Purchased full price tickets at the Box office (x2 for $150) because we wanted to see a Burlesque show. Didn't realise that it was called X Burlesque but is acctually a topless revue and not a full burleque show at all. We saw Zarkana the night before at Aria for less money than what we paid for this. The best way I can decribe it is an overpriced, tacky rock concert. Some really wierd music at the start and lots of random scenes chopped together with some ametur reviews to make you think its going to be amazing. The girls looked nice and there was one good bathtub scene although It become tedious after about the 15th blackout. We left just before half way through and missed the comedian - which was good because we didnt want to see that anyway. We complained after a 2 hour wait in line at the front desk because the box office had shut and 2 days after the show I've still not had a reply about a refund. Was not the best way to spend our evening and think that they should make it very clear that this is NOT a burlesque show and my opinion is that it's not upto par with other vegas shows that I have seen. read more

Was very disappointed with this show tonight. Read previous reviews and ignored the comparisons to a strip club when I should have listened! Trust me, if you want to see topless girls dancing take a wad of singles to a strip club instead, you will enjoy yourself more and won't feel like you've been ripped off. First, the venue sucks! Seats are uncomfortable and sound is terrible and the way they pack people in leaves zero room around you. This is not a classy place for sure! Second, I am sure the ladies are very nice people, but the choreography sucked and the music was awful, absolutely terrible! If you have in your minds eye the movie version (with Christina Aigulara), this ain't it!!! Seriously, the best part of this show was the comedian at the intermission. read more

This was the best Vegas show I have ever been too hands down! My boyfriend and I had an awesome time. The girls were beautiful, the choreography was amazing, but the best part was how much fun they looked like they were having. I mean the boobs were great, but I don't think I'll ever forget those mesmerizing smiles on their faces. And the comedian was absolutely hilarious and it was raw on the spot. Just don't by drinks there. For $3:50 you can get a water so small TSA would let you through with out blinking an eye. But my god that show was worth every penny! read more

My gf's and I came here for a bachelorette evening back in June. Quaint little venue. We had a great time minus the comedian. Considering we were all Asian, the racist jokes didn't take very well with our group ...and to go off insulting us as if we didn't understand her was bit uncalled for, especially since she very well knew we all spoke Engish. The room didn't quite find her jokes funny either (1/2 the room was Asian). Speaking of stereotypes, she had a mullet and looked like she just walked off of a farm from the 80's. Zero stars for the comedian. read more

This show has been one of the longest running burlesque shows on the strip for a reason. Yes, the wait to get in sucked, but the music, the dancers and even the comedian was fantastic. Before the shiw begins, the songs being played are just hysterical. And the female comic, who had a very tough crowd the night I went, managed to get an unresponsive crowd to her side by the end of her ten minutes. All six of the young ladies the night I went were fabulous. Classy rather than smutty. And acrobatic indeed. The music & costumes throughout the show were fun On the downside, the showroom is small, the chairs are not comfortable, there is no table service. At first, I found all these to be major negatives. However, I got so drawn into the performances that I did not even notice any of these issues as the show progressed If you want to see huge, fake breasts, there are plenty of "showrooms" for that in Vegas. If you want to see a funny, sensual and empowering show featuring six very talented dancers in the heart of the strip, you CANNOT do better than xburlesque. And, if you're lucky, you may run into some of the performers after the show at a bar near the showroom. My Canadian sister Friends & I were so fortunate, and the feature dancers were as sweet in person as they were awe inspiring on stage read more

My friend flew into town last night around 10pm and as is our custom, we usually go to a show while he's here. This was about all that was available, which isn't to say that we settled (we could've easily stayed home and not done anything), but you don't have a lot of choices at a midnight showtime. From Flamingo's website: ""X Burlesque" combines imaginative choreography with outrageous props such as bungees, bathtubs and beds to excite the crowd and leave them anxiously wondering what's next. From slow, sensual, ballet-inspired routines to funky and energetic acrobatic numbers, the 90-minute production will have hearts racing. The variety of styles allows each dancer to showcase her own distinctive talents in a truly unforgettable way. Music by some of the hottest artists in rock, pop and hip-hop sets the stage for scene after scene of erotic imagery, while seductive titles for each number emulate the style of traditional burlesque shows. In "Pharoah Fawcet," the girls perform a steamy belly dance to the Pussycat Dolls' dance hit "Buttons," while 1960s-reminiscent "Sharon Delove" set to the The Raconteurs' "My Baby's on the Level," features a gorgeous girl in nothing but go-go boots and body paint." While not everything in this synopsis was present at the show, it does sum up exactly what happens. Like another reviewer said, the most sensual act was the bathtub scene...the most interesting was the bungee cord demonstration. The music of this show was excellent and worked in almost every act (I especially enjoyed "When You Got It, Flaunt It" from The Producers. I can see why people walk out, it may not be their cup of tea. It is definetly not a topless review, it is much more stylized (like Fashionistas, another show I reviewed) with excellent choreography. In the middle of the show, a comedian came out that we were pleasantly surprised to see was Vinnie Favorito from next door at Oshea's. It was a little jarring to go from women dancing to comedy, but he was funny enough to ease the transition. He was called in for this show, usually there is someone else performing. It was a nice surprise. Before the show you will also see a performance from magician Seth Grabel (www.sethgrabel.com). He has more of a street performance style and attitude that fit in very well for the tone of the show. I have seen him perform on stage at the LA Comedy Club at Palace Station and it's nice to see him getting work elsewhere. Note that we got free tickets to this show, which always makes the show a little better. You could've spent $45-65 at a strip club and probably have gotten the same type of show, but there are many other costs involved with that which I will not go into now. I enjoyed X Burlesque and it looks like they have improved their show since October of 2007, so if you get the chance, take a peek. read more

Cmon people, what were you expecting? Ridiculously attractive girls doing ridiculously attractive things....RECIPE FOR SUCCESS. Some of the choreography was a little awkward, but it was still fun. The ushers were 100 years old. Drink prices are reasonable. We slipped the usher a fiver and he gave us one of the reserved tables. Totally worth it. The dancer with the betty page bangs is the hottest woman alive. Also the best legitimate dancer in the show. read more

What Idiot designed the seating in this joint? Amateur Dancers? I could have went to the local Strip joint and saved my money instead of wasting it on this flawed crap! What a rip off? Touristy at best! I could have brought my Grand mother and she would not have been ashamed. I think Miley Cyrus has a bigger ass then all those Girls put together? Fake Boobs and No Asses!...........and no routines to make memorable. I think I saw more of the back of the head of some Japanese Tourist? The Comedian was not that bad. That is pretty much where the one star comes from. read more

Wow! What a rip-off!! Professional make-up??? Cheap fake eye lashes and red lipstick with Marshalls glitters that wouldn't come off my lips for hours? Eyelashes that she anybody can learn how to put on? Come on now! The dance lesson of literally 10 minutes was conducted by a gay guy in jeans and t shirt - I love gay guys as most of the times they know how to dance, but this one had no clue! I felt SOOO stupid dressed up on hills with horrible make up following 4 step moves ! ' Bottom line is - DON"T waste your time. Its a total rip off. Unless you come there drunk so you don't really care what you do and pretend that its fun. Maybe its fun for teen age girls, but I actually was hoping to learn something - forget it! read more

I was expecting more out of this show. I was hoping for a little more traditional burlesque with a modern flair. But the show was lots of very attractive woman dancing to a number of routines that did not come together and the middle of the show had a comedian telling jokes. (probably so the dancer can take a rest break) All of the dancers were very talented and and the show is worth going to as you can pick up tickets for less then $30. My wife was with me and the room was full of couples or groups of woman. We have seen all of the topless shows on the strip. If you are looking for something more sexy try Shades of Temptations at New York New York (yes like every topless production show on the strip it is couples friendly) If you want something more fun Try Peepshow at Planet Hollywood. read more

Over priced!!! We paid $200 for 2 tickets. The seating was horrible. Very crammed and uncomfortable. The girls were pretty but seemed really young. One girl even had a hello kitty tattoo visible... Kinda gross. I was expecting more from the show. The comedian was hilarious!! Don't waste you're money on upgrades tickets. read more

My review is for both the X Burlesque Show and the XBU (X Burlesque University). I will start with the University. For our girls weekend, my friend and I thought it would be fun to do the University class, and got a great deal off groupon for only $24! (I think its normally $50ish). The class was supposed to be from 3-4:15. We didn't start until almost 3:30 because we were waiting on a group of 8 people, which I don't think its fair for us to arrived when we were supposed to! The class included a make-up session and learning dance moves. We spent 40 minutes on putting on eyelashes because there were several girls who "couldnt" put on their fake eyelashes...so for us who put them on within 5-10 minutes, we had to wait almost 30 minutes...doing NOTHING! It was their largest group they have ever had, and there was only 1 instructor. My friend and I ended up leaving because we had other things planned for the day! It was after 4pm and we had only gotten our eyelashes on! If there were more instructors, I really feel the class would have run more smoothly. I was really bummed we didnt get to do the entire class because I think it would have been a lot of fun! So since we left early and were disappointed with the class, we received tickets to the X Burlesque Show...meh... They said the show was going to be an hour...some of the routines were pretty good. The one blonde lady on the pole was AMAZING! There were two girls were TRULY were good dancers and actually enjoyed doing the show. The rest...not so much! There was a comedian halfway through the show...she was funny! But I was depressed to realize that there would be another 45 minutes of the show...With the same pattern as that same morning, we left early because we had an evening of fun planned! I dont know if I would spend the money on the show...if you are there for a bachelor/bachelorette party or a birthday, it might be a fun group show! read more

Girls are pretty, fit, capable. Show is utterly boring and unoriginal. Comedian isn't bad. Music is poorly chosen and put together. Usher staff is downright rude. They treat you like idiots and decided to enforce unposted rules against myself and one other person but let tons of other people do whatever. Good thing I didn't pay for it. read more

Shocked by the negative or sub-par reviews for this show. In my opinion the only thing good about the flamingo is that they host this. Every single girl was beautiful and in phenomenal shape, could dance amazingly and they had great routines. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good time in Vegas. My husband and I are in our early twenties and appreciated that they included a wide variety of music. read more

My brother got us a group rate for 12 of us that worked out to $35 a ticket which is better than you can get at the discount ticket places on the strip. At that price the show was alright but I wouldn't pay full price for it. The seating of the show is absolutely awful. The chairs were the most uncomfortable I sat in in a long time. They moved us to some booth style seats in the back instead which were much more comfy but they were about 4-6 inches lower than the chairs that were in front of us so the view wasn't very good. The dancers were good and very beautiful however the lighting was also not very well done. Some people in our group really liked the show but I would definitely recommend going to see Fantasy at the Luxor instead. Fantasy is a much higher production show. read more

This show was what I expected for a lower priced show at the Flamingo. The girls were hot and some of the scenes were very sexy and seductive. If you like sexy shows this you won't be disappointed. There was an intermission and the comedian was hilarious. It's not often a comedian can keep me laughing the whole time they're on stage. But if you're sensitive you might not want to sit in the front row because that's who most of the jokes were about. It was a good time at 86 dollars for two people. My only complaint is that we were seated in the second row with the front row being left open and then last minute four HUGE men were sat in the front row and that really obstructed our view. read more

This show was horrible. There are just 6 girls that do a variety of choreographed dances with no enthusiasm...and the big deal is that they take off their tops. Then they change outfits and do it again....for 75 minutes. Small dingy room with uncomfortable chairs cramped in there. Sucked so bad...seen better acts in a strip club. The comedian wasn't really funny...pick on a couple guys in the audience and insinuate they are gay...meh. I could not wait for the show to end...and that's saying a lot when there are boobs being shown. It was that bad. read more

Very classy, beautiful girls, comfort of chairs could be better, no place to set cocktails except on floor unless you pay for upgrade. No smoking, that was good thing. Had a good laugh with comedian at the beginning and the break. Need to see again before my heart goes. read more

This is one of the worst Burlesque shows (if that's what you call it!) my friends and I have ever seen. It doesn't fit in the Burlesque theme at all, the choreography coach needs to get these ladies on the same page, the music and screen play is way too much, dancers are very cheesy and short. The comedian in the middle of the show said one funny joke! The crowd said it all there was no laughter for the comedian and very little clapping for the dancers. One guy actually left the show and another fell asleep!!!! The ladies are not very attractive unless you are into super skinny, no boobs kind of dancers. They pulled a gentleman on stage towards the end and were dancing for him but, they didn't even touch him it was super cheezy and don't let the reviews of the champange glass fool you! We also ordered a soda and a juice, of course to add our own liqour and the wanted $12 for the drinks. This show wasn't even worth the half price that we paid for it!!! Let anyone you know going to Vegas NOT to waste their money on this show or their time. read more

I'm surprised by the negative reviews.. @Kat, I'm pretty sure they put the 'X' before 'Burlesque' in the title to give you a hint that it isn't like.. "classic" burlesque or whatever. Anyway, I think the show is great. I do agree it's cold in the room, but I kinda forgot about it after the first number :P The room is small with tables on each side with some rows of seats in front of the table sections. The main stage is small (about 25 feet across) with steps that lead down to the floor. Then there's a smaller square stage with a pole about 7 feet out from the stage. I was sitting in the front row of chairs, so the small pole stage was probably 2-3 feet away from me.. very cool. The tiny girl with black hair rubbed her boa scarf around my neck at one point :) I thought all the girls looked great, and appeared to be just having fun doing their thing. It's not as big of a production like Fantasy @ Luxor, which I liked a lot... much more intimate setting. The girls at Luxor are also beautiful and very talented, but I dunno.. I didn't like it nearly as much as X Burlesque. Oh, and Nancy, the comedian who does 12-15 minutes in the middle of the show, was hilarious.. that's another thing I didn't like @ Luxor. Their comedian is quite funny, but he had way too much stage time. Nancy came on once, told some funny stories, made fun of some audience members, and then she was done. The dude at the Luxor kept coming out to dance with the girls, tell more jokes, etc. After a while it was like "man, gtfo of my fantasy already wtf". I don't know exactly how to describe the show really, but the title helps. It's not burlesque, it's not quite a strip show... it's somewhere in between. The music was a mix of semi-modern rock (some Metallica), pop, older rock (Led Zeppelin), and maybe one country song. It was actually pretty tasteful, which was a nice surprise. Definitely worth the 15 minutes you have to wait in line to be seated in your section (which is GA, but I kinda get the idea.. you want to put the people who really *want* to be there up front to get a better atmosphere/energy going for the show). read more

Was a decent show. Needed a bit more comedy throughout. Compared to the Can Can Burlesque of Seattle it didn't match up. Still a decent show with good dancers. Comedian in the break was the highlight of the show. I wouldn't go again. read more

If you are in the mood to watch over-choreographed dance numbers (think high school dance team... only topless) then this is the show for you. If you are there for the dancing- you will be underwhelmed. If you are there for the topless part- you will be underwhelmed. There is a comedy piece at intermission but that will likely also leave you underwhelmed. It even seemed as if the girls themselves were not interested in being there- laughing through some routines and lackadaisical through others. No bar service and very, very uncomfortable chairs. If you want a good buzz kill- buy the discounted ticket at Vegas.com and have a good night! read more

The venue is tiny and crowded, but since it is a small venue, everyone has a decent view of the stage at least even if you're sitting along the back wall. There are a number of different acts with their own costumes and sets - but we didn't feel like anything was spectacular or over the top. The performances are okay, but it really seemed kind of boring to be honest. Seems overpriced for what it is, given there are so many other competing shows on the strip. read more

Good show, well put together, small venue so not a bad seat in the house. I prefer this setting over the larger productions that seem to commercial for me.I've been twice and not disappointed read more

i guess this is what passes for a main-stream interpretation of burlesque. the girls are all pretty in an athletic barbie sort of way. the choreography isn't very good; it is especially noticeable the more girls that are on the stage. the bungee solo and the bath tub duet are the highlights of the show. i am not a big stand-up fan but i give the comedian james bean props for handling a drunk heckler in a professional manner. the musical selections are great; but the segue between songs is too abrupt. i guess this show is geared more towards people who find strip clubs to be too "sleazy" or "naughty" and find burlesque to be to "artsy" or "weird" read more

This show was the highlight of my Las Vegas Vacation. My day started out having my flight home cancelled. I figured if I was going to be in Las Vegas for one more day I might as well make the most of it. I bought a ticket to the show that day. This is the only time I've ever been thankful that my flight was cancelled. The show was fantastic ,the ladies were beautiful and so so talented. I was impressed from the beginning to the end. If you go to Las Vegas and don't see this show you have really missed out. I guarantee next time I'm in Las Vegas I will go see the show again. Thank you ladies for a wonderful show!!! read more

(Started a Yelp account just to write this review.) Spent nearly $400 on VIP tickets for my wife, two friends and myself for my birthday. Wanted to leave within a few minutes but stuck through because I spent the money.. It quickly became clear the show was less about a Vegas experience with strippers, and more about choreography and the art of dance. The show was also explained on their website as "intimate space allows for distinctive close proximity to the guests" .. code for cramped spaces. Close proximity to the guests is a lie. It sounds like lap dances, but the closest they get is about eight feet on a mini stage with a pole which was only used for a few seconds at a time, very few times through the show. Other reviewers were spot on with noting the uncomfortably cramped room, low temperature, and extremely loud music given the small space. Also the comedian who came out halfway through the show.. Other reviewers pointed out that it was only insult comedy to the guests and cracking a few jokes about men in the audience being gay. Yeah, lady... It is not 1994 anymore. Society is now mostly accepting of one man's love for another. Get some new material. The lady actually called my wife a bitch twice because she couldn't stand being minorly heckled. We pay your salary, the least she can do is give some material that doesn't make the guests mad. Insult comedy is the lowest, cheapest, and most simple to write. All in all.. If you want to see women doing something that gets the blood flowing to a man's external organs, go on the Internet for free (because it surely didn't do anything for me or the people I talked to after.) If you want to laugh at a comedy show, turn the TV on and put it on Comedy Central. However if you want live action, go to a strip club. $400 will get you and your friends much, much more intimately close to a dancer. One star for the experience, but the dancers were actually very good at what they do.. But it would have been avoided if the advertisements were honest in saying that it is strictly a topless only show about dance. read more

Simply, terrible. There is nothing Burlesque about this show. It's nothing more than topless dancing. I've heard it was good before it moved to the, smaller flamingo venue, but it's total garbage now. I wouldn't attend the show again, even if I was given free tickets. It's a complete waste of time. read more

This show was whatever. No story, bad choreography. No big talent. This was a PG strip perfoamce. Just go to a strip club! You'll have way more fun. read more

The show was good. No need to pay for PINK seats. All seats are good in this small venue. Exactly what we expected for a show at this casino. Girls were good at what they do. It was fine. read more

So I had time one evening and I went "half-off show tickets" booth next to Bally's to see what I can get to kill some time, most of the shows were either very expensive or not on that night, so I decided to see X-Burlesque. I paid $41, I am glad I did not pay more because this shows barely worth's $41. I was recommended to take the discount ticket to box office one hour before the show to validate it, which I did. Then instead of waiting in line for an hour, I went to eat dinner. Came back 10 minutes before the show and I was the last guy in line, so I got the last seat. There were I think 10-12 girls dancing in small groups, while one group is dancing other group was getting ready. Yes, they get topless at every dance scene. Dances were okay, just okay, some girls had timing issues, could not keep of with the rest of the group, which shows that they do not practice enough. Lighting was designed so we do not see too much of girls, which is why they all looked to have spotless bodies. Although it was hard to see from all the way back. It was an okay show, worth the half-price I paid, will not repeat. read more

The difference between the advertised hype and the actual show leaves a lot to be desired. Some of the girls were really lazy and there was one girl who mis-stepped all night. I don't think that there was enough teasing and tantalizing from the dancers. The pole work was also mediocre. A lot of the solo spots from the girls were great like when Britney was in white or the girl in teal dancing to a 60's era song. I was glad I saw the show, but it wasn't as spectacular as I hoped. read more

Ummm...there is nothing Burlesque about this show. Its not sultry, seductive or sexy. They should call it X Crazy Girls because they just dance topless to top 40 music. Its like going to a local club and watching a group of 6 girls dance in formation without bras. Some of the girls are A and some are C cups. Ive seen most of the female revue shows in Vegas and this one is just not done right. I walked out after 30 mins because it was a joke. read more

Good Burlesque show but from the previews before the show I was expecting more. They have a video before the show that shows the girls doing amazing acts but the live acts were sub-par. read more

Fantastic show. The pink seats are definitely worth the money. The only criticism might be that the chairs are a bit hard. Not enough of an issue to drop a star. The venue was smaller than we expected, yet it didn't matter. The performance was excellent. The comedienne was funny. The performers were beautiful and talented. I was not disappointed. read more

VEGAS BABY! Let me say, X Burlesque was everything I hoped it would be and more! Gorgeous ladies, Gorgeous outfits, Sexy dances, the stage lighting/special effects ... EVERYTHING!! On top of all that: THESE LADIES CAN DANCE! You can tell they have some type of dance background [as do I] so I loved seeing such TALENT! :) **WOMEN REVIEWERS: DO NOT BE AFRAID TO SEE THIS SHOW! I even took a photo with the ladies after, they're so beautiful and kind XO **MEN REVIEWERS: Need I say more ;) Last night was my FIRST NIGHT EVER IN VEGAS! Glad I started it off on the right foot by seeing this SEXY SHOW!! X Burlesque 5 STARS FROM THIS GIRL! MUST SEE!! XO read more

Fantastic show in every respect ! Went on a Wednesday night with group of friends to our surprise the show was packed. Perfect venue, all seats are great. If you upgrade to VIP you'll feel like you're in the show. The show was about an hour and ten minutes. It was so good i felt like i just sat down. It's obvious there are creative and bright minds / creators behind this very entertaining program. The non stop energy was way more than what we expected and bargained for. I give credit to all involved from producers and directors to entertainers and door staff, all first class. I would definitely see this again and other shows offered by this group. This is a bargain offering classy, elegant entertainment with music to match. read more

Not a Vegas show to see compared to Pinup etc. there is a comedian who promises 12 min between acts ( it's is a horrific torture that lasts over 20). She insults in mean spirited malicious ways throws useless f bombs and really brings down the level of an already barely together experience. Some girls were clearly classically trained, but it was a tough night. read more

Nice try, but no thanks. The venue is extremely small and the seating is uncomfortable. The legs in the beginning of the show was kinda wierd, the dancing never go that great and the pole routine was anything but fantastic. What was really distracting is that the pole is in the middle of the small room and while there was a girl on the pole there were girls dancing on stage it was hard to choose who to watch, actually it wasn't the dancing on stage was more entertaining then a girl holding on to a pole to dance. I was expecting nice tricks on the pole, but like most poles at vegas topless shows they look like they can fall over at anytime. Do not see this show. read more

Definitely not what I've expected. This place is works on first come first serve basis. The line to get in stretches in the middle of a casino. And you're standing right In front of a bar which is okay but horrible If you can't take cigaret smoke. Got a headache while waiting. When you walk in its a small stage. Nothing too crazy. There were only 2 dancers that were appeasing and knew what they were doing.... Overall the show was monotonous and Boring. I came here with 5 other people and they felt the same way. Very minor acrobatic stuff. If you've seen a$$ and tits before. Go somewhere else. The only upside to this show is that they had a comedian come up on stage for about 5 mins to wake us up. Which worked. read more
