VIVA Las Vegas

This town turned 100 in style. She got drunk, dressed up and kicked her heels till dawn, and the party continues.

If you're picturing an old lady right now, picture the collagen-stuffed Jackie Stallone in Celebrity Big Brother. Picture Dolly Parton, still bewigged and rhinestoned at 58, explaining that ever since childhood she has yearned to dress like a hooker. That's the kind of old lady we're talking about. There's no such thing as too much noise or too much glitter in Las Vegas.

For choice of hotel, she’s very accommodating.
