Aussie Heat, the male revue whose performers are Australian, is returning from hiatus with a new residency at Rio starting Oct. 8, 2026.<\/p>\n

The show’s most recent home was Notoriety at Neonopolis downtown, where Aussie Heat performed from April 2025 until August of this year.\u00a0The show closed due to international tariffs, which have affected the supply chain and resulted in declining demand for imported beefcake, a fun fact we just completely made up.<\/p>\n

The show will move into the Riot Room at The Venue, an entertainment space we anticipate will have more churn than the annual Amish butter-making championships. All due respect to the Amish, butter and churns.<\/p>\n

Here’s a fun game: How many of the studs in this publicity photo are actually in the show<\/a>? We’ll wait.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Aussie Heat first arrived in Las Vegas in July 2015 at The D, originally performing as the Aussie Hunks.<\/p>\n

Within about a year, the production moved to the V Theater at Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood and adopted the Aussie Heat name.<\/p>\n

In 2020, Aussie Heat moved from V Theater to Mosaic on the Strip, the former Tommy Wind Theater and, before that, Empire Ballroom. The timing was less than ideal. Aussie Heat managed a few soft-opening performances before the pandemic shut down Las Vegas entertainment, short-circuiting its planned March 2020 grand opening.<\/p>\n

The show eventually resurfaced and most recently landed at Notoriety.<\/p>\n

Aussie Heat is moving into a space at Rio that is also undergoing a reinvention.<\/p>\n

The Venue at Masquerade Village was recently renovated by producer John Bentham’s Ivory Star Productions into two separate showrooms, designed for smaller productions, dinner shows, brunches, immersive events and rotating pop-ups. The current lineup includes “Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding,” “Faaabulous Drag Brunch,” “Haunted Brunch” and “Punk Rock Brunch.” Because you can never have too many brunches.<\/p>\n

The space previously hosted “Marriage Can Be Murder,” the long-running murder-mystery dinner show.<\/p>\n
