Play (Downtown) Presents:
Girls Night Out
The Return of the Men of Magic Mike
The men of the official Las Vegas All Male Revue are back! Wednesday, June 21, 2017 at 8PM. Only at Play, downtown next to Hopjacks. The last event was sold out! Tickets are available now at Eventbrite.
Due to the overwhelming success of the previous Magic Mike event, there will be upgrades to this show including an elevated stage, wait staff and added seating.
Advance tickets available now at eventbrite for $25.00. Day of event price is $35.00. Physical advance tickets will be available at Play starting Monday, May 8th as well.
Cinco de Mayo celebrates an underdog Mexican army's victory over the French in 1862. But right here In Los Estados Unidos, its really just another example of our ability to turn a celebration into an excuse to drink. Of that, we too are guilty - This time around, we're even providing the free mustache swag.
But, with a name like Play, we've never taken much of anything too seriously. So like us, apologize beforehand, and let the good times roll.
We kick the party off on Thursday, May 4th with "Pinatas & Coronas." For just one dollar extra, top your Corona off with a shot of tequila. Just ask for your Corona, "fully loaded." And with a performance of a karaoke song, take a swing at the Pinata. It'll be filled with lots of great stuff and cold hard cash!
Friday, May 5
Mustache Night
All the single folks will be given a mustache. Give your mustache away and we'll give the person you give it to a free drink when you get your drink!
