Visitors flying into Las Vegas got more than just their luggage when they stopped by baggage claim.
Cast
members from Cirque du Soleil danced on the carousels, did handstands
on the moving sidewalks and rode a vintage Volkswagen Beetle into the
terminal Thursday afternoon at McCarran International Airport.
The
unannounced, three-song shows marked the 50th anniversary of the
Beatles' flight from San Francisco to Las Vegas. The band's two-show gig
in 1964 was the only time the Fab Four performed in Sin City.
Cirque du Soleil has a Beatles-themed resident show at The Mirage casino called "LOVE."
The cast's re-creation of the Beatles' journey included a pre-flight performance at San Francisco International Airport, and cast members gave prizes to Southwest Airlines passengers who flew with them to Las Vegas.
Featuring Get Back, Drive My Car and Sgt. Pepper. Dancers and acrobats on trampolines performed as a vintage Volkswagen Beetle was steered through baggage claim.
