<\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\nA popular topless revue, \u201cX Rocks,\u201d is making a comeback and we in no way intended that to be a double entendre, despite the fact we\u2019re going to give you a second to read this sentence again. Please grow up.<\/p>\n
\u201cX Rocks\u201d is from the same folks, Stabile Productions, as \u201cX Burlesque\u201d at Flamingo and \u201cX Country\u201d at Harrah\u2019s, all reliably excellent.<\/p>\n
The formula is simple, tried and true: Young, fit women. Music. Choreography. Costumes. Boobs. (Note: Everything before \u201cboobs\u201d is sort of optional.)<\/p>\n Shows in the \u201cX\u201d family have the formula down, and these shows sit somewhere between the glossy \u201cFantasy\u201d at Luxor and a strip club.<\/p>\n The dancers tend to seem more real and approachable than in other shows and the venues are more intimate. (Inside showball: The deal with Horseshoe is what\u2019s called a \u201cfour wall,\u201d meaning the show pays rent to Caesars Entertainment for use of the space.)<\/p>\n \u201cX Rocks\u201d had a run at Rio<\/a> that started back in Sep. 2013. There\u2019s a nearly 100% chance none of the dancers in the show in 2013 are in the new version. That\u2019s just how Vegas and the world work. This doesn\u2019t just apply to topless revues. Why do you think the cast of \u201cJabbawockeez\u201d wear masks? It\u2019s so dancers can be seamlessly swapped out when they hit their expiration date.<\/p>\n \u201cX Rocks\u201d was also at Bally\u2019s (now Horseshoe), but was shown the door when Caesars Entertainment pulled the plug<\/a> on a number of its mid-tier entertainment spaces.<\/p>\n \u201cX Rocks\u201d will play in the Imagine Theater at Horseshoe, which we didn\u2019t know exists. Come to find out, they changed the name of the Windows Showroom to The Magic Attic to Imagine Theater without letting us know. Rude.<\/p>\n The biggest difference between the various \u201cX\u201d shows is the music, obviously. \u201cX Country\u201d has a country theme, \u201cX Rocks\u201d features rock music and \u201cX Burlesque\u201d has a mix of rock, country and R&B.<\/p>\n As mentioned, though, who cares? The music, costumes and choreography are mostly there so guys can bring their wives and girlfriends. Costumes and choreography are what women believe men want to see in a topless revue. It\u2019s adorable.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a description of \u201cX Rocks\u201d from the news release: \u201c\u2018X Rocks\u2019 has exactly what it takes to turn the party up. Set in an intimate, cabaret-like environment, the 70-minute female revue allows for distinctive, close proximity to the guests, as this titillating burlesque show treats the audience to high-energy performance to some of rock\u2019s most popular songs, including \u2018Still of the Night\u2019 by Whitesnake, \u2018Welcome to My Nightmare\u2019 by Alice Cooper, and \u2018Wildside\u2019 by Motley Crue.\u201d<\/p>\n We, personally, are not a rock person, so attending a show with this music would be akin to jumping into the Arctic Ocean while watching members of the Rolling Stones get sponge baths.<\/p>\n Ditto country, but thankfully, the \u201cX\u201d shows have something for everyone.<\/p>\n We are pleased to see \u201cX Country\u201d says very clearly it\u2019s a \u201cfemale revue.\u201d The whole revue thing has gotten muddier recently. Example: \u201cRouge\u201d at The Strat. It should be sexy, but it\u2019s just awkward, because there are both scantily-clad men and women in it. Never before have so many penises and lady parts been so confused.<\/p>\n Again, to each their own, and we aren\u2019t just saying that to avoid being canceled.<\/p>\n There is comfort in the knowledge \u201cX Rocks\u201d is going to be exactly what you expect it to be. Perky, sassy, empowered eye candy, the way Mother Nature intended!<\/p>\n Yes, one can be a feminist and appreciate topless revues, in case you wondered. When you write a Las Vegas blog, it\u2019s required.<\/p>\n \u201cX Rocks\u201d runs Wednesday through Saturday at 9:30 p.m., tickets start at a paltry $49.<\/p>\n Learn more about all the shows in the Stabile stable on the official Web site<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/x_rocks-845x563.jpg\"\/)
