LAS VEGAS, NEV. - Harrah's Las Vegas Casino & Hotel and Greg Thompson Productions will launch an all-new late-night adult revue on Friday, August 25. "Skintight," a sexy medley of hot musical selections, sensual lighting, breathtaking choreograoht and the appearance of a gorgeous Playboy Playmate, will be performed nightly (dark Thursday) in Harrah's Main Showroom.
Thompson, who has staged numerous successful shows in Atlantic City, Lake Tahoe, Reno, Laughlin and other gaming makers, developed his latest effort especially for Harrah's Las Vegas with the help of long-time partner, award-winning choreographer Mistinguett.
The show will be performed in Harrah's main showroom Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Friday at 10:30 p.m., Wednesday at 7:30 and 10:30 p.m., and Saturday at midnight (dark Thursday). Tickets are $39.95 plus tax.
Lead dancer Shannon O'Keefe (who appeared in the "Playboy Wet and Wild" video), Playboy Playmate Cynthia Brimhall and the talented male and female cast of "Skintighf' keep audiences on the edge of their seats. The series of mesmerizing song and dance numbers is set to exotic sensual rhythms, pulsating rock 'n' roll beats and lively pop sounds.
"Harrah's new show offers the best late-night adult entertainment in town," said Suzanne Trout, vice president of marketing at Harrah's Las Vegas. "We selected this show because of its great production value ... it hearkens back to the days when late-night shows were tasteful and sexy ... featuring beautiful showgirls in elaborate costumes."
The singing, dancing and sheer late-night magic unfolds to the beat of more than 40 songs, ranging from Prince and Santana to Brian Selzer and Chris Isaacs. The action is literally non-stop, each sequence flowing into the next, creating teasing vignettes that display the beauty, technical abilities and grace of the 11-member dance troupe.
"We'll be doing some erotic light projections on dancers' bodies that are pretty spectaculm," said Mistinguett, who was just named to the Broadway Round Table Choreographer's Hall of Fame, along with Jerome Robbins, Michael Bemeu and Bob Fosse. "There are some very provocative numbers that tap into fantasies everyone can relate to."
"Nobody works men and women together like Mistinguett," said Greg Thompson, producer of the awud-winning shows, "Lipstick," "Playboy Ecstasy," and "Heartbeat." "A lot of choreographers can move people around on stage, but to create real passion, you have to have someone who really has an innate feel for the sexual power of music."
The show is all at once upbeat and fast-paced, with enough romantic, sensual variations to keep audiences both breathless and thoroughly engaged.
