LAS VEGAS (October 17, 2024) – Tonight, FANTASY: The Strip's Sexiest Tease, the award-winning topless female revue, celebrated a milestone accomplishment of running for 25 years inside the Atrium Showroom at Luxor Hotel & Casino.

The scintillating ladies of the show debuted new numbers in the show choreographed by top celebrity talent including Mandy Moore and former cast member Yesi Burgess. During the red carpet event, the tantalizing show was honored with the Key to the Las Vegas Strip presented by Clark County Commissioner Ross Miller’s office and the Board of Commissioners to Emmy Award-winner Anita Mann, creator, producer and director of FANTASY.

Guests were welcomed by Travis Lunn, President & COO of Mandalay Bay and Luxor, who congratulated Mann and her team on their incredible accomplishment. The cast of FANTASY and the team at Anita Mann Productions were then presented with the Key to the Las Vegas Strip by the Clark County Commission, citing not only the show’s incredible milestone but also Mann and the show’s contributions to the city’s entertainment landscape as well as for their service to the Las Vegas community. Mann thanked her team and the cast, including past performers, many of whom were in attendance, for their dedication and commitment to their craft and the show. Mann also announced FANTASY’s charitable partner for 2025 will be ALS of Nevada, represented by Executive Director Dawn Newberg, and will receive a portion of each 25th Anniversary Commemorative Book sold, which was also unveiled and is now available for sale, priced at $25 in honor of the milestone.

To celebrate its silver anniversary, FANTASY enlisted well-known celebrity choreographers to debut a variety of fresh, sexy numbers. The creative genius who co-directed 2024 Victoria Secret Fashion Show and choreographed Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour,” Mandy Moore, choreographed a new opening number to a mix of “A Little Party Never Killed Nobody” by Fergie and “Dance The Night Away” by Dua Lipa as well as the show’s finale, a remix of “Last Dance.” Former cast member, Yesi Burgess, who now choreographs for shows throughout The Strip, returned to choreograph two new numbers – a fiery salsa to “Suavemente” and new country number to “Here for the Party.” District 78, famous for innovative musical interpretations on shows like “So You Think You Can Dance,” “Dancing with the Stars,” “The Masked Singer,” and “America’s Best Dance Crew,” helped bring the new numbers to life with new music cuts added to the show.

Fan-favorite routines “Nasty Girls” and “Roxanne,” both choreographed by Cris Judd, continue to anchor the sultry production. A re-imagined aerial silk number, set to “Feeling Good,” bewitched audiences, while “Black Velvet,” a seductive human cat’s cradle choreographed by Tiger Martina made a revamped return for the anniversary. The infectious “Hips Don’t Lie,” also made its return to the FANTASY stage, performed by the show’s powerhouse vocalist and host Lorena Peril. The reimagined version now features Peril interacting with a video of Brazilian recording artist and singer Thiago Gusi, who recreates Wyclef Jean’s role on the track. Moore, Burgess, Martina, District 78 and Gusi also joined Mann and the FANTASY cast for the red carpet and show.

Mann and FANTASY were also joined by Jeff Thacker, Emmy Award-winning producer of “So You Think You Can Dance;” Glorya Kaufman, founder of the USC Glorya Kaufman School of Dance; Kenny Ortega, Emmy Award-winning choreographer and director; Tony Award-winner BK Fulton; Owen Joyner, MTV Movie + TV Award-winning actor for “Julie and the Phantoms” and star of the upcoming Final Destination: Bloodlines flim; George Kosturos, award-winning actor at Boston, Napa Valley and Newport Beach Film Festivals; cast members from male revue Thunder From Down Under; comedian and magician Murray SawChuck; James Edward from “Potted Potter;” cast members from female revue, Lady Like; tribute shows Australian Bee Gees, Purple Reign and Legends in Concert; Blayke Harris from Vegas the Show; Marcus Collins from The Texas Tenors; and Bill Medley and Bucky Heard from The Righteous Brothers.
