The Las Vegas Stripper Parade & Expo will celebrate the industry and its talented performers of all genders, ages and body types with a 7pm showcase Saturday night (10^th) before the 10pm parade down Main Street, with dancers enticing the crowds with mardi gras type gifts, along the streets and a-top glittery, dazzling floats.

The official Expo Sunday and Monday will introduce a full schedule of industry networking, informative seminars, vending opportunities and raucous after-show parties. Sunday’s exclusive sunset Pool Party – available only to the show’s Kickstarter supporters – will feature poolside VIP suites, private cabanas, a 12-person hot tub, live entertainment and special contests.

“We have spoken to many dancers who have felt isolated and un-mentored,” says Cory Mervis. “We are creating a parade and expo that is about the performers needs, celebrating them in the industry, and supporting their businesses. It will provide the tools to grow their careers, find long term success, and plan for their financial future.”

“We are excited to grow this one-of-a-kind Parade and Expo in Downtown Las Vegas,” says Derek Stonebarger, Board President for the Las Vegas Arts District.
