text: I was in Las Vegas for my best friends bachelorette party and we knew that we wanted to go to a show during our time in town We asked her what show she wanted to see and an enthusiastic Chippendales was the response we got The afternoon before the show we bought five tickets for a pop at Tix Tonight and giddily looked forward to the sexy male revue Now I do not think I need to say it but the Chippendales boys are hot It is true They are Chippendales after all So why only three starsnnTo be blunt the show at times seemed dated and overly cheesy There were these song and dance routines that seemed to come straight from the eighties and I found myself laughing during most of the show To be honest I am not really the stripper type as I find the whole experience to be more awkward than erotic although there were fleeting moments that were decidedly hot The nerd in me loved the vampire sequence I am not going to lie I got a big kick out of watching the other ladies in the audience go crazy for the guys but as for the show itself it was so overlyproduced and contrived that it seemed to be almost like familyfriendly stripping Yes I realize that the words familyfriendly and stripping are strange in the same sentencennA number of years ago I saw American Storm and in comparison that show was a lot more erotic I think a big part of it was that the venue they were performing in was much smaller and with tables to sit at instead of theatre seating so that made a big difference All in all it was a fun show to see but I have been more entertained watching that old Patrick Swayze and Chris Farley SNL skit
