Some of Las Vegas's hottest performers stripped down to support HIV at the Fifth Annual Solo Strips, raising nearly $20,000 to benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS (BCEFA) and Aid for AIDS of Nevada (AFAN). More than 400 guests packed the Absinthe Theater at Caesars Palace to watch the 15 artists take it all off for stripped down solo performances.Â
Performances included burlesque-style numbers including a steamy bathtub scene by "Sexxy The Show" creator Jennifer Romas; a blindfolded scaffold striptease by Alex Stabler and breathtaking barely there aerial performances from Alyssa Mccraw and Miguel Garcia.
Director/producer, Ryan Lyons, launched the fundraiser five years ago and has since raised nearly $35,000 to fight HIV.
Lyons, who rectnly retired from performing said, "I could not think of a better way to take my final bow than to do so with so many kind-hearted and talented individuals by my side, coming together for such a worthy cause."
Check out some of the best performances below.
