Stripper 101 at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino

Stripper 101 turns a Las Vegas afternoon into a playful workout, with pole dancing, lap dance basics, and more than 25 floor moves taught by professional dancers. You do not need dance experience, and there is no nudity. The tone is cheeky, social, and aimed at helping you loosen up rather than perform like a professional.

I like the low price, since $49 includes taxes, fees, the class, and a souvenir license with your own stripper name. I also like the range of participants: the instructors welcome different ages, sizes, and skill levels, and popular teachers such as Pony and Dani are praised for keeping the room moving and making beginners feel at ease.

The main catch is the class size. There can be up to 26 people, and the number of poles may be smaller than the number of students. A few people have also had classes canceled when enrollment was too low, so this is best booked with a little flexibility.

Key points to know before you book

• A ladies-only Las Vegas class: The activity is for women age 18 and older and includes no nudity.
• A real workout in disguise: Floor work, stretching, lap dance moves, and pole practice can leave you pleasantly tired after 70 minutes.
• Pony and Dani are names to watch for: These instructors receive especially warm praise for energy, patience, clear demonstrations, and humor.
• Pole sharing is possible: Class size can reach 26, so you may work in pairs or small groups rather than have a pole to yourself.
• The meeting point is easy to miss: Find the V Theater Box Office inside Miracle Mile Shops, not a separate Planet Hollywood entrance.
• A fun fit for groups: Girls trips, birthday outings, and bachelorette parties are the natural match, though solo bookings can work too.

What Stripper 101 actually teaches

Stripper 101 is less a polished stage show than a guided introduction to sensual dance. During the roughly one-hour-and-10-minute session, you learn a series of floor moves, lap dance techniques, and basic pole work used in Las Vegas clubs.

The class also uses boas and chairs for choreography. That variety matters because you are not simply waiting for your turn at a pole. You spend part of the session moving across the floor, practicing transitions, and following a routine. The goal is confidence and fun, not technical perfection.

The instructors are professional strippers and dancers. They demonstrate each move, break it into manageable steps, and then have you repeat it. Pony is especially well regarded for her humor, patience, and direct teaching style. Dani is also praised for making beginners comfortable and keeping the class active.

You will hear plenty of playful language and see deliberately sultry movement, but the activity remains clothed. No nudity takes place. That makes it a reasonable choice for a group that wants a risqué Las Vegas activity without committing to an adult show or a nightclub.

Starting at V Theater inside Miracle Mile Shops

Your first task is finding the right entrance. The class begins at the V Theater, located at 3663 South Las Vegas Boulevard, Suite 360, inside the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino.

The box office is the ticket redemption point. You should collect your ticket with a valid photo ID for the lead name at least 30 minutes before the 1:30 pm start time. Seating begins 15 minutes before class, and the box office is listed as open daily from 11 am to 9:30 pm, though those hours can change.

Give yourself extra time. One of the most useful practical warnings from the experience is that the V Theater can be hard to locate inside the shopping center. A rushed walk through Miracle Mile Shops is not how you want to begin a class that starts with letting go.

The venue is near public transportation, and the activity begins and ends at the same place. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included, so plan your own route. If you are using a rideshare, allow time to walk from the drop-off point through the resort and shopping complex.

Drinks are available at the Showgirl Bar outside the theater and may be brought into the showroom. Other outside food and drink are not allowed. Since the class starts in the afternoon, this can work well as an early activity before dinner, a show, or a night out.

The floor work comes before the pole

The class covers more than 25 floor moves, including movements associated with Las Vegas gentleman’s clubs. Expect to work through poses, transitions, and sensual choreography rather than simply learning one trick and moving on.

This section can be more physically demanding than the playful name suggests. You may stretch, kneel, roll, support yourself with your arms, and repeatedly get up and down. One person described the experience as an all-over workout, which is a useful way to think about it.

You do not need previous dance training. The instructors demonstrate slowly enough for beginners to follow, then repeat the material so you can build a short sequence. You are encouraged to express your own style, but nobody expects you to match a professional dancer.

This is also where the class tends to feel most welcoming. People who worry about being too old, too inexperienced, or out of shape can take part at their own level. The point is not to rank performances. It is to try the movement, laugh with your friends, and leave with a few new ideas.

Boas, chairs, lap dance moves, and the Sin City pole

Stripper 101 adds props to keep the routine lively. You may work with a boa, use a chair as part of the choreography, and practice lap dance basics. These sections can feel less intimidating than pole work because you are not asking your body to lift or spin around metal.

The chair and lap dance elements also make the activity useful for people who want to learn flirtatious movement without focusing on athletic tricks. The instruction is playful, but it can still give you practical ideas for movement and rhythm.

The pole segment is the class’s signature moment. You get the chance to practice on the Sin City stripper pole and learn beginner-friendly pole moves. That does not mean everyone receives a full pole to themselves. Depending on enrollment, you may need to share with one or two other people.

Pole sharing is the biggest variable in the experience. When the class is small, the session can feel personal and relaxed. One group of four found the class especially easy to follow, while other groups felt the room was overbooked and the limited poles reduced practice time.

If pole work is the main reason you are booking, call the box office before purchasing and ask about current enrollment if possible. This cannot guarantee a small class, but it may help you choose a date with better odds.

Why the instructor makes or breaks the class

A strong instructor is central to this experience. You are not simply watching a routine. You need someone who can demonstrate clearly, keep the pace moving, answer questions, and make a room full of beginners feel safe enough to be silly.

Pony receives the most repeated praise. Her appeal seems to be a mix of clear instruction, patience, humor, and practical experience. She is also described as good at handling different ability levels and dealing with distractions without losing control of the class.

Dani is another instructor singled out for an energetic and encouraging approach. Since instructor assignments can vary, you should not book with a guarantee that a particular teacher will lead your session unless the venue confirms it.

The class atmosphere can change with the group. Most people come ready to laugh and participate, but late arrivals or disruptive behavior can affect the room. One positive sign is that an instructor handled a disruptive situation calmly. Still, the experience depends partly on the people sharing the class with you.

The $49 price and what you get for it

At $49 per person, this is one of the more accessible paid activities on the Las Vegas Strip. The price includes the 70-minute class, all taxes and fees, and a souvenir Stripper 101 license with your chosen stripper name.

That license is a small souvenir, not a major keepsake, but it adds to the group-photo humor and gives you something tangible from the afternoon. The main value comes from the activity itself: you are paying for instruction, a themed venue, props, and a guided group experience.

The price feels strongest when you treat this as a social activity rather than a serious dance lesson. You will learn basic moves and get exercise, but you should not expect private coaching or extended time on a pole. If the class is crowded, the value drops because practice time becomes limited.

For a birthday or bachelorette group, the cost is easy to understand. Everyone has a shared activity and a story afterward, without the expense of a full evening show. It also fills a useful afternoon slot when you want something more active than shopping or lounging by a pool.

Who will enjoy this most

I would recommend Stripper 101 to an adult group that wants a funny, slightly daring activity with a clear structure. It suits:

• Bachelorette parties that want more than drinks and photos
• Girls trips looking for a shared afternoon activity
• Birthday groups, including mixed-age adult families
• Friends who want a workout without joining a normal fitness class
• Solo participants who are comfortable joining a group

The class is explicitly ladies-only and limited to people age 18 and older. It is not a good match for children, mixed-gender groups, or anyone seeking a quiet, private lesson.

You should also be comfortable with sensual movement and public participation. You do not have to strip, and nudity is not part of the class, but you will be asked to perform flirtatious dance steps in front of other adults.

Timing, cancellations, and small details that matter

The listed start time is 1:30 pm, and the class lasts about 70 minutes. Arrive at least 30 minutes early for ticket pickup and allow extra time to find the theater inside Miracle Mile Shops.

The activity requires a minimum number of participants. If enrollment is too low, the class may be canceled, and you should be offered another date or a full refund. In practice, the timing of cancellation contact has not always been consistent, so keep your phone available on the morning of the class and check voicemail.

One useful planning tip is to choose a busier day, such as Friday or Saturday, if your schedule allows. That may improve the chance of meeting the minimum, though it can also mean a fuller class and more pole sharing.

You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations or changes made inside that window are not accepted for a refund. The cutoff follows local Las Vegas time.

Most people can participate, but the class includes floor movement and pole work. If you have concerns about your ability to kneel, stretch, or move repeatedly, consider that before booking. The information provided does not list specific physical accommodations.

Is Stripper 101 worth booking?

Book it if you want a lighthearted, adult-only group activity and you can accept that the class quality depends on enrollment and instructor assignment. The strongest sessions combine a small group with an instructor such as Pony or Dani, giving you plenty of practice and a relaxed atmosphere.

I would be cautious if your main goal is serious pole instruction or guaranteed one-on-one time. A crowded class with too few poles can feel less satisfying, and low enrollment can lead to a last-minute cancellation.

For most bachelorette parties, girls trips, and birthday outings, the $49 price is fair. Call the box office before committing if your schedule is tight, arrive early because the theater is easy to miss, and come ready to laugh at yourself. That is the real spirit of this class.
