Sounded like my company was going to pay for a show for us sales support folks when we went to Vegas, and someone picked "Folies Bergere", or, in English, "wacky lightly clothed dancing girls."
We'll see if it's fun, I've never seen a show like that, but in general, I haven't been much of a fan of dancing-type shows. And here's my confession, an all-girls show doesn't really interest me that much. Discounting the "scantily clad members of the preferred sex" angle entirely, it's just easier for me to appreciate a mixed cast or a mostly male group.
But I can appreciate spectacle...but now, things change, and I have to buy my own tickets. Grump, grump.
Ach, well, I shall go and appreciate the truly ludicrous number of sequins involved.

Too bad someone didn't suggest one of the Cirque Du Soliel (sp?) shows...
Expect there to be a number of 'naughty' (in that 60's, giggly sort of way) production numbers, a few individual acts of varying levels of cheese (jugglers, singers, magician, comedian) and a couple of sequins and feathers dance numbers.
The reason that show was likely chosen is that they are, unsurprisingly, the cheaper shows in town.
All the *big* shows (the various flavors of cirque du solei, blue man group, etc) are all likely more than $100-$150 per ticket.
personally, if you can carve out time for blue man group, I would.
ditto the Mystere show of Cirque. It was pretty wonderful.
If possible, Penn and Teller are playing there, too.
I've been to a burlesque show or two, it's not so much about the sex as the sniggering. And I can certainly applaud a can-can, I'm mostly grousing about having to pay for something that wouldn't have been my first-third choice, this has been a poor month!
But...spectacle can be a good thing.
All this and slightly rubbery cornish hen and a dinner roll!
So maybe the Follies will recognize as well that a litte variety spices up a show.
I guess my geek is showing.
