BLACKPOOL'S 109-year-old Tower Ballroom is to host a a new Vegas-style floorshow, owners Leisure Parcs has announced.

Dubbed "The Kings of Swing" the show will celebrate the music of the Rat Pack, Tony Benedict, Tony Martin and Tony Sullivan.

Marc Etches, managing director of Leisure Parcs, said the show was the first step towards the entertainment style "that will inevitably come with the advent of resort casino hotels and the renaissance of Blackpool."

He added: "The social and economic regeneration of the UK's best-loved resort is reliant on Blackpool's determination to be as innovative and as daring now as it was in the early 1900s."

Kings opens on May 24 and will run six nights until late October.
