Upon a recent rewatching of Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice (1988) the other night, I was delightfully reminded of the veteran Las Vegas stage performer Robert Goulet being in the movie.

Spookily, a few day later he popped up as himself (gamely spoofing his ‘crappy’ music) in an episode of King of Queens I happened upon:

So kids, what other Las Vegas stars have rocked up in the movies and TV?

I remember the nuts-in-vice-voiced Wayne Newton in 1989’s Bond adventure Licence to Kill:

Newton now unfortunately resembles an ageing Pinocchio.

And of course Liberace himself played dual roles in the 60’s Batman TV show – as the crooked pianist Chandell and his equally villainous twin brother Harry:

The be-caped one also turned up in an episode of The Monkees, beating the crap out of piano.

Seriously Freudian stuff.

David Copperfield in The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013):

Siegfried and Roy in Vegas Vacation (1997):

When Roy was attacked onstage by the tiger Mantecore, Mirage owner Steve Wynn claimed that the animal was reacting to a “beehive” hairdo of a woman in the front row.

Elvis, Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, etc all played Las Vegas and acted in films and TV – but what other primarily casino acts have graced our screens?
