September 29 - October 16, 1966 - Flamingo Hotel - Their first Vegas appearance and I believe the first major Black recording rock and roll group to perform Vegas.
June 28-July 19, 1967 - Flamingo Hotel - The first four days are with Florence and then rest of the engagement is with Cindy.
July 2-15, 1968 - Frontier Hotel - Their first engagement at the Frontier.
January 30-February 12, 1969 - Frontier Hotel
December 23-January 14, 1970 - Frontier Hotel - Diana's last gig with the group.
August 27-September 23, 1970 - Frontier Hotel - Their first Vegas engagement with Jean.
November 19-December 2, 1970 - Frontier Hotel - They return just two months after their engagement for a two week run. I have concert reviews from this gig but it isn't said why they are back so soon. Possibly another artist had to cancel and they filled in at last moment or because their August engagement was so successful that they were brought back. There is the photo of the billboard in Vegas saying "Back Again!!"
September 16-October, 1971 - Frontier Hotel - According to reviews, they had a four week run for this engagement.
January 27-February 23, 1972 - Frontier Hotel - They debut a new live show and rumor was Motown recorded this engagement for a potential live album. This was their engagement at the Frontier.
