floorshows
Stage acts nightly
A floorshow is live entertainment performed at a nightclub, cabaret, or restaurant, typically featuring singers, dancers, comedians, or variety acts performing on the main floor rather than an elevated stage.
The format was especially popular in mid-20th-century supper clubs where patrons dined while watching the show.
The casino's floorshow featured showgirls and a crooner.
