REVIEW · LOS ANGELES & HOLLYWOOD DAY TRIPS
Stripper 101 at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino
Vegas power trip, minus the nerves. At Planet Hollywood’s V Theater, Stripper 101 turns a Vegas landmark into a structured, women-only class where you learn pole and floor moves for a fun confidence boost. Two things I’d personally put at the top: you practice from 25+ sultry floor moves with props like boas and chairs, and you leave with a souvenir Stripper 101 license using your stripper name.
The main thing to consider is timing and space. This runs at 1:30 pm, and depending on sign-ups and class size, you may have to share a pole (or, on rare days, the class can be canceled if enrollment is too low).

The long day west: more LA and Hollywood runs
Stripper 101 at Planet Hollywood: what makes it feel like a Vegas moment
This is one of those Vegas activities that sounds risky on paper and turns out refreshingly structured in real life. You’re not just being watched—you’re learning a routine. The setting helps too. The class takes place in the V Theater inside Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino, so you’re in a proper show venue, surrounded by the energy of the Strip without needing to hunt down a “back alley” location.
The vibe is also very girls-day-out friendly. It’s for women age 18 and up only, and the focus is on confidence and having fun while you work different muscles. A few instructors get special mentions in real feedback—Pony is repeatedly described as funny, patient, and able to make beginners feel capable. Dani also gets credit for making the class feel like real skill-building, not just party time.
One more thing I like: it’s clear about boundaries. You won’t see nudity. That keeps it from feeling like shock value and makes it easier for first-timers to relax and actually learn.
Price and value of the $49 class (and what you get for it)

At $49 per person for about 1 hour 10 minutes, the biggest value isn’t just the cost. It’s what’s included. Your ticket covers the class itself, a souvenir Stripper 101 license, and all taxes and fees. That means you’re not doing the usual Vegas math in your head later.
Also, you’re paying for instruction and repetition. This isn’t a one-move crash course. The class covers more than 25 floor moves and then builds into choreography using props and a pole. If you’re the kind of person who likes activities where you leave with something you can actually practice again (even just a small routine), this fits.
The only value “watch-out” is the class setup. If the class is large, you might share poles. That doesn’t ruin the experience, but it can change how much time you personally spend on a pole during the class. If pole time matters most to you, I’d lean toward booking a date that’s likely to fill comfortably.
Finding the V Theater in Miracle Mile Shops: arrive early and get set up

You meet at the V Theater at 3663 S Las Vegas Blvd, Suite 360, inside Miracle Mile Shops. This part is simple, but the lesson here is to give yourself margin. Planet Hollywood’s complex layout is exactly the kind of place where you can lose a few minutes just walking the wrong hallway.
Here’s the practical rhythm: the box office is open daily from 11 am to 9:30 pm, and you pick up tickets at the V Theater Box Office using a valid photo ID for the lead traveler. Seating starts about 15 minutes before showtime, and you’re advised to be there at least 30 minutes prior.
If you’re doing a girls day out, I’d treat this like an appointment, not a casual stroll. Plan a quick buffer so you can check in without stress. Stress makes it harder to learn anything, especially something physical and slightly showy.

Stop 1: V Theater basics—check-in, comfort, and how the class runs
The V Theater is where the actual magic happens. This is a ladies-only setting, and it’s run by professional strippers and dancers. That matters because you can feel the difference between someone performing at you and someone teaching with structure.
During class, you’ll practice a series of moves that are inspired by over-25 floor moves used in Las Vegas gentleman’s clubs. You’ll learn choreography with:
- Boas
- Chairs
- A stripper pole, including the opportunity to work the Sin City stripper pole
You don’t need previous dance experience. Beginners are part of the audience, and the goal is to help you feel great by releasing your sensual side and boosting confidence. The learning emphasis is on fundamentals, repetition, and comfort—especially for people who worry they’ll be out of their league.
Also, remember: it’s a pole dance class, so you’ll want to dress for movement. The venue does allow drinks. There’s a Showgirl Bar outside the theater, and drinks can be brought into the showroom. Outside food and drink aren’t allowed in the theater, so keep it simple.
Stop 2: Miracle Mile Shops area—your pre-class warm-up and drink stop

Even though the “tour” is centered on the class, the location is a whole experience in itself because you’re inside Miracle Mile Shops. Think of this stop as your buffer zone: it’s where you’ll likely take care of small details before heading into the theater.
If your group enjoys a proper pre-class moment, this is where you do it. The Showgirl Bar is outside the theater area, so you can grab a drink before class starts and settle in. The casino-resort energy is part of the atmosphere, and it helps the whole thing feel like a real outing rather than a rushed appointment.
One practical note: because there’s no hotel pickup or drop-off, you’re responsible for getting yourself there. If you’re using public transportation, the venue is near public transport, which is a plus when you don’t want to park or pay for rides twice.
The class content: from floor moves to pole confidence

The class doesn’t promise you’ll become a pole superhero by the end. What it does promise—and delivers—is instruction that turns the awkward first-timer feeling into something workable.
You’ll start with a sequence of floor moves, then progress into choreography. That structure is smart. Floor moves build coordination and confidence without needing to master the pole instantly. Then you layer in the pole work, using props to add style and keep the energy up.
A lot of feedback highlights that the class feels like an all-over body workout. That’s not a “gotcha.” It’s exactly why the class can be such a hit for bachelorette parties and girls trips: you get sweat, laughter, and a new skill set in about 70 minutes.
Props also help. Boas and chairs add a bit of theater to the technique, so even if your first few attempts aren’t perfect, the routine still feels fun and glamorous. And if you want to take something home mentally, this format does it. You remember the feeling of the routine, not just a single isolated trick.
Instructors you’ll likely notice: Pony and Dani set the tone

Instruction quality is often the whole difference between a class that feels empowering and one that feels stressful. In the feedback you’ll see recurring praise for specific instructors.
Pony comes up again and again as funny, patient, and able to keep the group moving. One key theme: she’s described as encouraging and capable of handling disruptions without derailing the rest of the class. Dani is also praised for being amazing, with an approach that feels engaging and supportive even when everyone starts from zero skills.
Even if your instructor isn’t one of these names, the overall instruction style you should expect is professional and geared to beginners. That’s the point of Stripper 101: you learn basics with enough showmanship to feel confident, not embarrassed.
What you’ll leave with: your Stripper 101 license and new muscle memory

The souvenir is one of the most fun parts, and it’s more than a generic token. You receive a Stripper 101 license complete with your stripper name.
That matters because it gives you a clear end point. Vegas days can blend together—shows, meals, and walking blur into one big recap. A license is tangible proof you did something different. It also works well for groups: it becomes an easy keepsake to photograph and compare later.
Just keep expectations realistic. The class is designed to teach you moves you can practice, but you’re still learning. You’re not expected to walk out performing in a club. Think of it as muscle memory you can build on.
Group size, pole sharing, and the biggest practical trade-off
This experience has a maximum of 26 travelers. That’s a decent-sized group for a single-class setup, but it directly affects pole availability. Depending on the class size, you may have to share a pole.
Here’s how I’d weigh it:
- If you’re going for confidence, laughs, and learning choreography, sharing poles usually won’t stop your fun.
- If your main goal is pole time and technique, sharing might feel limiting.
Also note that no matter what, you’ll still be learning floor moves and choreography. Sharing doesn’t mean you do nothing—it just changes how long you spend on the pole itself.
Finally, the class is scheduled at a specific time (1:30 pm). If you’re trying to avoid any risk of an under-filled class, I’d choose a day that’s likely popular for groups.
Alcohol, rules, and keeping it comfortable
This is a show-like setting, so small rules help the room stay smooth. You can buy drinks at the Showgirl Bar outside the theater and bring them into the showroom. Outside food or drink isn’t allowed in the theater.
Comfort matters because you’re moving. Wear clothes that let you move freely, and pick footwear or coverings that you’re comfortable with for a physical class. Since pole sharing can happen, being flexible helps your group stay positive if you don’t get as much pole time as you expected.
Who should book Stripper 101 (and who should think twice)
This is a great fit if:
- you’re planning a girls day out or bachelorette party
- you want a beginner-friendly, structured way to learn pole moves
- you like activities with a performer energy but clear instruction
- you want a confidence boost without needing to be experienced first
It may be less ideal if:
- you’re strongly focused on uninterrupted, solo pole time
- you get stressed easily by last-minute changes or cancellations
- you’d rather do a traditional dance class with zero show elements
The common success formula is attitude. Go in expecting to learn, not to judge your first attempt. The whole class is built around that.
Should you book Stripper 101 at Planet Hollywood?
Yes, if you want an adult-only Vegas experience that’s playful, physical, and actually teaches you moves—not just entertainment on a stage.
Book it when you can show up on time, bring a good mood, and embrace the idea that pole work is learned in steps. Pay attention to the reality of class size and pole sharing, and plan your day so you’re not rushing to check in.
If your group is chasing a fun, different Vegas story with a keepsake (that license with your stripper name) and an instructor-led routine in about 70 minutes, Stripper 101 is a strong pick.
