| - For me a visit to Sin City just wouldn't be complete without catching a topless stage act. In recent years I've seen Crazy Girls, Crazy Horse Paris (titled La Femme at the time) and Donn Arden's Jubilee, but during my last visit my planned visit to see Fantasy was sidetracked when my travel companion refused to go. I don't recall what his problem was, but since I'm traveling solo on this visit I decided to finally check out the Fantasy show at the Luxor.
Needless to say if nudity bothers you this is not the show for you. Go catch a comedy act or a magic show instead. Also, if you're looking for something suggestive or raunchy stay far away from this show and visit one of the many strip clubs or gentleman's clubs throughout the Las Vegas area. While this is not family-oriented entertainment it is entertainment nonetheless with singing, dancing, impersonations and crude humor.
Personally, I enjoyed the show. Let's face it. If you are a somewhat normal, single, heterosexual, meat-eating, marathon running guy like I am, you'll enjoy the show too! I had the exact second row seat for which I had viewed Carrot Top's show one night earlier and the nine ladies on the stage were almost in my lap.
Former Baywatch star and Playboy cover girl Angelica Bridges (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/SYKC66fxrtytQAIae9xd-Q?select=DPxs_CG0wOhcWBDF8istsg) isn't a great vocalist, but her sultry ways were perfect for a show like this, and her hot-enough-for-Playboy looks don't hurt her either. The other eight dancers who perform numbers both with and without tops aren't very much in sync during the group dance numbers, but realistically I don't think many people attend this show expecting to see outstanding choreography.
Individually, the ladies can dance and not many would argue that after seeing Sonya do her elegant, sensuous and dangerous high-above-the-stage aerial ribbon dance (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/SYKC66fxrtytQAIae9xd-Q?select=ORLOuf8rBy8rh3MBwyYa2g) or watching Lesi shake and gyrate her Shakira-like hips on center stage. Lindsay does a great fan dance, and the majority of the guys (and some ladies) cheered loudly for Tracey's number on the stripper pole.
The show has one male cast member in comedian / impersonator Sean E. Cooper (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/SYKC66fxrtytQAIae9xd-Q?select=RvAtxOIBj2Q0MQXRLIrw6A) whose impersonations of James Brown (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/SYKC66fxrtytQAIae9xd-Q?select=t0KBoCdc-EXOht-_hJEt6Q), Sammy Davis Jr. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/SYKC66fxrtytQAIae9xd-Q?select=sKTyNJt8V-OlSBgt7I_CHA), Michael Jackson (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/SYKC66fxrtytQAIae9xd-Q?select=F_IaBH_RGWIhaV6oOd4Egw), Elvis Presley and Tina Turner (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/SYKC66fxrtytQAIae9xd-Q?select=wVwBx2rDUATrcoFNgWNx5g) had show patrons rolling in their seats. His sense of humor and his crude jokes were hilarious.
At the conclusion of the show most of the cast members come out to the theater's lobby to do a meet and greet with their fans. They answer questions, sign free autographs and pose for photos for anybody who is interested. I got a chance to chat with Angelica Bridges who came around as a very friendly and personable person. I've posted my meet and greet photos in the photos section.
