This big variety show features some thirty cast members and five musicians. Its dance, acrobatic, contortionist, and comedy sets strive to be erotic, some are topless, and one is even homoerotic. Those who are new to the Las Vegas entertainment scene appear to be the show’s target audience. Sadly, the famous number with two girls swimming in a large martini glass is now performed in a glass bathtub.
Whorehouse is a non-topless song and dance musical with a large and enthusiastic cast. Its story, familiar from the eponymous movie, is likely to be perceived differently by tourists than by residents of Nevada, which has dozens of legal brothels. This show is one of only a few casino-based theatrical productions where actors play fictional characters rather than impersonate celebrities.
This amusing one-man play explores how psychological and behavioral gender differences, especially apparent in relationships, are the result of human evolution. The show is very suitably located in a stand-up comedy lounge.
Brown and his five-member band perform funny parodies of pop hits, chiefly from the ’70s and the ’80s. Brown also does celebrity impressions. The audience clearly finds his subjects relevant—even during the Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn sketch. Brown is a talented singer, and his show is entertaining.
This Michael Jackson-themed dance and acrobatics show is staged on the scale of an Olympics opening ceremony. The general topics are Jackson’s childhood and world peace. Giant video screens provide visual effects in the style of the Fremont Street Experience. Dozens of world-class performers execute challenging dance, gymnastic and acrobatic numbers, while a ten-member backing band plays and sings. Costumes and props are highly imaginative, and lighting and stage effects are advanced. Clips of Jackson’s videos—shown only a few times—predictably upstage everything. Variety acts include a one-legged dancer, a scantily-attired cellist, and a pole dancer.
More risqué than comparable girlie shows, this show is good fun. Handsome bodybuilders perform group and solo striptease numbers for a largely twenty-something female audience. One of the performers is also a very competent singer. There are many costume changes and props, and a well-chosen soundtrack. The motorcycle gas tank masturbation scene is memorable, if unrealistic.
This is a pleasant topless show where seven beautiful girls perform solo and group numbers, straddling the line between cabaret and strip club, and between dancing and posing. The show uses uncommon songs and has interesting props and lighting effects. The obligatory magician provides comic relief.
Dancers wearing white masks do hip-hop moves on stage. The performance takes place in a classically decorated theater, presenting an unusual contrast.
London is a talented singer with a powerful voice. In this satisfying show he does impressions of the vocals and mannerisms of many stars, ranging from Johnny Cash to the requisite Elvis to Barry Manilow to Ozzy Osbourne. A four-piece band accompanies London, and three beautiful dancers perform dynamic choreography.
A small and charming topless dance show, featuring a talented impressionist, rock ‘n’ roll music, and four beautiful dancers performing energetic routines choreographed primarily in the go-go style.
