The Empire Strips Back: A Burlesque Parody - Las Vegas

The show had our group laughing throughout the entirety of it.  We LOVED the experience and would go back in a heartbeat if/when we return to Vegas.  It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip.  Eric, aka Lando Calrissian's nephew, was an awesome host, loved every moment he was on stage.  He kept the energy up throughout the evening, keeping the crowd engaged and smiling.  My only complaint for the evening is that the men involved in the show barely stripped!  There could be more balance there for sure.  I said we were laughing throughout- the performances were done tastefully and luringly, but the connection to Star Wars is what had us laughing (as well as it being, what seemed to be intentional, a little cheesy).  Seeing Princess Leia do a sexy "carwash" with the Landspeeder just makes me giggle. As for the venue, everything went smoothly.  Staff were helpful and clear in their directions, the space was clean and organized, and there didn't seem to be a bad seat in the house.  We sat toward the back and we didn't feel that we missed out on anything. Below, I compiled a list of the characters that performed.  If you don't want to know before going, scroll on past.

This was one of the best shows I have seen in Vegas. I cannot wait to attend the one in Denver where I live. The skits were both mesmerizing and hilarious. The dancing was very professional and tasteful. The audience participation lead by Lando Calrissian was engaging and fun. The show was much better than I expected.

What a fantastic show! The Star Wars burlesque parody was creative, hilarious, and full of incredible energy from start to finish. Erick the host was amazing truly hilarious! The performers were talented, the choreography was on point, and the crowd interaction kept everyone entertained the entire time. You can tell the cast truly loves what they do they brought the galaxy to life in such a fun, cheeky way! I went for my birthday and took my boyfriend, and we both absolutely loved it! It ended up being such a fun and special night we’ll definitely remember. If I had one tiny suggestion, it would be: more lace, more sultry less bikini vibes. It has moments of safe and cheesy more like a high school performance. The show already sparkles with personality, but leaning into a bit more of that classic burlesque tease and vintage glamour would make it absolutely perfect. Overall, an unforgettable night and a must-see for both Star Wars fans and burlesque lovers alike!

This was a random pick for us. We were super tired from going out the night before intil 4 in the morning. We didn't want to do anything major. We went to the late show and had just ate dinner.I had slept only two hours that day, so very tired.I was falling asleep, because of that and it was cold in there. But the show woke me up and had me laughing really fast. It was very funny and sexy. You cannot record anything other than the last goodbye type dance of the cast. Which is a good call, Because the show is so funny. I wouldn't have have hated to see anything in advance online and ruin it.

My wife and I went and it was absolutely fantastic! She had never been to a burlesque show before and enjoyed it as being sexy but not overly lewd or anything. I am a big Star Wars fan and thought it was funny and enjoyable for both SW fans and just someone looking for a fun burlesque show. Definitely worth the time to see and the drinks were pretty reasonable. The MC Eric was also great!

Expect to see strip tease dance numbers, not a show with a story line. It was entertaining, especially if you’ve had a few drinks— male dancers were great, as well as some female dancers. Knocked a star off because it does feel a bit amateur and cheesy like a talent show, a few female dancers had more charisma than others, the choreography was so so, and there was no story, which was disappointing— the dancers do a performance to a pop song, and between each song the emcee does a lot of crowd work, and almost too many "give me a round of applause for"s. All in all, it was not bad! Could use some work.

I have never fully watched a movie of Star Wars (I know, cringe) but I went with my family and absolutely loved it!! From what I’ve seen of Star Wars, this was fantastic. I think it was the perfect mix of Star Wars meets burlesque. The host Eric needs a raise and I don’t even know how much he makes. He was the star of the show in my eyes. Everyone I encountered from the outside staff, to bartenders, to merch stand, were all wonderful. For what we paid we had amazing seats, there truly was not a bad seat in house. I would go see this show again next time I’m in town!
