A unique and vibrant gem of history in downtown Las Vegas. This boutique style hall of fame is a living timeline into the world of burlesque. With historical images dating back to the 1800's, you'll learn about the origins of burlesque shows and exotic dancing. From the ages of chattel slavery in the United States to the stages of contemporary stripper clubs in Las Vegas. There's so much to learn. The images are framed and as previously mentioned they are situated in a boutique. The space is smaller than you'd expect and reminds me a lot of a dive bar. The staff is super friendly and our reservations were made online so we were checked in quick. Go check it out yourself and learn a bit about Las Vegas burlesque culture and history.

Looking for non-casino things to do while Vegas, our friend suggested checking out the world's only museum dedicated to the history and the art of burlesque. We reserved tickets online to ensure admittance as they limit the amount of people for each guided 3 0 min tour.Located in the heart of Vegas' Arts District, we arrived for our 2pm reservation and had no problems with finding street parking on the block. We checked in and Buttercup was our guide for the tour. She was friendly and personable as she talked about the history of burlesque and by guiding us through the burlesque timeline and pointed out pictures of prominent performers such as Sally Rand, Gypsy Rose Lee, Tempest Storm, Lili St. Cyr, and Blaze Starr. There are costumes, props, pasties, and personal effects on display. The museum is not large and is just a large room with dividing walls to separate the sections. I felt the tour was very informative and interesting. If you're looking to learn about the history of burlesque, check out the The Burlesque Hall of Fame.

Absolutely loved this little big museum. It's not far from the strip. You're greeted by the tour guide and given a wonderful yet brief history of burlesque throughout the ages. Surrounded by photographs and relics of former dancers. You can't help but be mesmerized.

It was so interesting and informative! The staff are so engaging and so genuinely invested in the history of burlesque that you can't help but match their enthusiasm. It's also a non profit so you can feel good about supporting the preservation of burlesque history. Loved it here and want to bring more friends next time I'm in Vegas

What a cute place. It is in a nice corner with easy access to street parking. The place is tiny but mighty, chock full of costumes and timelines of burlesque. Our tour guide, drag king Jeffrey, was awesome; very personable, full of facts and stories, and I probably could have stayed listening for hours. I expect most people would spend around an hour there. It is a space you can move around in (as in not go one way then you are forced out), so you can go back to any of the areas to revisit. There's a rotating display; when I went there were 3 costumes up. I enjoyed seeing the art of costuming, which focused on the tricks of the trade in designing clothing meant to come off. There's also a cute display of donated nipple covers (I liked the guns the most ). Definitely worth a visit, and I hope they are able to continue to add to their collection.

I'm biased here since I made a donation of my late mother in law's extensive collection of costumes and her personal effects. For anyone interested in seeing what the golden age of Burlesque......run don't walk to this shrine of memorabilia!

This is a hidden gem! So glad I found this museum to round out an interesting visit with California friends. Easy to get to and great parking out front, our first impression was pretty good. Now, Las Vegas is a city full of talent, but the show stopper was our tour guide Jeffrey! He was funny, charming and knowledgeable and really made our experience GREAT. Playing with the props at the end of our presentation was fun - who doesn't want to glam up with boas, feathered fans, and sleek, sexy gloves! Way to go!

Great tour from fantastic staff! Entertaining and informative. Great gift shop. Rotating exhibits. A lot of fun!!

Explore this charming museum, a must-visit for burlesque enthusiasts, offering a comprehensive history of the art. A big shoutout to the charismatic tour guide Jeffrey.
