Frank Sinatra, Count Basie, and The Sands Hotel are all gone, but
the excitement of that blend of musical performance will come to life
every Saturday evening at The Carnegie Club, just as if it were Las
Vegas in 1960's all over again.
The Sands Hotel first presented Frank Sinatra for a week-long engagement
in 1953 and three months later, he bought a share in the hotel and
casino. The hotel's most famous claim to fame was a 3-week period
in 1960, during the Las Vegas filming of the movie "Ocean's Eleven."
The management organized an event in the Copa Room called the "Summit
at the Sands", where for the first time, the stars of the film:
Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Joey Bishop, and Peter
Lawford performed on stage together. They would forever be known as
the "Rat Pack." Sinatra continued to perform at the hotel
through 1967.
Though not an impersonator, Steven Maglio is especially
appreciated for his renditions of songs made popular by Frank Sinatra.
Each show highlights different songs from "Old Blue Eyes'" legendary
career. In the first show, Maglio and the 11-piece big band orchestra
showcase such classics as "Luck Be A Lady," "I've Got You Under
My Skin" and "The Way You Look Tonight" followed by the later show
which includes the favorites "Night and Day," "Fly Me To The Moon"
and "New York, New York."
Steven Maglio sang his first Frank Sinatra song, "My
Kind of Town" when he was eight years old. It wasn't until 2002,
however, that the New York native made his stage debut singing with
Joe Battaglia and The New York Big Band at Tavern on the Green.
Steven has performed at The Rainbow Room, The Blue Note, The Sands
Hotel in Atlantic City, The Paris Hotel in Las Vegas and is set
to return to headline with The Guayaquil Symphony Orchestra of Ecuador
in the summer of 2007. Steven first performed at The Carnegie Club
in 2003 as their Sinatra substitute before becoming their headliner
in 2004 with his show, Sinatra Songs. Steven is a member of The
Friars Club and MAC.
The Carnegie Club, located behind Carnegie Hall, offers
an elegant and stylish atmosphere with the charm of old New York.
The room boasts 25-foot ceilings with contemporary furnishings along
with a stone fireplace and bookcases filled with leather-bound titles,
creating an intimate and sophisticated space. Due to special provisions
in New York law, the smoking of cigars and cigarettes is legally
permitted in The Carnegie Club.
There is a $30 cover charge plus a two drink minimum.
