Description:

The showgirl is synonymous with Las Vegas and there's no show in town that glorifies showgirls quite like Jubilee! There are 1,000 different costumes in the show made with 8,000 miles of sequins. Today, guests are invited to go behind the scenes at the premiere Las Vegas showgirl production. 
The tour begins in the Jubilee! Theatre where guests will ascend the massive stage and will learn about the technology that makes the show possible – the sound system, giant elevators and fly rail. Next guests will go to the lighting booth high above the theatre where they will get an in depth look at everything involved in creating the spectacular lighting effects. 
The tour then continues beneath the stage in the carpenter shop, electrical shop and prop shop, where the incredible sets that are used throughout the show are designed, built, repaired and stored. Guests will get a close up look at these brilliant pieces of art. 
Next it’s on to one of the most complete costume shops in the world. Guests will see the wig room, elaborate feather headdresses and the brilliant magnificent costumes designed by Bob Mackie and Pete Menefee. Guests will then stop by the dressing rooms – where the real drama unfolds every night as over 100 actors frantically run from their last costume change to their next stage cue. At the end of the tour, guess can watch as a cast member in street clothes is transformed into a glamorous showgirl, complete with make-up and a Bob Mackie costume.
