If you're worried about Fantasy being "x-rated," don't. Anything from Spiegelworld is infinitely more adult than Fantasy at Luxor.
Fantasy reminds me a bit of a modern, all-female take on the former Jubilee! Show at Bally's. Like Jubilee, there are some topless dancing in fancy bejeweled costumes, but without the classic showgirl hats and feather back pieces (what are those things called?) There is dance numbers, acrobatics and arial silks, singing, comedy and audience work, and everyone has tops on during all the parts except for some select dance numbers.
I've seen more than 80 Las Vegas shows at this point - and I'm on a mission to see every show in town, including revue shows.
Honestly, Fantasy has the absolute best emcee for a show in Vegas - Lorena Peril. She sings, she hosts and she tells jokes while keeping the audience in check. She's so fun that it feels like the dance numbers are more for giving Lorena a break than for Lorena to fill the time while the set and costumes are changed.
I've seen this show twice - once during Veteran's Day week in 2022 and yesterday (January 2023.) The show was similar except there weren't any patriotic numbers or songs during the latest visit.
You might be surprised at how old the audience is. The bulk of the audience look to be retired couples that are 50+. There are some groups of guys or couples that are younger, but for the most part the audience skews way older than I would have assumed prior to the show.
Both times I've went Shayma Tash was the comedian. She is hilarious with her crowd work. While her set was basically the same, because her main bit with an audience member's purse is dependent on audience participation, it is different each time - and so funny. I had tears coming out of my eye she was so quick with the jokes. (Also, I never noticed how many women in Vegas carry novelty purses.) She can talk about adult jokes without being gross or crass. She's great.
Overall, I was worried that Fantasy was going to be some seedy adult strip show, but it's totally not like that. As long as you aren't offended by the sight of female nips anymore than male nips, this is a great show to see at Luxor.
