‘“X” Burlesque’ is one of the longest-running Las Vegas Strip productions around

Burlesque as an art form is one of the oldest in America, and “X” Burlesque is one of the longest-running Strip productions around. In fact, the venerable show, which features dance styles ranging from traditional burlesque style to hip-hop and modern, is celebrating its 22nd anniversary this year. But rest on its laurels? Never! If anything, the show feels like it’s just getting started.

Ever changing and revamping its lineup, the show, which features six dancers a night, has recently added a balloon act, scored to The Fifth Dimension’s “Up, Up and Away,” in which a performer wears a costume adorned with inflated balloons, then uses an ostrich feather to strategically pop them, revealing more and more skin as she goes. There’s also a new disco section with projection mapping, scored to music like “Stayin’ Alive,” “Disco Inferno” and “You Should Be Dancing.” In all, “X” Burlesque has added eight new numbers and several new costumes.

But it seems certain that some features of “X” Burlesque will never change, including The “Mile High Club” segment, in which an audience member is brought on board for some, uh, private moments with one of the dancers, all to the tune of Lenny Kravitz’s “Fly Away,” and the mid-way comedy segment, currently featuring a rotation of Nancy Ryan and James Bean.
