Just one step into the new Chippendales Theater at the Rio Hotel Casino and guests are urged to take a walk on the wild side. An exotic journey of men, it's where women scream and men take it off - and everyone is happy.
Leaving their men at home and promised "complete satisfaction," the mostly female audience watches as a countdown begins. The end of the countdown marks the transition from a Las Vegas theater into a women's playground, where fantasies come to life in the form of "Chippendales The Show."
From firemen and construction workers to cowboys and military men, "Chippendales The Show" feeds women's fantasies of men in uniform. But the dancers don't stay in uniform for very long, as hard hats disappear and hard bodies abound, satisfying the women's curiosity of boxers or briefs.
The journey takes the audience to the hip-hop streets of New York and the line dancing saloons of the wild, wild West, making sensual stops in the jungle, in a nightclub and at a game show. Some lucky women get to join the men on stage as contestants of "Chipp Date." The women are asked intimate questions, trying to win a mythical date with a Chippendale contestant. But all the women are winners and are able to live out their most sensual fantasies as a few dancers join them to tastefully tease and tantalize them.
The entertainers continue to strut their stuff on stage while removing their clothing playfully, piece by piece, choreographed to such hits as "Hero" by Enrique Iglesias and "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy" by Big & Rich.
Chippendale Bryan Cheatham gives the audience a little bit more as he lends his vocals and gymnastic talents to scenes throughout the show. Singing everything from the sensual "Let's Get in On" by Marvin Gaye to "When Doves Cry" by Prince, Cheatham gets the audience worked up for the next sexy scenario.
The entertainment complex, designed specifically with women in mind, houses the new 400-seat intimate Chippendales Theater, Flirt cocktail lounge, a retail boutique with gifts varying from lingerie to bachelorette party fare and a ladies room, complete with a gossip pit. Billed as the ultimate girls night out, "Chippendales The Show," is just that - a place for fun, friends and flesh. |
