In a town known for it's unique entertainment one of the more interesting shows currently running in Las Vegas is Menopause - The Musical. The show has been running at the Las Vegas Hilton since 2001. It's a 90 minute production that follows the trials and tribulations of four women that are all in the midst of the big "change."

As the Las Vegas Shows Reviews blog recently noted:

Set in Bloomindales in New York City, no menopausal stone is left unturned in this hilarious musical. These four strangers meet in the department store, bond when they realize they’re all going through “The Change,” and become fast friends. The actress is in denial about her age and chalks her mood swings up to being part of the acting process. The businesswoman forgets what she’s supposed to talk about in the meeting she is about to lead, thanks to her menopausal brain fog.

The overweight Iowa housewife hates the physical changes forced on her body and can’t fit into the skimpy lingerie she so desperately wants to buy on her first trip to New York that she hopes will put. Our Earth Mother is way too cranky to successfully meditate any more, so she eats too much and terrorizes her husband instead. The women find relief in their anti-depressants. They all pop a different pill and our hippie downs the St. John’s Wort instead.

Menopause features several hysterical musical numbers that will keep your toes tapping throughout the show. They twist the many famous songs with lyrics that poke fun at such issues like stretch marks, hot flashes and plastic surgery.

The characters are our mothers, our sisters, even us. The characters are captivating and keep the audience captivated throughout the entire show. With their shared experience the ladies form a bond that trancends their own individual lives and which leads them to realize there's no reason to not be happy! At the end the audience is invited onstage to join the party.

Las Vegas has long been known at the "Adult Playground." Part of that reputation is the abundance of "gentleman's clubs" that are here. If there's any ladies have ever dreamed of learning some of the moves that the girls use in the strip clubs, than "Stripper 101" is the show for you. Held in the V theater in the Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino, it's a great way to learn some new moves!

As recently noted by the Las Vegas Shows Reviews blog:

A group comprised mostly of twenty-somethings but including ladies into their 40s and beyond, most of the 20 - 25 attending patrons seem to instinctively dress sexy and skimpy, dressing the part and embracing the “character” even before arriving. The group is lead into a dimly lit, sultry studio, outfitted with a dozen floor and ceiling supported stripper poles, stacks of ballroom chairs and even a roaring fireplace, creating a cozy corner to warm up anyone feeling the chill of the room (intentionally kept cold to cool the roomful of hot proto-strippers to come). Several benches are arranged around the room perimeter, providing seating to those wishing to observe or whose modesty overwhelms them, although at Stripper 101, this problem rarely ever arises.

Leading the class, former stripper Kindra (who, along with Rachel, alternates instruction of this 1 1/2; hour course) offers a brief introduction on her history and experience. Kindra is a spirited hostess with an engaging, warm and playful personality which the attendees quickly respond to. With a true talent for teaching in addition to dancing, Kindra creates an encouraging, comfortable and fun environment, with the atmosphere kept very tasteful and reassuring.

The show is undoubtly naughty but never nasty. It's more R-rated than X-rated and has a strict women-only policy. Photographs are taken throughtout the class which only adds to the excitement of the night. There's no nudity as well and with a vibe of good-natured fun the participants are quickly at easy with instructors that genuinely have a passion for their craft. All are made to feel welcome regardless of age of skill level. It's a great way to spice up your love life or just a fun girls night out. Don't forget your high heels!

Crazy Girls Shows Off The Sexy Side Of Las Vegas

To say that things change here in Las Vegas is an understatment! There's always something new and exciting going on in the entertainment world. One fabulous show which has remained a constant is the Crazy Girls revue at the Riviera Hotel and Casino. For over 20 years this legendary show has entertained millions of people and has secured it's place in Las Vegas history.

As the Las Vegas Shows Reviews blog recently noted:

The closest comparison to defining “Crazy Girls” is similar to what people would expect a classic “Golden Age” Las Vegas show to be. The girls perform a variety of acts that are playful and cheeky to sensual and alluring, set to music from the classic burlesque age to more modern songs. “Crazy Girls” keeps it simple, yet captivating, and for regular show-goers on The Strip, it makes for an experience that isn’t going to be found just anywhere else.

When defining “simple”, this means that the show sticks to its core idea of beautiful, half-naked women without delving into a lot of extraneous side acts. That’s not to say that the entire show is made up of just dancing and beautiful women. The show gives the audience a chance to cool down and be entertained in a new way by offering a series of fun card tricks after the opening act, and a longer comedy magic performance by illusionist Tony Douglas.

Crazy Girls gives you a real feal of being at a classic burlesque show with modern touches. There's not much left these days of the "Old Vegas" we all grew up loving but this show is a great throwback to a time gone by. This is an adult show and no children are allowed. If you're looking for an entertainment experience that's reminicent of how things once were, this is the show for you!

One of the great things about visiting Las Vegas has always been the excellent entertainment we have here. There's many fine shows for whatever interest you might have. Some of the best value out there are one of the "tribute" shows. It's also a great way to catch several acts on the same bill. One of the best tribute shows is American Superstars which has been running at the Stratosphere hotel and casino for quite a while now.

As recently noted by the Las Vegas Shows Reviews blog:

The biggest challenge of successfully impersonating a celebrity not only resides in how well the individual artist’s respective talent can be performed, but also in capturing those personalities, the posturing, and their overall look. When you go to “American Superstars”, you will definitely see Elvis shake his hips, Michael Jackson glide across the floor with his moonwalk, and hear Christina Aguilera belt out that musical range that she is known for. True to Las Vegas style, there is also an ensemble of showgirls who provide back up dancing and vocals for the artists, as well as having a chance to individually shine between each performance. Also backing each act is a full band who rocks out each hit alongside the featured artist.

Rounding out the cast is Darren Lee as Elvis Presley, Chad Givens as Tim McGraw, John Anthony as Rod Stewart, Lorena Peril as Christina Aguilera, and Damian Brantley as Michael Jackson. The cast is very enthusiastic about their performances, encouraging patrons to join in on the fun. Their interaction helps to bring the audience into the spotlight themselves, whether it is coming out into the audience while performing, prompting people to sing along, or even some light-heated joking with the crowd. The tribute artists get into their roles with such a fun attitude, it’s easy to be caught up in the overall good time.

"American Superstars" covers the gamut of musical styles, providing the audience with everything from country to pop to rock 'n' roll, spanning almost five decades of music. Anyone in attendance will surely find something to fit their tastes. Each performer also does a fantastic job covering the particular artist's style and persona.

The finale brings the entire cast of artists and dancers out for a last upbeat ensemble number. Afterward the cast makes their way to the showroom lobby for a meet and greet with the audience and to also take photographs, making the audience feel much more a part of the show.

It's a great choice to add to your Vegas experience. The show is a "clean", family-friendly show as well. With ticket prices on the rise, you'd be hard-pressed to see even one artist for the price of one ticket to "American Superstars", much less all five performers! You definitely get a great bang for your buck here!
