“This is as close as anyone has come to capturing the feeling of the real thing.”

This spirited tribute recreates a famous “Summit at the Sands” hotel show, when the swingin’ group known as the Rat Pack was creating hipster legend. The free-wheeling, no-holds-barred nightclub act starred several of Vegas’ favorite sons: Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr., Dean Martin, Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop.
In “The Rat Pack Is Back!” the voice of God urges Frank, Sammy, Joey and Dean to go back and do it “just one more time.” What ensues is an uncanny recreation of one of the Rat Pack’s raucous, antic-filled performances, featuring Bishop’s hilarious comedy and performances of such standards as Sinatra’s “You Make Me Feel So Young,” “A Foggy Day,” “One For My Baby” and “All Of Me;” Martin’s “That’s Amoré” and Davis’ “Mr. Bojangles.” Backing the singers is a swinging 12-piece orchestra.
