The Tropicana Resort has presented this revue since 1959, though its undergone several updates. The traditional Vegas musical features nearly-nude showgirls singing and dancing everything from the can-can to the mambo.
The show came to MGM Grand in 2001 under a different name, but earlier this year the show reclaimed its name and played up its history—the original French cabaret has been running since the early '50s. The revue combines beautiful dancers and special effects. Light patterns paint the dancers in different colors and provide anatomical illusions.
This adult-themed Cirque du Soleil is a cabaret-style show with primal African dancers, sensual gymnasts who perform in a clear bowl of water, a hunky cowboy and a sexy schoolgirl who hula-hoops through the air. Proving sex is both sensual and funny, Zumanity features lots of humor and plenty of hysterical audience participation.
Formerly known as Exotic World, this museum moved from the desert of California to Las Vegas last year. The museum, currently in search of permanent space, hosts the annual Miss Exotic World competition each June in which burlesque performers from all over the world compete—above is performer Immodesty Blaize from this year's show. When the museum does have a new space it will feature monthly performances and an artist in residence.
Each hour dancers come onstage to strut, shimmy and strip to the tunes of a three-piece band in this small speakeasy club in the Mandalay Bay. The short sets break up the dancing and drinking of the regular partygoers.
The burlesque troupe started performing in L.A. with celebrity guests like Gwen Stefani and Christina Aguilera. In 2005 they moved to Ceasars Palace where celebrities like Carmen Electra and Jessica Simpson continue to make guest appearances. The lounge and adjacent Pussycat Doll Casino are located inside PURE nightclub.
Tucked inside Treasure Island is the Tangerine nightclub where DJs spin dance tunes and guests mingle inside and out along the deck. At 9:30 and 10:30 Thursdays through Saturdays things get a lot hotter when burlesque dancers put on a 15-minute set to a three-piece band.
Nove Italiano, a restaurant that dishes up delectable Italian dishes under the watchful eye of large topiaries in the shape of naked women, is the gateway to the sexiest night under one roof. After dinner, head upstairs to gamble at the Playboy Club with the vixens in bunny suits. After a few hands, get down at Moon, where women groove on top of the banquettes and the see-and-be-seen crowd takes in some of the best views in Vegas.
This topless revue in the Luxor features topless dancers, comedians and singers in a show meant for couples. The scenes, choreographed by Chris Judd (J.Lo's ex-hubby), have the dancers acting out secret fantasies from forbidden office romances to secret agents.
It’s not all about the women in Las Vegas, the men strut their stuff too. At the Thunder From Down Under revue, seven Australian hunks bump and grind for the bachelorette set.
