The iconic Chippendales male revue is relocating to the Linq Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip after a 22-year run at the Rio. The show will debut in its new home on January 14, 2024, performing at Mat Franco's theater.

The move marks a return to Caesars Entertainment for the legendary male dance troupe, which has sold over 1 million tickets and performed roughly 9,000 shows since joining the Rio in 2001.

The relocation comes amid significant changes for both the show and venue. In October 2023, the Vegas Chippendales announced plans to unionize, citing concerns over wages and benefits. The Actor's Equity Association subsequently filed an Unfair Labor Practices complaint against the show's producers.

The move to the Linq offers expanded capacity, with the Mat Franco Theater holding 575 guests compared to the Rio's 400-seat venue. This transition follows Caesars Entertainment's sale of the Rio to Dreamscape Companies in 2019 for $516.3 million.

Performance Schedule and Tickets:

• Shows run Tuesday through Sunday at 9 p.m.
• Additional 11 p.m. shows on Fridays and Saturdays
• Ticket prices: $57.96 to $117.95
• Available through Ticketmaster.com

Chippendales, which pioneered the all-male dance revue format for female audiences in 1979, continues its legacy as one of Las Vegas's most successful entertainment attractions, having performed over 275,000 shows at the Rio location alone.
