance of an accident.

Capt, I wonder where Gilda lived while she was with them?

Either in the Mirage or nearby.
Army Maguire once regaled me with stories of his adventures as an employee there.
Including being escorted before Siegfried and Roy themselves and directed to sign a document whereby if he revealed the secrets of the magic tricks he would be immediately jailed and deported.

Took this video at Radio City Music Hall in 1989 as Gildah and Siegfried and Roy arrived for their performance.
