Tropicana Las Vegas was once ‘the Tiffany of the Strip.’ For former showgirls, it was home.
The first time Maryann Picchi saw the Folies Bergere show at the Tropicana, she knew she belonged on that stage.
The year was 1970, and Picchi, then 25, was stunned by the big sets. The showgirls in beautiful gowns and sparkling sequins. The live orchestra that filled the room with sweeping music. For someone who had been dancing since she was 3, it was a dream job.
“I thought that would be more exciting than being a dancer on a TV show or in the movies. This was every night. I could dance every night,” said Picchi, now 79.
