"Adult" in Vegas covers a lot more ground than most first-timers expect — male revues, female burlesque, and a couple of shows that don't fit either box.
We ranked every adult show in our catalog — the biggest productions first, then the specialists and the best-value picks. Every price is the real "from" price through Vegas Sidekick — no membership, no account, clear ticket details. Nearly all require guests to be 18+; we flag the one exception below.
From $69
90 minutes of world-class choreography and live music, created and directed by Channing Tatum in a purpose-built theater. The biggest production budget of any male revue on the Strip.
See Magic Mike Live →
From $100
Acrobatics, raunchy comedy, and full Wild West circus spectacle in the Waterfall Atrium at The Venetian. The priciest show on this list, and the most theatrically ambitious — less a revue, more a variety spectacular.
See Atomic Saloon Show →
From $82
The award-winning original — 75 minutes of topless burlesque that's been setting the standard other shows chase. If you only see one classic Vegas burlesque revue, this is the one most locals point to first.
See X Burlesque →
From $76
90 minutes of choreography, charm, and crowd interaction from the most recognized name in male revue anywhere in the world. A Vegas institution, not just a show.
See Chippendales →
From $70
Australia's hottest male revue — 70 minutes of dancing, strip tease, and crowd interaction built for bachelorette parties, girls nights, and birthdays. Runs every night, no dark nights.
See Thunder From Down Under →
From $51
A 1950s Las Vegas overrun by the undead — burlesque, variety acts, comedy, and a live band, played for laughs as much as skin. The most original concept in the category, and the one show on this list open to ages 16+.
See Zombie Burlesque →
From $54
A smaller, more intimate topless production at The STRAT Theater — stunning performers in a room where you're never far from the stage.
See Rouge →
From $57
Topless burlesque set to iconic rock and heavy metal anthems, from the same creators as X Burlesque. Elaborate sets, sultry choreography, and a comedic interlude between numbers.
See X Rocks →
From $65
Cowboy boots, country music, and topless choreography — the country-themed sibling to X Burlesque and X Rocks, at Harrah's Cabaret.
See X Country →
From $40
Fifteen energetic acts, real comedy, and a quarter-century of consistency at the Atrium Theater inside Luxor. One of the longest-running adult revues on the Strip, and one of the best-priced.
See Fantasy →
From $35
A two-hour, adults-only burlesque parody of iconic sci-fi characters — played for laughs and skin in equal measure. The least expensive adult show on this list, and a genuinely fun one for it.
See The Empire Strips Back →Want the biggest production? Magic Mike Live. Want the original, classic Vegas burlesque revue? X Burlesque. On a budget? The Empire Strips Back at $35 is a genuinely good time for the price.
Magic Mike Live is our top overall pick — the biggest production budget of any male revue on the Strip, created and directed by Channing Tatum. X Burlesque is the classic pick if you want the original, award-winning topless revue instead.
The Empire Strips Back at $35, followed by Fantasy at $40 — both genuinely good, not just cheap.
Magic Mike Live has the biggest production budget, Chippendales is the most iconic name in the category worldwide, and Thunder From Down Under is the long-running bachelorette-party favorite. All three are worth it for different kinds of nights out.
X Burlesque is the original and still the standard-bearer. Rouge is the more intimate alternative at The STRAT, and X Rocks and X Country put a rock or country spin on the same format.
All of these are 18+ (Zombie Burlesque is the one exception at 16+) and feature toplessness, but none of them are strip clubs — they're choreographed theatrical productions, not clubs. Expect stage nudity and adult themes, not audience-participation extremes.
Most require guests to be 18 or older with valid photo ID. Zombie Burlesque is the one exception on this list at 16+. Every guest needs a ticket regardless of age.

The order is based on fit for this specific guide, not who has the biggest ad budget. I weigh the show itself, price, audience fit, venue context and the tradeoff I would tell a friend before they bought.
