FacebookNot much has changed since Crazy Horse Paris changed owners and gave the show a new title (the revue opened as La Femme). The opening number still has dancers marching topless in revealing military uniforms. The result: much booby bouncing to remind viewers that Crazy Horse’s stars are more natural than the silicone- and saline-sacked showgirls elsewhere. Otherwise, though, Crazy Horse Paris has not aged well, engaging in chorus lines and individual production spots that still seem like the hippest thing the ’50s had to offer in Paris.
From the Calendar

- MGM Grand, 891-7777.
The striptease is less prevalent than the moments of full topless dancing, but repetition dulls the experience, with everything lasting an entire song before rotating to the next number. The emphasis is still on sensuality over overt sexuality, but Zumanity does that much better. The less said about the novelty act (which has gone from mock Michael Jackson to mock Elvis Presley) the better—beyond: good time for a bathroom break.
Crazy Horse Paris brings together some of the most flawless showgirls on the Strip, all with top-level dance skills; yet it manages a production that can bore a heterosexual man to sleep. That is some sort of accomplishment.
MGM Grand, a AAA Four Diamond resort, offers 5,044 rooms and suites.
MGM Grand features KÀ by Cirque du Soleil; Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club; and world-class entertainment at the Grand Garden Arena and Hollywood Theatre.
The resort offers signature restaurants by celebrity chefs including Tom Colicchio’s Craftsteak, Emeril Lagasse’s New Orleans Fish House, Wolfgang Puck’s Bar & Grill and Michelin three star and Forbes Five Star restaurant, Joël Robuchon.
As part of its ongoing “Grand Renovation,” MGM Grand has remodeled all rooms and suites in its main tower and is adding several new experiences to its lineup including Hakkasan Las Vegas Restaurant and Nightclub, a new upscale dining/nightlife concept (coming in April 2013).
MGM Grand also features a state-of-the-art, non-smoking conference center, the Grand Spa, Cristophe Salon, "CSI: The Experience" and an inviting pool complex featuring the tantalizing daylife of Wet Republic.
Upscale accommodations include The Mansion, an exclusive hotel within the hotel; the luxurious two-story SKYLOFTS at MGM Grand; and The Signature at MGM Grand, a luxury all-suite, non-gaming hotel located adjacent to the main resort.
