About the Ooh La La at Paris Las Vegas: The tone is set the moment you enter the theater. Two women, one dressed as a French maid and the other as a Catholic schoolgirl, are waiting to seat you. A handful of women, surrounded by mirrors and boas, are stretching onstage; it's as though the audience is peering into a boudoir.

Wearing fishnets and bustiers, the five begin a synchronized dance. What follows is best described as a topless variety show. Expect to see magic acts, comedy, impressive acrobatics, dancing, singing and more. Every act is carried out with a fair amount of eroticism - "I have a whip and I will use it," one performer sharply proclaims. Whether the girls are handcuffing one another, smearing each other with luminescent paint or kissing one another, expect lots of sensual interaction.

The comedic role is played by a French maid, who carries a feather duster and cleans up after the girls. Well into the show she becomes jealous. "All night long I clean and I clean and no one ever wants to see my ta tas!" she pouts. The audience breaks into encouraging applause, and, well, you can guess what happens next. But it goes to show that each woman gets her own solo spot - even the maid.

Show Times for Ooh La La at Paris Las Vegas: Thursday through Tuesday at 7 and 11 p.m.

Tickets: Tickets start at $58.25. Doors open about a half-hour before the performance, and seating is general admission. If you'd like to be in the front row, be sure and arrive early. Otherwise, the theater is intimate enough that views are generally good.
