The beautiful and talented ladies of Fantasy: The Strip’s Sexiest Tease stepped off the stage for a spell and posed for our cameras as they got their game on at next-door, 21+ bar Play Playground. The 15,000-square-foot space at Luxor is kid-like fun for adults, with cocktails and more than 20 immersive, hands-on games. The Fantasy dancers took time to explore some of the games, including Poker Parkour and Bullseye Bounce.
Make your night one to remember when you check out the new bar, but make sure to start or end the evening with tickets to Fantasy. The adults-only, topless revue has been hypnotizing and entertaining Las Vegas visitors for more than 24 years. With 15 choreographed numbers set to past and present pop hits, the cast of professionally trained dancers fulfill all your bedroom fantasies. The show is perfect for singles and couples of any persuasion and provides the perfect combination of dancing, live singing, immersive sets, beautiful costuming and, of course, sexiness. Audience interaction is a huge part of Fantasy, too, and lead singer Lorena Peril performs her hosting duties with aplomb.
Not only did the Fantasy ladies explore Play Playground, they also answered some fun questions centered around the words “games” and “play”.
