Hollywood came to Las Vegas, and naturally it needed a drag club. Marino appears as himself in the Sandra Bullock sequel — his best-known screen credit, and a moment he has never let anyone forget.

It was the same year the Walk of Stars ceremony took place outside the Riviera — the year the rest of the country worked out what Las Vegas already knew.
