What Happens Here, Stays Here
December 30, 2008
What happens here, stays here.
Yeah, uh huh, so they say. (Or used to say. I don’t know what our slogan is these days. They tried to change it but then everyone keeps using the old slogan.)
But really, when you think about it, you CAN sort of accomplish that “stays in Vegas” in a way. Check out this old commercial from the Las Vegas Visitors and Convention Authority:
So, I was thinking… where does one buy a wig these days if they wanted to do that?
Well, Serge’s Showgirl Wigs, of course! Sort of a hokey name, but not at all a hokey store.
Wigs Everywhere
I went in and spoke to the nice ladies there and they told me all about the place. Serge’s is a pretty cool wig shop. They have everything in there that a girl could want to hide her hair.
Scarves and Falls
They have the little scarves and hats you can wear to hide from a bad hair day. They have falls, partial type wigs, full wigs, and they can even style your wig for only $35.00.
Prices really depend on what you want. They really vary. You could get out of there with spending about $200 for a nice synthetic wig, or lots more depending on what you want. They have an outlet store also and from what I understand they start at $80.00. I didn’t check out the outlet store as I was pressed for time that day.
Mary helped me and we tried on lots and lots of hair. It was pretty fun. She was very patient with me. By the time I left my hair was all smooshed from having so many wigs on my head. It was hard for me to believe that it was synthetic hair on my head as they looked so real! Of course, you can always opt for the real hair wigs, but those things have to be restyled all the time. The synthetic ones will fall right back in to shape when they get wet. This is very handy after a night of jumping around in fountains, falling down drunk in puddles and wet t-shirt contests… you know… the usual Vegas fun for a modern gal.
The girls at Serge
So next time you are thinking of coming to Vegas and you want to do some things you would not ordinarily do, you might consider planning a trip to Serge’s Showgirl Wigs first. You know, we have to protect our fine reputations.
As an odd note to this story, if you look closely at the photo with the salesgirls, you will see a photo of Willy Nelson on the wall. I don’t know why Willy would be on the wall at a wig shop… But there he is.

They are maybe 1/2 mile from the strip. Which is good, because you’re probably going to be in a hurry.

The women in the ad make me “Serge”.
It wasn’t until I clicked on the last photo that I saw WIllie Nelson. Even better is the expression on the sweater lady’s face. That’s quality.

Haha, the sweater lady is Mary. She’s a very nice lady but I took the photo twice and twice she shut her eyes.
