We took a bus to get there. It is in Las Vegas Art District. It is a place to spend 2 to 3 hours looking at pictures and reading about Bulesque history. The souvenir shop has some nice stuff. read less – 5/08/2019

I’ve been performing burlesque for almost 13 years now and the museum feels like a second home. The first time I wandered into it, it was hidden in a tiny little room off Fremont Street… years later, it finally has the exhibit and the space it deserves and I adore being able to watch it start to give back to the local community. Burlesque is a huge part of Americana and an even bigger part of Las Vegas and, besides the yearly weekender, this is where history is being made. What once was the naughtiest entertainment you could find is now a political and fringe art form.

Las Vegas is not where burlesque came to die. It’s where burlesque came to live, to preserve it’s history and re-invent itself. It’s an art form where women have always had a voice, even when they were playing Greek statues.

Come to the museum. Take the tour. Join as a member. Find the local, independent, off the strip shows. Experience where burlesque came from, what is once was and what it has become. Yes, it might get raunchy. Yes, it might get political. Yes, it will definitely be risque and challenge a lot of your preconceived notions. But nothing ever grew in a comfort zone. This is Sin City. Challenge yourself. read less – 7/13/2019

They did a great job displaying burlesque costumes and props with a historical timeline, and it is truly unique in that this might be the only permanent museum of its type in the world (that I know of)! They had really cool stuff like Jayne Mansfield's pink couch and costumes from every era, and the staff who worked there were really nice and informative. They told us about the history of how the museum came together, and gave us fantastic recommendations of artsy-er and hipper places to go off the strip (such as The Golden Tiki!). They also have an interactive section where you can play around with some props and costumes and take photos as well! Def support this wonderful little spot! read less – 6/03/2018

The five stars is due to Ms. Darby Fox; she's an amazingly knowledgeable woman with a Mensa-level masters degree in history. Engaging and enthusiastic about the historical aspects of the craft of Burlesque, we learned about labor practice, women's empowerment and much more.  I wished I'd had a couple more hours to chat.  Well worth the trip off strip, pun intended. read less – 8/08/2018

It’s a labor of love that has been in the works for decades by some very dedicated burlesque legends, newbies, supporters, fans and history buffs. Nothing like this exists anywhere else! Inside you will find a treasure trove of titillating history & friendly, knowledgeable staff. It’s right in the heart of the Vegas Arts District, within walking distance of galleries and cafés, so tourists and locals alike can make a fun day of it. Highly recommended!! read less – 6/01/2018

Such a fun, interactive and informative museum filled with people working there that are friendly, well spoken and extremely personable. I apologize if I use the wrong name but I got the tour, that is included with admission, with Emmy and she gave such a great run through of everything and was detailed and through with everything. I was laughing the whole time and learned so much.
Anyone with an appreciation for the art of burlesque with love this place despite the size because of all the information given and because of the background of the place.
One recommendation is to go right when they open so you can have the photo shoot area to yourself read less – 11/11/2018

I wasn’t sure what to expect, as some of the attractions in Vegas have a very tourist-trap feel. This is definitely NOT the case with BHOF. Every ticket comes with a guided tour through the timeline/evolution of Burlesque. Today our guide was Emie and she was honestly one of the best presenters/guides I’ve had. Very engaging, and her knowledge of the history of Burlesque was top-notch. Not once did she have to read from the timeline, and her passion for the industry comes through at all times. In fact, after the tour we had to ask where to go to see some quality Burlesque shows because she made *us* excited about the industry through her presentation.

Prepare to spend at least an hour taking it all in – the tour itself took about 15-20 minutes, but there is way more to see and read about than just the timeline. Be sure to get some pics with feather fans, boas, and gloves in the back, too!! We will definitely be bringing visitors here in the future. A Vegas must-see! read less – 9/07/2019

Our guide, Emmy, was an expert on the topics explored in the museum as an academic as well as being a performer themselves. They were SO informative and we had a great conversation about gender play, drag and other related topics. The displays are really well done and no matter your background you will learn a LOT from your visit. You can even try on gloves and feather fans and try some burlesque moves yourself! Highly recommended if you are in the Arts District and combine with a visit to the craft brewery or Makers and Finders cafe down the street. More read less – 9/10/2019

As a costumer, I’m especially interested in their rotating exhibits of rare and beautiful vintage stagewear. Worn and donated by some of the very same legendary burlesque stars we’re so lucky to meet in-person at the Weekender each year, it’s great seeing these treasures – and many others – properly cared-for and displayed! During my most recent visit I also thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated the Roy Kemp "Body of Work" exhibit – a deep dive into some incredible imagery, detailing how mid-century burlesque intersected with the analogue photographic processes used to document and promote it. Absolutely fascinating! read less – 6/25/2019

Being a burlesque performer myself, I have a great fascination and appreciation for those that paved the way for us.
There are some really amazing and memorable pieces at the Burlesque Hall of Fame such as Dita Von Teese's first giant martini glass prop, Jayne Mansfield's heart shaped couch, Sally Rand's feather fans, and numerous costumes/memorabilia. I'm so glad to see how BHOF has grown and that they have secured a new location for some of their amazing treasures! read less – 5/08/2019
