JUST ANNOUNCED: Titans of Tease 2011

We are thrilled to reveal the lineup for the 54TH ANNUAL BURLESQUE REUNION SHOWCASE! On June 3, 2011 the gorgeous, 850-seat Orleans Showroom will play host to a once-in-a-lifetime lineup of legendary stripteasers–including venerated veterans of the ’40s, ’50s, ’60s & ’70s burlesque stage, many of whom have shimmied their way across America (and the world’s) finest stages for the better part of the last half-century!

An ode to vintage-style striptease in all its risque glory, the Reunion Showcase has its roots in the annual gatherings of dancers held by EDL (and Burlesque Hall of Fame) founder, Jennie Lee, beginning in 1957–a tradition we’re honored to uphold, in the form of a living, breathing, bump-and-grinding testament to burlesque “as it was.”

Scheduled to perform:
The Cosmic Queen...

BHOF Weekend 2011 Legends Challenge

Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekend is not only the world’s biggest and most prestigious burlesque gathering, it is also the longest running. Continuous since 1957, the weekend has its roots in Hall of Fame founder Jennie Lee‘s annual gathering of stars from the art’s heyday. Since Jennie’s passing in 1990, Dixie Evans has upheld that dream, growing the reunion from an informal, private gathering of retired exotics into the internationally renown four-day extravaganza now known as Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekend.

Since Jennie’s widower, Charles Arroyo, passed away in 2006, BHOF has experienced many challenges—including relocating from Helendale, California to Las Vegas, NV...

BHOF Weekend Discounts (Applicants Only)

You read that right! This year, as a way of saying thanks for supporting the BHOF and the burlesque community, we are offering a special perk for all pageant applicants: the opportunity to purchase discounted weekend passes (and get a great reserved seat) before they are made available to the general public! These pre-sale passes will be at a discount that more than makes up for the application fee, and will be the lowest price offered this year, period.

For the general public, we’re planning to release a limited number of tickets sometime in early March at a special “early bird” price. That price will increase when we announce the full schedule and lineup (probably in late March), so be ready to buy early for the best seats at the best price!

For applicants, here’s the fine prin...

BHOF Weekend Returns to the Orleans!

You’ve all been asking, so we’re thrilled to share the BIG news
BHOF WEEKEND ’11 WILL BE AT THE ORLEANS!

We’re over the moon about bringing the original Burlesque Weekender back to the Orleans Hotel & Casino. Remember their gorgeous theater and gigantic stage? How convenient it was to have ALL of our events (and guests) under one roof, while still having so many different places to meet/greet, eat, drink and hang out? The electric “It’s showtime!” vibe from having the run of the joint? Well, we do… and we’re proud to announce that we’ll be back there to do it all again this June!

BOOK TODAY

To book your room (or suite) at the rock-bottom BHOF discount, be sure to mention that you’re with the Burlesque Hall of Fame (Group ID #1BHFC06)… but be sure to book early, as the hotel wi...
