Burlesque Theater

Here are some more information for Burlesque Theater:

Apart from gambling, nothing quite says Las Vegas like a good, old-fashioned comedy show. Many try their hand at entertaining the tourists with humor, but only a very few actually succeed. One of the lucky ones, able to weed through the muck, is the comedy-slash-burlesque show Sin City Comedy.

There's certainly nothing flashy about the name, but it's ironically poignant in a classic Vegas sorta way. With the city itself, you would be hard-pressed to find any comic not taking shots at Vegas, but Sin City Comedy doesn't get by on selling the same old cigarette-smoking senior citizens routine.

Playing at the V Theater on the Miracle Mile in Planet Hollywood, Sin City Comedy deals with three comics (subject to change at any time) delivering both separate sets and partnered skits. As the show starts, the comics make it clear that self-deprecating humor and Las Vegas certainly go hand in hand.

The show's producer and frequent host, John Padon, decided to add in the burlesque routines for more visual stimulation. After watching the comics, most of the audience need something pleasant to look at. Padon can be seen all around Vegas, including the topless show Fantasy and even opening up for Carrot Top.

The space Sin City Comedy is sharing in the V Theater is a bit on the oddly shaped side. To get there, the audience must walk up the steps and out over a terrace into a 200-seat theater with an out-of-place hallway and a recessed alcove. The acoustics in the room are still decent, and the plethora of wall monitors adds a bit of a studio feel to the small space.

As far as the comedy goes, there's nothing set in stone when it comes to Vegas comedians. Sure, they all have their fair share of material, no matter who's doing a set at Sin City Comedy that night, but if you're sitting in the audience, then you might become fair game for a comic in need of a cheap laugh. But don't take it personally, it's only comedy.

The layout of the show is certainly subject to change due to the basic nature of comedy, but there are three comics sharing the duties, as well as an attractive model parading around in a school girl's uniform and performing sporadic private dances on a lucky audience member or few.

Other dance numbers break out during the show in order to keep the audience revved up and ready to go for the next comic. With a few comedic skits, three sets and the aforementioned dance routines, fans are getting over a solid hour of entertaining comedy for a relatively low price. At last check, $60 was the top price for a ticket.
