About the Show
The Empire Strips Back is a Star Wars-themed burlesque parody running at the Rio — 95 minutes of adult comedy, costume reveals, and sci-fi satire that rewards fans of the franchise and complete strangers to it equally. The genre parody format gives it a hook and a sense of humor that plain adult revues don’t have.
The Rio location puts it off the Strip proper, but the show has built a loyal following that makes the short ride worth it. Ages 18+ strictly enforced.
Choose it for adults who want something genuinely funny alongside the burlesque elements — the Star Wars angle makes this more of a comedy show than a straight adult revue. Skip it if you want a traditional showgirl format, family-friendly content, or something on the Strip.
