Best Burlesque in Vegas?
 
Hi all,

Interested in a great, sexy burlesque show in Vegas for May 2010. Cost is not an issue but want something quality. Thanks!

What's your definition of quality?

To some it's the perkiest T's & firmest A's. Others....well I'm not sure what others consider best.

I don't remember the name of it, but the midnight show at the Luxor was awesome.

Do you really mean a burlesque show-- a combination of corny comedians and sketches, some vaudeville acts, and some stripping, or are you looking for a strip show only?

Or are pure sex or strip shows now called burlesque?

Wow, I thought this was an easy question :)

I don't want "vaudeville" or I would have said that...I am looking for classy and sexy strip show. Something titillating without being nasty crotch shots. Does that help define it? :)

My wife and I throughly enjoyed the show Zumanity. It is not a strip tease show per say but it is very adult, sexy and funny as hell. I cannot reccommend it highly enough for the entertainment value. Your head will be on a swivel tying to see all of the action. It is at New York New York.

Look up the definition of burlesque or more specifically "burlesque show".
It was NOT that easy of a question if you meant strictly a strip show.

The most authentic burlesque show is "Folies Bergere" @ the Trop. Kind of a history of burlesque, if you will. Otherwise, go to the OG, but that won't be cheap.

True, SAnParis2, but the OP has said he's not looking for traditional burlesque.

"Folies Bergere" is no longer playing. Your best bet for traditional topless Vegas Showgirls is "Jubilee" at Bally's.

I know this is off topic a bit but the show in NOLA @ The HOB "Bust Out Burlesque" I believe may be a traveling show that could be caught on other venues. NOLA, of course also has the Burlesque Festival Sept. 17-19 this year.
