2O13, October A group of Las Vegas burlesque performers and supporters, headed by Cha Cha Velour, launched the inaugural Las Vegas Burlesque Festival. For three glittery filled days the festival focused on filling a need in the city to celebrate and showcase budding burlesque talent as well as creating a space for local, national and international burlesque stars to perform and share their art. 70 performers from the local area and from around the globe converged on the entertainment capital of the word. They helped to create Las Vegas’ very first home grown burlesque festival. Over 600 festival-goers were in attendance. 2O14, April During the spring of 2014, ownership of the Las Vegas Burlesque Festival was transferred to Cory Royer. Cory, at the time, was co-creator of BEAUTEASE Burlesque, and was the owner/director of a very successful “Vermont Burrrlesque Festival.” 2O14, November The Las Vegas Burlesque Festival found a new home with Boyd Gaming at The Gold Coast Hotel and Casino. During it’s second year the festival expanded to 4 days and included a Sunday morning brunch showcase.
