A bawdy, irreverent burlesque and variety show is rumored to be coming to Plaza Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

“Miss Behave’s Mavericks” previously ran at Cheap Shot, a bar in the Fremont Street entertainment district.<\/p>\n

No official announcement has been made yet, but we’re told a deal is being finalized to bring the show to Plaza hotel, in partnership with Base Entertainment.<\/p>\n

As we call it in Las Vegas, Saturday.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“Miss Behave’s Mavericks” comes from the twisted brain of a longtime Las Vegas producer and performer, Amy Saunders.<\/p>\n

Before her show’s run at Cheap Shot, a joint endeavor with downtown visionary Ryan Doherty (who owns We All Scream, Park on Fremont, La Mona Rosa, formerly La Comida, and others), Saunders was the star of the wildly entertaining “Miss Behave Gameshow” at what was Bally’s, now Horseshoe.<\/p>\n

In both previous “Miss Behave” shows, it felt like Saunders made them happen through sheer force of will, with shoestring budgets and a heavy reliance on word-of-mouth for marketing.<\/p>\n

\"Miss
Fun fact: Miss Behave is married, so she’s not technically a “Miss.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Hitching her wagon to Base Entertainment could boost the possibility of success at Plaza, despite some questionable choices on the part of Base in the past.<\/p>\n

Base Entertainment<\/a> was involved with “Amystika,” the disastrous “Bat Out of Hell,” “Puppet Up” and the uninspired (but long-running) “Defending the Caveman.” To their credit, they’ve also had successes with “Criss Angel Mindfreak,” “Jersey Boys,” Mat Franco and the excellent but short-lived “Million Dollar Quartet.” Base knows Las Vegas entertainment, and nobody gets it right every time.<\/p>\n

Saunders’ shows are quick-witted and audacious, the perfect vibe for a downtown show, assuming the prices aren’t too high. Tickets at Cheap Shot started at $25 when it launched, a loss leader to build awareness. Unfortunately for the show, the ticket prices never got much higher, and it seems the production wasn’t able to make money in that spot. Cheap Shot is more a bar than a theater, so it was time to move, anyway.<\/p>\n

Base Entertainment can absolutely help with marketing, and that will be key to the success of the show at Plaza.<\/p>\n

Here are some highlights of “Miss Behave’s Maverick’s” when it was at Cheap Shot. The show was known for its unannounced drop-ins by Strip performers like Mac King, Sam Wills (Tape Face) and others.<\/p>\n
