I'm not a local LV person, so if I'm wrong, please correct me....
When I first saw Jubilee, Bally's was the MGM Grand, and was also used
(at least the front of the building) in the James Bond Film 'Diamonds
are Forever' (Willard White's White House in LV).
MGM built another hotel/casino (the current one) shortly after they had
an unfortunate (and highly publicized by the news media) fire in the
building's top floors.
The show when I saw it was to celebrate the many years of MGM films and
favorite movie themes. When I saw the show, the advertisement for the
show was focused on the on-stage special effects, particularly the
destruction of the temple in the Samson and Delilah segment, and as
Annie mentioned, the sinking of the Titanic.
I'm also considering on seeing it again after several years to see how
it may or may not have changed. Its worthwhile show to see if one hasn't
seen it.
