The topless revue "Les Folies Bergere" has hung up its feathers after 49 years at the Tropicana hotel-casino.
Many performers who had taken part in the show's 29,000 runs since Christmas of 1959 crowded the set after its final curtain on Saturday.

ODD NOTE: "Folies" came from Paris in 1959 and opened under then-Tropicana entertainment director Lou Walters, the father of newswoman Barbara Walters.

Many of my old stomping grounds have shut down. Seems like a lot of history is being lost.
