'GLITZ - The Showkids Show' Comes to GIPSY Nightclub

All-star production is a one-night event you won't want to miss....

Some of the best shows are ones created by off-duty entertainers. Removed from the confines of scripts and corporate oversight, they're free to explore inner creativity. The result is liberating for both the performers and fortunate audience members...which brings us to GLITZ. Performing this Saturday at 10 pm, GLITZ - The Showkids Show is a high-energy collaboration from some of the brightest, boldest, and best entertainers in their field. The location is GIPSY, a once-iconic nightclub that's been reimagined and rebuilt from the ground up. Located adjacent to Piranha Nightclub on Paradise Road near Tropicana Avenue, GIPSY may be the most beautiful LGBTQ destination Las Vegas has ever seen.

Rather than try to summarize GLITZ myself, let's take a look at the official press release:

"Directed and co-created by Ferly Prado and Estevan Velasco, GLITZ is a one-day-only performance celebrating Las Vegas history, showkids, and the LGBTQ+ community. The show is brought to life by an incredible cast of over 30 performers from ‘Dita Las Vegas— A Jubilant Revue’ and Prado Dance Studio. The evening promises to be a night of unforgettable performances that pay tribute to the past while ushering in a new legacy of Las Vegas entertainment."

"GLITZ intertwines the legends of Las Vegas with the dynamism of today's Strip performers. Doors open at 9 pm, with the show starting at 10 PM, followed by a meet and greet at midnight. Enjoy an evening filled with craft cocktails, exquisite sushi, and the vibrant beats of DJ Sherman, the Brazilian Extraordinaire. Experience the heart of Vegas's past and present at GLITZ, where history meets today's talent in a night you won't forget."

"The term 'gipsy', which originated in the 1980s as the name of the club, symbolizes the resilience of entertainers during the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The original Gipsy was a haven for Strip entertainers and performers without traditional families or homes. Gipsy continues to honor its history by providing a home and platform where entertainers can thrive and contribute to the rich tapestry of Las Vegas show history."

The GLITZ cast is filled with vibrant young performers who make our city exciting and cutting-edge. They include Natalia Oliveira, Sarah Johnston, Amadeus Luevanos, Adam Moss (America's Got Talent SUPERSTARS LIVE), Shane Davis, Todd Hanebrink, and stunning Chippendales hunk Wyatt Hopkins (formerly of LE REVE). The event is hosted by Cierra Bliss, a Las Vegas native entertainer who's also part of the Dita Las Vegas cast. Tickets for GLITZ: The Showkids Show start at $25 (plus taxes/fees) for GA and can be reserved here. All guests must be twenty-one or over and required to present legal identification. Enhanced security measures are observed at GIPSY, which may include patdowns, metal detection wanding, and bag checks. No backpacks or large bags will be permitted.
