Turn Up the Heat

The lights go down, the music hits a crescendo and two guys wearing all black slide across the stage. Two more follow. The lighting is still dim, but as the surroundings get brighter, it’s a bevy of men wearing identical black sleeveless hoodies. Their names are announced, and they step into the spotlight and unzip to show off chiseled six-pack abs and astoundingly good looks. This is Chippendales The Show, and it’s time to grab your girls and check it out.

The 75-minute, fully choreographed show at Rio promises an evening of libido-elevating thrills and bedroom desires come to life. There are plenty of different looks and personalities. Sit back before the show starts to watch videos of photo shoots with such hunks as Jon Howes, Matt Marshall, Ryan Worley, Ryan Kelsey and James Davis so you can pick out your favorite. Whatever you choose, there’s a man to provide that perfect fantasy.

Does yours involve construction workers? Chippendales has you (un)covered. Fluorescent orange sledgehammers and welding tools shooting off sparks never looked so sexy. Cowboys? They’ll wrap a lady up in a rope to Big & Rich’s “Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy).” Firemen? Fantasy realized, complete with full firefighting gear, but good luck extinguishing your excitement.

You’ll also see dance styles that vary from hip-hop to modern and more. And the music itself is always changing to reflect what’s hot on the charts. “The show is for everyone 18 to 100,” says Davis.

And the show is always full of surprises, continually hosting a who’s who of pop culture personalities. Past guests have included Tyson Beckford, Perez Hilton, Antonio Sabato Jr., Dancing With the Stars’ Tony Dovolani and Jersey Shore’s Vinny Guadagnino.

Whether it’s a bachelorette party, a birthday or a mother/daughter night out, go have some fun, Vegas-style. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff

Top of the Game

When the Palms went through its recent property-wide redesign and rebranding, the cherry on top—literally, on top, 55 floors up to be exact—was the Apex Social Club. The nightlife playground is an intimate, upscale space and affords 360-degree views of the Vegas valley along with a spacious patio and interior design that will make for some of the best social media postings in the city. –KM
