Vegas Chippendales to Linq Back Up With Caesars Entertainment
They’ve undressed for success at the Rio for 22 years. But after performing for around the 9,000th time for bachelorette and divorce parties there this New Year’s Eve, these dozen famously bow-tied hunks are moving to the Linq on the Las Vegas Strip. Opening day will be January 14 at illusionist Mat Franco’s theater.
Katerina Tabakhov, Chippendales’ director of operations, said in a statement that the troupe is “thrilled to be back in the Caesars Entertainment family, and moving to our new home on the Strip.”
Chippendales, which in 1979, became the first all-male dance revue to market itself primarily to female audiences, joined the Rio roster in 2001, back when Caesars Entertainment was known as Harrah’s. There, they sold more than 1 million tickets by ripping off more than 275K tank tops, according to a press release announcing their reunion with Caesars.
