Brace yourselves for new muscles and a new home -- Chippendales are closing one hot chapter and kicking off another, turning up the heat at a brand-new Vegas location!
The iconic dance troupe is moving their moves to The LINQ Hotel + Experience for a sizzling new show from Jan '25, wrapping up a legendary 22-year run at the Rio with over 9,000 performances.
No need to fret over the change 'cause the format’s staying hot, with the men still rocking their iconic cuffs, collars, and those six-pack abs as they deliver the ultimate experience to singletons, bachelorette bashes, and everyone in between.
"Dancing With the Stars" pro Gleb Savchenko is trading his ballroom shoes for a bowtie and cuffs ... because he's joining Chippendales as the latest guest host with the male revue.
Our sources tell us Gleb is gearing up for a limited engagement with the legendary Chippendales hunks ... joining the guys onstage for 3 weeks of performances at the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
We're told Gleb will be doing the Chippendales thing in Sin City from April 25 to May 12 ... and once he gets his feet wet, he's going to hit the road and join the world tour cast for 6 Atlantic City shows in July at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
Gleb -- who partnered with Chrishell Stause on 'DWTS' -- says he's thrilled and honored by the opportunity, and it's going to be the first time he's performed in Las Vegas.
Be on the lookout ... our sources say Gleb's a big Patrick Swayze fan, and he's going to bust out some of Patrick's iconic dance moves during his Chippendales run.
Frankly, Gleb checks all the Chippendales boxes here ... he's a tall, dark and handsome dancer with a pretty solid stage presence to boot, so this move makes a lot of sense.
Gleb's joining Chippendales as the show celebrates its 45th anniversary this year, and he's got some big ... shoes to fill as far as celeb guest hosts go.
Macy Gray put together an impromptu private party with a bunch of Chippendales hunks ... and she had the guys act as her backup dancers as she belted out some tunes!!!
Sources tell TMZ ... Macy was having dinner with some friends Wednesday night in Vegas when they had the idea to celebrate the world opening back up, so she enlisted the male revue.
We're told Macy rented out the Star Piano Cocktail Lounge, with a few requests ... 5 Chippendales dancers and enough musical equipment set up for a gig.
Macy and her crew rolled up to the piano bar at 10:30 PM and stayed until about 1 AM ... singing some Fugees and even some of her own hits like "I Try."
With Macy showing off her pipes and playing the piano, the Chippendales did what they do best ... dance.
We're told the booze was flowing ... Macy bought a bottle of Casamigos tequila and a bottle of Champagne ... and she cracked jokes in between songs.
"FBOY Island" star Chaun Williams is going back to his roots ... he's going to be dancing for Chippendales again when the male revue returns next month from a 17-month hiatus.
A rep for Chippendales tells TMZ ... Chaun is returning to Chippendales when the show comes back to the Rio hotel and casino in Las Vegas for the upcoming Labor Day Weekend.
Chaun's famous now for being dubbed the nicest guy on "FBOY Island" ... but before his big break on the HBO Max hit, his claim to fame was dancing for Chippendales when he was just 18.
Ya gotta see the video of Chaun's shirtless dance moves during the latest rounds of Chippendales rehearsals ... looks like he's already back in his male revue groove.
Chaun went on to perform for Zumanity by Cirque du Soleil after getting his Sin City start with Chippendales ... but with Zumanity shuttered by the pandemic and not reopening, Chippendales is welcoming him back into the fold for their big return.
Another reality TV star will be joining Chaun on stage when the Chippendales come back to Vegas Sept. 1 ... we're told Ricky Rogers from MTV's "Double Shot at Love" and "Jersey Shore: Family Vacation" will also be dancing ... and stripping.
Chippendales is making their fans' wildest fantasies come true -- you can finally bring home one of their exotic dancers!!!
The male revue is offering a new virtual experience called "Chippendales@Home" ... and the streaming parties allow party people to hang out with Chippendales dancers from the comfort of their own homes.
The virtual experience is a 30-minute party with at least 2 Chippendales dancers and you can chat, flirt, play games and most importantly -- give or receive a virtual lap dance!!!
The new service streams from platforms such as ZOOM, House Party, FaceTime or Google Hangout -- and Chippendales says it's way easier to get to know their performers in such an intimate group setting.
They're also offering FREE virtual parties for health care workers and first responders -- a well-deserved treat for them. Additionally, if you bought a ticket to a Chippendales show postponed by the pandemic ... you can also get a free party.

As we reported ... Chippendales has been going the digital route to keep clients entertained during shelter-in-place orders, with in-home workout tutorials.
But, now it's expanding, and the virtual lap dance sounds way more fun!!!
Chippendales is going the digital route to keep their clients entertained -- but more importantly ... as fit as their male exotic dancers.
The location in Vegas is ramping up a series of videos set to be featured on their social media channels that dish out in-home workouts fans and viewers alike can watch and participate in from the confines of quarantine. The sexy twist ... one of their own guys is leading the sessions, in and out of clothes.
It's pretty interesting ... while we're used to seeing Chippendales dancers in strictly a stripper setting, here we're actually seeing one of these hunks under less raucous circumstances.
TMZ.com
Check out some of their workout videos we got a hold of -- so far, it looks like they'll be breaking down their exercise regiments by muscle group. In these clips, the guy goes over muscle workouts (using household items) as well as glutes. One shows more skin than the other.
Of course, the home gym series comes on the heels of gyms all across the country being closed down -- not to mention most of Vegas itself being shuttered in recent weeks due to the coronavirus. Looks like Chippendales is getting creative ... and NOT going off the radar.
One last thing ... we're told Chippendales is sending mass emails to customers and ticket holders teasing their return on the strip -- promising 'Jersey Shore' star Vinny G is set to come back as their celeb guest host, and aiming for late April to June for things to be back in full swing.
That might be little ambitious considering how things are trending lately -- officials say quarantine life could be the new normal well into the summer and possibly beyond.
Vinny from "Jersey Shore" sure is a tease, but luckily for the ladies -- and fellas -- out there, he aims to please ... 'cause he's returning to his Chippendales gig to quench everyone's thirst.
The self-proclaimed Keto Guido will embark on a 7-week engagement beginning April 24 through June 7 at the Rio All-Suites Hotel and Casino. He'll perform 3 nights a week during that run ... and it's easy to see why they've scheduled him for multiple nights a week.
The self-proclaimed Keto Guido has been great for Chippendales' bottom line after not one but TWO sold-out engagements in 2019. Since his first performance, Chippendales has seen huge demand for him to return.
Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino hopped onstage at a Chippendales show, but he didn't let it all hang out ... he judged how well other guys could hang.
The "Jersey Shore" star was in Vegas Sunday night along with his wife, Lauren, and Pauly D to watch Vinny Guadagnino reprise his now-legendary routine for one night only ... and his pal invited him up to join the fun.
Vinny asked Sitch to judge a contest to see which of 3 aspiring dancers was most fit to be a Chippendales performer, but he tried to coax Mike into trying out himself.
Check it out ... Situation insists to the crowd, including Lauren, he's just there to judge, but adds a "for now" ... hinting he might put his stripper background to use sometime soon.
Vinny from "Jersey Shore" is gonna let it all hang out again for Chippendales ... they're inviting him back cause he was huge ... at the box office, that is.
Due to popular demand, as they say, we're told Vinny will headline Chippendales during a 6-week run beginning July 26 and ending September 1st. It's no secret why the male revue would want him back -- Vinny's been very, very good for biz.
We're told ticket sales during his April through May run rivaled Tyson Beckford's legendary 2017 run.

'JS' fans, or just fans of abs, will remember Vinny made the crowd go wild ... first with a sneak peek of his Italian stallions and then with a steamy shower scene. Fans should note, his ripped keto diet fueled bod will be on display for the Friday and Saturday night gigs at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino.
BTW, Vinny said Chippendales never told him to bare his ass in that shower scene, it was actually his choice ... "Because I've always been known to go hard or go home."
Good, wet news here -- footage of Vinny from "Jersey Shore" doing his stripping thing has leaked ... and he definitely gives up the goods.
Vinny was onstage as part of the Chippendales revue at the Rio All-Suites Hotel and Casino in Vegas last weekend, and he looks like a natural at getting naked for crowds of women. Aside from his ripped body, if you can look at anything else, it's clear his tweaked ankle -- which had him wearing a walking cast last week -- is juuuust fine now.
TMZ.com
The reality star started out his performance with his back to the crowd and his caboose on full display for the screaming ladies behind him. Gotta say ... Vinny boy looks good!
Ya can watch the video yourself to see what else he did under the spotlight -- spoiler alert ... the dude's a natural-born performer, and a bit of a stud too. That much he made clear with a quick flash of his manhood as he was facing off with a lucky gal.
If "Jersey Shore" ever flames out ... Vinny obviously has a great plan B in on his hands.
"Jersey Shore" star Vinny Guadagnino needs a scooter to get around ... because he's nursing a severely sprained ankle that could throw a wrench in his new Chippendales gig.
We've just obtained video of Vinny cruising down the Las Vegas strip in a scooter ... and you can clearly see a huge black boot over his right foot. We're told Vinny recently suffered a really bad ankle sprain during rehearsals for Chippendales.
Vinny's scheduled to perform with Chippendales every weekend through the end of the month ... so a sprained ankle could seriously affect his new line of work. Anyone who's been to Chippendales knows the hunks put their bodies to the test to put on a good show.
But, Vinny's Jersey tough ... we're told he's been pushing through his injury, and he rides the scooter and slips on the walking boot during the week to keep his bum ankle from getting worse.
The good news for Vinny ... Pauly D is around to lend a helping hand.
Las Vegas will start to crank back up to normal as many of its most popular shows are ready to return to the stage ... but not all.
The Blue Man Group, Penn & Teller, David Copperfield, Wayne Newton, Eddie Griffin, Piff the Magic Dragon and Chippendales will all return to action Tuesday night after canceling performances Monday in the wake of the massacre.
Celine Dion's show at Caesar's Palace will also go on.
Jennifer Lopez, however, has canceled her next 3 gigs this week at Planet Hollywood, saying she's "heartbroken." Cirque du Soleil's "Michael Jackson One" -- which is at Mandalay Bay -- is also on ice for the time being.
Tyson's been performing in the Las Vegas Chippendales' show for months and says while men can't wait to see the big fight Saturday, he thinks women would rather take in some shirtless, muscular dudes who aren't bleeding, bruised and talking way too much.
As for who Tyson's putting his money on in the fight ... he says it's the guy with the better muscles.
The folks at Chippendales hope so ... 'cause they were so impressed with the Olympian's Speedo stunt at the ASU basketball game last week, they want him to shake it onstage!
Tyson Beckford has a tip for all the ladies coming to his Chippendales shows in Vegas -- don't do what Mariah Carey did when she came face-to-face with his dong.
Tyson told our photog at LAX that even though Mimi slipped him $300 for a BIG peek at his goods last week ... that was more of an old friends with benefits situation.
He explained why he's not in the strip game for tips -- and revealed the one thing he does want from the crowd when he's shaking his thang. Hint: think oral.
If ya wanna know what Tyson Beckford's junk looks like -- ask Sheryl Underwood … because "The Talk" host got an eyeful of his manhood in Vegas this weekend.
Beckford made his Chippendales debut Friday night at the Rio -- and gave Sheryl a very up close and personal introduction to his man parts ... while slipping out of his towel and into briefs.
Watch the vid ... Sheryl might have gotten the "biggest" show, but the audience got something too.
Tyson's doing the stripper thing for a few more weeks -- aka best promotion ever for "Chocolate City."
