| - Yelp apparently is treating the show as a different show than when it used to be at the Riviera. I updated my review on the old one before realizing this so I am copying it here.
I really don't understand some of these reviews.
Update: Now that they have moved to the Planet Hollywood I retract all my gripes about the theater and I have raised my rating because of this.
The girls all have hot bodies, their faces aren't anywhere near as hot. There is some criticism from other reviewers about them having athletic bodies--what do you expect of dancers? You normally don't find big boobs on bodies like that unless they're implants and I'm not going to gripe about a woman not having implants. They're down to 5 from the iconic 7, plus one singer that never takes anything off and the magician.
Update: The singer now gets pretty revealing.
I also can't understand the review that said the show is tame and doesn't show much. By the end of a number the dancers are usually reduced to a pretty skimpy lower garment or even flesh-colored g-string, sometimes they are also wearing some purely ornamental stuff that doesn't cover anything. Two numbers ended with the girl (both were solo acts) wearing nothing at all, remaining within the letter of the law (local law permits full nudity *OR* alcohol, not both and this is set inside a casino that serves alcohol) only by careful positioning.
As for the warning about the penis pillow, don't worry about it. It only shoots paper streamers, being hit is of no consequence.
Update: Took some relatives to see it and it's changed again.
They're now back to 7 dancers, they have taken advantage of this to greatly cut down on the amount of scene-change time as now there is generally something going on in front of the curtain (rather than just the singer) while they get the stage ready.
However, they have cut down on the amount of nudity. It used to be only the singer didn't strip, now there are multiple numbers were everybody doesn't go beyond PG-13. On the flip side they have added a solo scene that I think involves full nudity at more than just the end of the act--they're just very careful about angles and lighting.
I also dislike what they have done with the lighting, in my opinion it detracts from the show.
These changes are a bit of a negative to me but not enough to make me change my rating.
