The ladies of Fantasy: The Strip’s Sexiest Tease might be the most visible entertainers on the Strip, and not just because removal of clothing onstage is part of their job description. If you get around Las Vegas Boulevard enough, there’s a chance you might see them representing their show at pool parties, grand openings and special events, or in casinos as they make their way to their destinations. (They tend to stand out from the crowd.)
Alas, some Las Vegas visitors are not fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time. Until recently on most nights they had to wait until 10:30 p.m. to catch one of the nightly performances of sensuous sirens such as girl-next-door Mariah, statuesque Soolin and gorgeous Gigi as they tease and strip in producer/choreographer Anita Mann’s long-running neo-burlesque dance revue. Even superfans of the show had to settle for admiration from afar.
Fantasy: The Strip’s Sexiest Tease now provides the solution for audience members looking for a little extra with a peek-behind-the-curtains option for aspiring superfans. The Fantasy VIP Experience provides an opportunity to meet a pair of cast members, who guide participating guests on a showroom tour that includes a pre-show photo opportunity, backstage footage, and a bag of merchandise.
“We are very excited,” said Mariah, a co-producer of the show. “We’re trying to limit it to 12 people so it will be intimate. Everybody has a chance to get pictures and ask all the questions they want. At 9:45, we’ll have cast members come and greet and meet all the people that purchased a VIP experience. They’ll usher them in, we’ll show a quick video and they can choose between a glass of champagne or a cocktail. Or a soda.”
The VIPs then meet a couple of cast members before being shown how lighting and sound is produced. “They can ask literally any questions they want and take as many photos as they want,” said Mariah. “We’re really, really excited.”
The meet-and-greets The Strip’s Sexiest Tease offers after every show remain part of the program, although the time spent basking in the glow of angelic Ashton, ravishing Rachael or sensuous Yesi is fleeting. The Fantasy VIP Experience allows a more casual option for exchanging words and getting that perfect picture with bombshell Abby, superstar Skyla or incomparable Indira.
Backstage access at the Atrium Showroom is prohibited, as it is very prop-heavy—the showroom also hosts Carrot Top, who uses dozens of props in his 8 p.m. shows. Fantasy has props too, including a bed for a romp-in-the-sheets act. But the show is all about the dancers, who are goddesses onstage but very human when it comes to fan interaction.
There are also new dancers. “In the last year we brought in four or five new ones and in January two cast members (Madison and Rivers) both went full time,” said Mariah. “We have added quite a few new dancers to our roster, and we’re very excited to have brand new energy.”
