X Burlesque

X Girls strut their stuff in steamy show

By Kristine McKenzie

Edgy choreography, creative props and six beautiful dancers combine to form one sexy show - X Burlesque at the Flamingo.

The show stars the X Girls - a troupe of talented topless dancers, some of whom are classically trained.

X Burlesque is performed in an intimate 180-seat theater - a setting that allows for a lot of up-close and personal interaction with the dancers, who venture out into the crowd and perform on a stripper pole in the center of the room.

Video screens on either side of the stage display seductive footage and help introduce each number. The show is filled with popular music that will appeal to every taste from rock to country and the variety of styles allows each dancer to showcase her unique talents.

The playful titles for each vignette draw from the style of traditional burlesque shows. There is a spicy Latin number called "Chica Caliente" and a sultry striptease that features Aerosmith's "Pink." The number "Sweet and Innocent" is anything but innocent as two girls frolic together in a bathtub.

To the tune of Lenny Kravitz's "Fly Away," the girls, dressed as flirty flight attendants, invite one lucky "passenger" to go onstage and join their Mile High Club.

To give the audience a chance to cool down between the steamy numbers, comics like Nancy Ryan and James Bean entertain with adult humor during the show. 

X Burlesque caters to just about every male fantasy there is, making these "X"-rated dancers some of the sexiest on the Strip.
