“We’re thrilled to invite members of the military to a complimentary performance of this exciting show,” said Kim Etland, vice president and general manager of Sam’s Town Shreveport. “This event is our way of showing our thanks for their service to our country.”
The live tribute show, now celebrating its 26th anniversary as the longest-running family-friendly production show in the history of Las Vegas, features universally-renowned performers who transform, in every detail, into the celebrity superstars they portray.
