Burlesque Hall of Fame in Las Vegas
The Burlesque Hall of Fame is going on in Las Vegas this weekend at The Orleans Hotel and Casino. There are going to be dozens and dozens of classic burlesque performers as well as a ton of new burlesque talent keeping an old style of sexy entertainment alive and well for our generation. Tickets are on sale on The Orleans website.
I’m looking at Burlesque Hall of Fame’s website at the moment. I’ve never seen so many pasties! Granted, they aren’t required at most adult establishments these days, but it makes me think… There’s something really missing from modern day adult entertainment… starting with real performance, costuming, and, well, enthusiasm for what they are doing! I’ve known a handful of adult dancers that wanted to make an attempt at featured performer status and tried to put more into their act but the clubs these days are just not geared for it. That’s a damned shame. The Burlesque Hall of Fame, as well as the other events surrounding it including the free-to-the-public Burlesque Bazaar, will hopefully continue to whet the public’s appetite for more creative, participatory adult entertainment. This city of mine could use it.
Burlesque performers: We’d love to get an interview and some photos of you to write about burlesque on While Las Vegas Sleeps! Email us!

I expect to be in Las Vegas Oct. 20th – 26th.
Is the Burlesque Museum no longer there?? If not, would you happen to know the next best thing. I’m most interested in the historical development of Burlesque.
