LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A series of celebrations are unfolding going into the weekend at the Plaza Casino Hotel property.
The main street facade has been completely remodeled and modernized, with the addition of a popular Las Vegas doughnut shop.
Part of the Main Street Reimagination project is a showgirl statue at the Carousel Bar. But what will she be named? Plaza representatives say the public will be able to have a part in the process.
There is a showgirl naming contest being held now through July 10. People can enter name suggestions, and the winner will get a prize package that includes the following:
