A digital resort area which was designed by women for girls, the theater complex boasts 21,000 square feet of a woman’s oasis in the desert. The 40-seat balcony offers private VIP heavens lounges, where girls celebrate special occasions from bachelorette to divorce bashes and may assemble in groups. Likewise, the women room decor is alluring, feminine and chic, featuring an exclusive rumor orchestra pit and multiple mini-makeover stations. Besides the theater, there’s a broad 1,500 square foot ultra Flirt lounge with a pub offering a stylized, intimate feel. A menu of specialty cocktails continues to be created for “The Ultimate Girls’ Night Out!,” where flavored rums, vodkas, tequilas and, obviously, champagne, are combined with unique ingredients and fruit juices to produce innovative cocktails. A next 2,100 square-foot retail boutique is host to an assortment of items that appeal to girls, such as bachelorette party equipment and exclusive Chippendales apparel.

The Show was revamped into an even more notable performance, whole with costuming, scenic design and new musical selections.

History

Chippendales is a touring dance troupe best known for its male erotic dancing (striptease) performances and for its dancers’ distinctive upper body costume of a bow tie and shirt cuffs worn on an otherwise bare torso.

Established in 1979, Chippendales was the first all-male stripping troupe to make a business performing for mostly female audiences. Through the quality of its staging and choreography, Chippendales also helped legitimize stripping as a form of popular entertainment.

Today, the company produces Broadway-style shows worldwide and licenses its intellectual property for select consumer products ranging from apparel and accessories to slot machines and video games. The Chippendales perform in a ten-million dollar theater and lounge built specifically for them at the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Annually, the official men of Chippendales are seen by almost two million people worldwide, performing in more than 25 cities in the U.S., 23 cities in Central and South America, 60 European cities, four Asian countries, and eight South African cities.
