You’ll rush through neon-lit Miracle Mile Shops to find your seat at Zombie Burlesque inside Planet Hollywood’s V Theater—where zany undead dancers, live big band music, and cheeky comedy pull you right into atomic-era Las Vegas. Expect laughs, oddball surprises, and maybe even a wink from Candy herself before you spill out into the Strip again.
I’ll be honest, we almost missed the start of Zombie Burlesque because I got distracted by a neon pretzel stand outside the Miracle Mile Shops. My friend was already texting me “hurry up!” while I tried to explain to the vendor why I needed extra salt. So yeah, we rushed in, a little out of breath, and the usher just grinned like he’d seen this before. The V Theater is tucked inside Planet Hollywood—kind of loud in the halls but then you step into Club Z and it’s this weird mix of velvet seats and zombie-green lights. Someone behind us whispered “smells like popcorn and hairspray,” which made me laugh harder than it should’ve.
Our tickets (we picked general seating—honestly fine for the price) got us pretty close to the stage. The show kicked off with this old-school film reel about atomic-era Las Vegas, all grainy and dramatic, then suddenly there are zombies everywhere—dancing, cracking jokes, even a big band playing live (the trombone player had a fake bite mark on his neck). Our host—a zombie in fishnets who called herself Candy—kept roasting people in the front row. She winked at my friend when he flinched during one of the burlesque numbers. I didn’t expect to laugh so much; it’s more comedy than horror really, but there’s still something oddly eerie about watching zombies do a can-can under pink spotlights.
There was this one bit where an astronaut zapped a zombie with a ray gun and suddenly he broke into breakdancing—I swear I nearly spilled my drink. (You can buy drinks at your seat if you want; not cheap but hey, it’s Vegas.) The ballerina act set to ‘Zombie’ by The Cranberries was weirdly moving—like, everyone went quiet for a second except for someone sneezing two rows back. You get these moments where you forget you’re surrounded by undead performers until someone moans or drops a fake limb onstage.
Afterwards we wandered out into the bright casino lights again—my friend joked that real life felt less colorful after Club Z. We didn’t stick around Miracle Mile too long but grabbed some late-night food nearby. Honestly? I still think about that silly breakdancing zombie whenever I hear big band music now. If you’re looking for something offbeat on the Strip that’s not just another magic show or Cirque thing…this is it.
