Tickets from $15. Three burlesque shows per night. A live rock band playing two full sets. A jazz trio. Open-format DJs between every act. Six Deuce Dancers on a rotating stage. Colored smoke jets and a laser show synced to the music. Animal print everywhere. And a room that does something no other nightlife venue on the Strip attempts. This is Forty Deuce at Mandalay Bay.
The Strip Has Nightclubs. This Is Something Else.
Most Las Vegas nightlife asks you to choose. You go to a club for a DJ. You go to a show for a performance. You go to a lounge for live music. Ivan Kane’s Forty Deuce at Mandalay Bay refuses that logic entirely. One ticket covers three live burlesque shows, two full live band sets from Royal Jelly Rock, a live jazz trio performing the Classic Burlesque set, and open-format DJ sets before, after, and between every performance. The dance floor stays open until last call. The room never stops. Nothing about it resembles the standard Las Vegas nightclub formula and that is precisely the point.
“The technology, the staging, the live music integration and the level of performance have all evolved,” said creator Ivan Kane. “This is Forty Deuce reimagined for today’s audience, where every detail works together to create a true experience, not just a night out.”
The intimate space at Mandalay Bay features animal print decor, cushy velvet seating, multiple stages, and the world-famous rotating center stage. High-res LED walls display custom environments for each burlesque show. Colored smoke jets fire in sync with the music. A laser and light show runs DMXed to the BPMs throughout the night. The scale is deliberately intimate, built for an experience you can actually feel from every seat rather than a room designed for 3,000 people.
What Happens From the Moment You Walk In
The first show starts at 10:30pm sharp. Two more follow throughout the night. Here is exactly what one ticket gets you across an evening at Forty Deuce:
The Rock n Roll Burlesque Spectacular
Six Deuce Dancers perform on the rotating stage with Royal Jelly Rock behind them, a live band playing two full 30-minute sets per night with real instruments, a real drummer, and a full setlist. No backing tracks. The band drives the room from the first downbeat to last call. Custom LED environments shift behind the stage for each performance. Colored smoke and lasers are in the mix throughout.
The Classic Burlesque Show
Three Forty Deuce headliners perform the classic burlesque set with the in-house jazz trio providing the live soundtrack. Sultry and sophisticated. The kind of performance that Las Vegas used to be built around and rarely delivers anymore.
The DJ Sets
Open-format resident DJs spin before, after, and between every show. The dance floor stays active throughout the night. The rotation from DJ to live act to DJ keeps the energy building rather than peaking early and dropping off.
Silicone Sundays: The Night Las Vegas Industry Comes Out
Sunday at Forty Deuce has its own identity. Silicone Sundays is the brand’s Service Industry Night with an open guest list for hospitality workers, welcome shots on arrival, and premium bottle service from $100. The Sunday crowd skews more local, more industry, and more relaxed than the weekend tourist-heavy nights. It has developed a loyal weekly following and is consistently described as one of the most energetic Sunday nights in Las Vegas nightlife.
