Indoor ticketed performances in Las Vegas carry a 9.0% Nevada Live Entertainment Tax (LET) on face value plus primary box-office facility and order fees.
Rouge is a very Funny, Very Sexy Circus act with Strippers! If you are looking for a fun night out with your partner, this show has something for everyone. The theater is thoughtfully designed to keep everyone close to the action.
Saw “Rouge” last night and it was amazing! Worth every penny!! Sexy, funny, all-around entertaining. What I love about the showroom is it reminds me of the old movies from Vegas. This is the first show I’ve seen all week that had these cool booths. I hope they don’t change it.
The Rouge is an awesome show. Amazing acts and stunts, funny and a bit sexy. Bottom line very entertaining and NOT raunchy. Much better than fantasy. My wife who I thought would hate the show thought it was better than Michael Jackson’s one and Circus O.
The Illuminate Show was very entertaining. Lots of excellent dancers and lights. I think the only bad part was if you set too close to the stage ruins the light objects floating in free space because you can see the people in black suites holding the objects.
WOW THIS WAS A AWESOME SEXY SHOW, Funny sexy and would do again! The bar outside the show makes the drinks HARD so TOP RIGHT. We had so much fun with comedy man and woman. Although the show is very Rouge it is for adults. And adult show it is come enjoy
