Thunder from Down Under at the Excalibur Hotel and Casino

Ultimate Girls Night Out

I finally made it to Thunder From Down Under as an out-of-town visitor on 6/22/2026 for the 8:00 PM show. I went with my 72 year old mother and my youngest sister, who both now live in town. It was the first time for the 3 of us. For context, I went to Chippendales three times when I lived in Vegas from 2013 to 2016, so I naturally compared the two, though it has been about 10 years and I may need to check out Chippendales again at their new location for a fair update. Pros: * Fun, flirty teaser with just enough left to the imagination. Even my mom enjoyed it. * More genuine audience engagement than I expected. * Long table seating makes it easy for performers to move around and dance right in front of you. * A fun “Sin City” checklist experience to do at least once with your people. * Good intro experience for curious folks who want a light, playful version of a “strip club” vibe without going all the way there. * Almost a full hour of entertainment. * Come with an open mind and you’ll have more fun. * One dancer sang during the show and had a decent voice. * They allowed phone use for one section of the show, which was a fantastic bonus. It added a fun teaser moment toward the end of the hour. Cons: * Choreography was very limited, mostly basic moves compared to what I remember from Chippendales. Again, it has been 10 years for me, so I may need to revisit Chippendales next time for a more accurate comparison. * Think hard before agreeing to be a volunteer on stage. Also, do not let your friends nominate you unless you truly want to participate. You have been warned! Overall, Thunder From Down Under was a fun, cheeky, and memorable Vegas experience. Not necessarily the strongest dance production, but definitely entertaining enough for a 1x Sin City night out, especially with the right group.

Lots of fun

Lots of fun at the Excalibur. Don't feel like you need to get super dressed up, the audience had a wide range of dress wear and all was fine and acceptable. The men are fun, cute and the dances are lively. You will definitely be entertained. I recommend sitting across from your friend or companion, rather than next to due to the chairs facing forward and the tables are for the dancers. Interactive show, the men do dance for a few select ladies on stage as well as get up close and personal with seated audience members. They do not take tips or dollars during the show, but they do request photos afterwards.

Response from the operator: G'day! Thanks for all the love - it sounds like you had as much fun as we did! We are thrilled you had such a great time and we'd love to see you for an encore. Thunder X

Girls night!

Brilliant night's craic on a girls trip! My friends have been before and thought this time they'd take me. Definitely interaction with the crowd, was good that they went through the crowd. Not just on stage. Very good at what they do and you could see them even looking after the ladies that were on stage. Light hearted fun and Definitely easy on the eye!

Response from the operator: G'day Elizabeth, we are so glad that you enjoyed our interactions with the audience - we believe that everyone deserves a bit of Thunder love! We hope to see you and the girls for another unforgettable night. Thunder X

Fun girls night out

Fun, different and exciting. Not the male review I was expecting. It was fun for a girls night out in Vegas. I would go again.

Response from the operator: G'day Elizabeth - with Thunder you can always expect the unexpected. Hope to see you again for round two and a few more surprises! Thunder X
