"Wake up and smell the mai tais, New York. Las Vegas has come calling on you. And it's on such good behavior, you'd be a churl not to embrace it as if it were a long-lost sibling." - The New York Times
"Jason Robert Brown (a Tony winner last year for The Bridges Of Madison County) deserves huzzahs for making the kicky musical cocktailof catchy melodies and clever lyrics that drive this show. The songs smartly change tempo and tone, shifting from classic showtunes to jazzy stylings toisland breeziness as the action moves from New York to Nevada to Hawaii." - New York Daily News
