Las Vegas Burlesque Shows

Burlesque is the oldest thing on a Las Vegas stage and the least understood. It is not a strip club; it is choreography, costume, comedy and timing, performed by people who train for it — a craft with a century of Vegas history behind it and a very real revival happening in the city's smaller rooms.

What is the difference between burlesque, cabaret and a revue?

The words get used interchangeably and should not be. Burlesque is built on tease, character and comic timing — the reveal is the punchline, not the point. Cabaret is the broader room: song, dance and patter at close range. A revue is a full-cast production that may use either. All three share the same virtue, which is that they are designed to be seen from a table rather than a balcony.

What happens at a Las Vegas burlesque show?

Expect a series of numbers rather than one continuous piece, usually with a host, often with live music, and typically running around 90 minutes. Most burlesque rooms are 18+ or 21+.

How do you book tickets?

Tickets are sold direct through Sin City Seats. Where the room seats by table, you choose your table at checkout.

Where do these shows play?

All addresses are Las Vegas, Nevada. Doors typically open 45 minutes before showtime.
