From our first interaction, I was very pleased. She was clearly very knowledgeable and seemed dedicated to her clients. As a first time of my investing, I was anxious about the process, but Mrs. FLORENCE BOELI took the time to provide me a virtual orientation that covered everything one would need to know to get started. I ended up investing with her with $2,000 because of the area I was looking to purchase in. Mrs. FLORENCE BOELI was also phenomenal! Mrs. FLORENCE BOELI checked in with me and I’m now earning $30,000 USD weekly and always available anytime I had questions. Mrs. FLORENCE ensured that I felt comfortable through the entire process and made it enjoyable! I highly recommend this realty company!

Instagram: florence.boelifx – 6/25/2023read moreread less - Lan C.This petite museum of burlesque artifacts takes visitors beyond the va va voom. Rare photos, costumes, and other archival materials about the art form make it a fun stop if you’re in Vegas. Love the donor wall of pasties, find the names of your local greats! We arrived while a tour was already in place, and it was easily to listen in while we wandered around the two rooms. That’s also Dita Von Teese’s prop martini glass! Once you’re done, wander down to check out the rest of the shops in the Arts District. – 6/23/2023read moreread lessLesley H.Wider historical interest I went having a particular interest in burlesque but would recommend this museum to anyone with an interest in performance or in women’s issues. The museum staff (Darby did our tour) are a dedicated and enthusiastic lot with a deep knowledge to share.

For me MRS. KAYLA WILLIAMS has the best trading strategies to win. I never believed on any post recommending online trading until I gave a try and the outcome was great for me. Making $12,800 out of $1000 was a whole lot of profit for me.

He knew the history of Burlesque inside and out and also enriched our tour with some special stories of the history of how the museum got its start in the desert and was later transported to Las Vegas. Since Airchef’s wife is a former ecdysiast, this was amazing to see so many of the stars of the striptease honored here. The cost is minimal and the experience amazing, especially if you get Jeffery – 12/13/2022read moreread less - Robert D.The Story of Burlesque This museum in the downtown area tells the story of Burlesque. A docent explained the history of burlesque timeline and described the other exhibits. The costumes on display were amazing and I enjoyed looking at the various artifacts. This is a small museum, but very well done. – 11/22/2022read moreread lessRenee W.Super fun experience! The staff was friendly and very excited to share upcoming events with us. We felt super welcome. There are lots of photos, some costumes, and a cool history lesson. I really love the area that focuses on women, empowerment, and inclusion. – 10/18/2022read moreread lessEve G.Looking for something different to do, MU husband suggested the Burlesque Hall Of Fame. Reluctant I went with him. Great experience. Jeffrey gave us a very interesting history of burlesque. The museum is well done and Jeffrey made it very interesting to hear about the history. I would definitely recommend going. It will take you less than an hour but it will be worth it – 7/26/2022read moreread lessStefanie C.Even though the Burlesque HOF is pretty small in terms of space, I was happy to contribute $15 and hang out by myself for 45 minutes. I had such a blast on this solo adventure. Having recently taken my first burlesque class, I felt a unique appreciation for the history of entertainment trailblazers. Also, I was obsessed with the wall of cute pasties–that's really what drew me in. Check out and support this local museum… and their gift shop!! – 7/07/2022read moreread less

Http://facebook.com/chiefdrlucky – 4/28/2022read moreread less - Sue T.This is a fun little museum that traces the history of burlesque. I enjoy going to burlesque shows frequently and decided to stop by here to kill some time before my flight. I didn't know what to expect from entering the museum however, I left with a bigger appreciation for the art!
The entrance fee is a reasonable amount (under $15) and also includes a guided tour of the intimate space. Jeffrey was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of burlesque. I spent a little over an hour at the museum and left feeling enlightened and titillated 😉
The best part of this experience???? It's run by a 501 (c)(3) educational organization. Not only did I get to learn by visiting this lovely place… I was able to support an amazing organization that exists to preserve and educate the public about burlesque!!!
I can't wait to come back! – 4/01/2022read moreread lessS S.This is a fantastic museum especially for anyone who feels they've "done it all" in Vegas! Our experience was really made by our tour guide Darby, who is actually the curator of the museum. She is a vessel of knowledge, and could answer all of my boyfriends questions about the crossovers and history between Burlesque and Hollywood, and more. She is a true expert and it was fascinating to see her speak so passionately on the subject throughout the tour, pointing out stories about the different pieces they have at the museum, and then taking the time to speak with us afterwards as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for something fun to do in Vegas whether you enjoy history, museums, film photographs, burlesque, costumes or props, or even if you just enjoy learning! Please support this museum and go now! They also have Covid protocols in place unlike most of the rest of Vegas so the experience is a safe and uncrowded one. – 7/27/2021read moreread lessIndoor Fun in Vegas with a Twirl We had a nice time on our tour at the Burlesque Hall of Fame. The tour guide was crazy knowledgeable about the people and information pictured. We toured at the last time of the day and I wish we had gone earlier so we could have looked around after. We started our visit with a mistake. We parked a block too soon and it was a long hot walk to the venue, and cars kept blocking the walkway due to poor traffic light timing. But what we learned, there is parking RIGHT IN FRONT. Don’t make the same mistake we did! There is a bend in the road and you cannot see the facility but it is there. We saw the play Gypsy Rose at a venue and so this was part of the reason we wanted to learn more about Burlesque. I would suggest allowing an hour and a half to visit. My favorite artifact is the champagne glass. Don’t miss it! – 7/22/2021read moreread less - Erin F.Worth the trip! So wonderful I loved the lady who conducted our tour.

- Katherine T.We bought tickets in advance, and I brought one of my friends who knows a few local performers, so this visit was set up with her in mind. We had a tour guide (Jill) who was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the history of this special art form. Everything was well laid out and thoughtfully presented. You shouldn't need more than an hour, and it's time we'll spent. It's also a Las Vegas non-profit worth supporting. – 7/13/2021read moreread lessLucia B.What a GEM! My partner and I visited this little wonder, and it was such a treat. The exhibit featured a ton of pictures and information, as well as beautiful costumes and relics from burlesque's storied past.

- Kitty L.I happened to go on Super Bowl Sunday so I had the place to myself! Even got my own personal tour with a gal (I'm so sorry, I don't remember her name) who provided such in depth historical information that I would not have picked up, glossing over the wall signs. They are also part of NARM so if you are a member, it is well worth the time to check out on your next Vegas trip! – 7/03/2020read moreread lessErin W.We learned so much about the history of burlesque, and came away with an increased appreciation for the strength and ingenuity of the women who performed. The museum includes a great collection that was once part of Exotic World. (Look up the history of Exotic World. Fascinating.) The best part of the museum is that the people here know their history and share it with passion. Lots of fun, and we came away with immense respect for the performers. – 3/15/2020read moreread less
- Michelle E.Perfect for the burlesque enthusiast. Located off the beaten path in the upcoming Arts District this quaint museum deserves your time. The self-guided tour is worth the price of its budget friendly admission alone, but should you opt for the guided tour, at no extra charge, Emmie is a joy. Emmie will delight you with vast knowledge of the evolution of the art of burlesque. The walls are filled with artifacts, memorabilia, history, and pasties of all sorts.

- Kyle W.Delightful! Come see it because you know you’re curious. Yet I promise you’ll be blown away because the tour guide, Emmy, not only knows her stuff, she is as humorous and people-savvy as the legendary entertainers this little museum lionizes. The admission fee is criminally under-priced compared to the 90-or-so minutes of entertainment value you’ll receive on this tour. – 1/21/2020read moreread lessShirin P.The girls doing the tours are knowledgeable about the subject as if they got a bachelor's degree in burlesque history. We had Amy( hopefully I spelled her name correctly) she was very thorough and engaging. She talked with such a passion that made you hungry for more. Space is small but a lot of information in such a tiny space. Totally recommend this museum. Neighborhood is being "gentrified" so it looks a little sketchy but worth the trip! – 1/04/2020read moreread less
