Cocktails and good times are sure to make you merry this holiday season, but punch it up a little by adding in some hot hunks and themed libations! Instead of heading to the club, make a night of it at Magic Mike Live Las Vegas at SAHARA Las Vegas and get into the holiday spirit, sexy-style.

For the first time, the adults-only male revue has added in some holiday cheer with themed costumes and numbers, as well as transforming the lounge into a holiday party spot with themed cocktails. You’ll have to purchase tickets to the show to enjoy it all, but we say it’s the perfect night out to get in the holiday mood … and then get in the mood (wink, wink).
In 2017, actor and heartthrob Channing Tatum—who starred in the Magic Mike franchise—helped bring the movie to the stage as co-producer and director, and while it has changed properties a couple of times, it found its permanent home at SAHARA Las Vegas in 2021 in a theater built for the show. That is one of the things that sets this male revue apart from others: Guests don’t just stare at performances onstage—the men perform around the whole theater, which is designed to look like a two-story club. Magic Mike Live Las Vegas aims to empower women and teach them about what they deserve and what they should want from a partner. The show also makes it a point to celebrate females—from head to toe and heart to mind. But don’t fret, it’s not all PG; the show is packed with all the sweaty, shirtless and sexually charged vignettes you could want.
Combined with some of the hottest music hits—and a nice touch is some of the guys perform live music numbers with instruments, too—impressive dance numbers show off all the guys’ phenomenal skills while they make moves that’ll make the most liberal of women blush. The whole theater continually erupts with shrieks of delight and thunderous applause after each number. Fake dollar bills are provided so you can make it rain for some of your favorite dancers.
One of those dancers includes Emmett (pictured). He joined the show two years ago and is a featured dancer in several numbers, including one where he plays the piano. “People that come to the show might have a lot going on in their life, and you can come see a show like this and have a moment—be able to relax, to feel catered to and seen,” Emmett says. “That’s the most beautiful part of the show, I think. If you’re able to make guests leave the theater with more hope or love, I think you’re doing your job as a performer.”

Emmett is holding one of the four specially themed cocktails, the Straw-Merry Margarita, with blanco tequila, triple sec, strawberry rose syrup, cranberry juice and fresh lime juice, topped with rosé prosecco and garnished with a salt rim, rosemary sprig and dried cranberries. Also on the menu is the Jingle Bellini, with white peach purée, vanilla liqueur, prosecco and a powdered sugar rim with candy cane garnish; and the Xmas Kiss shot, with RumChata peppermint cream liqueur, chocolate liqueur and a crushed candy cane rim. There is also a nonalcoholic option (although you can add vanilla vodka—it’s delish!), the Naughty or Nice?, made with espresso, cream and brown sugar syrup, garnished with a powdered sugar rim, chocolate flakes and a mini candy cane. Enjoy all four while chilling pre- or postshow inside the holiday-decorated lounge and make it a true night of magical Christmas cheer.
Insider’s Tips
