X Burlesque is a topless dance revue for adults, 18 and over, playing at the Flamingo. The room is Bugsy's Cabaret, which Caesars now bills as the X Burlesque Theatre on this show's page, so expect to see both names on tickets and signs.
It's a small cabaret of about 230 seats, with a pole out in the audience in front of the stage. Tickets come in three categories: Pink, VIP and General Admission. Our short answer: book Pink if you want to be right by the action, VIP for the best balance of view and price.
Best seats for X Burlesque
The best seats are in the Pink category, the ring closest to the pole and the runway, and our pick is Pink 3, the block that faces the stage straight on.
Pink is the top price category, and you pay for proximity: the dancers work the pole and runway a few feet from you. The show also includes some playful audience interaction, and the closer you sit, the likelier you are to be part of it.
Best value seats
VIP is the best value: a reserved seat in the row of blocks just behind Pink, for less than a Pink ticket, with a clear view of the stage.
The VIP blocks are numbered 1 to 5 around the room. In a cabaret this size, none of them is far from the stage, so pick the most central one left on your date.
Seats to avoid
General Admission is the cheapest ticket but also the gamble, because it doesn't come with an assigned seat and the GA areas are off to the sides of the room.
If you buy GA, arrive early so you have a little choice. If you're set on watching from a particular spot, spend a bit more on VIP or Pink.
Accessible seating
Wheelchair and companion seats are handled by the box office, so call before you book rather than picking a seat online.
We couldn't find an official description of where the wheelchair spaces are in this room, so ask the box office to confirm the location and the view when you call.
Section by section
Pink 2, Pink 3 and Pink 4
The closest seats in the house, wrapped around the pole and the runway that leads to the stage. Pink 3 sits in the middle, facing the stage; Pink 2 and Pink 4 are on either side of the runway, still right next to the action.
This is where you want to be if you came for the full experience and don't mind a performer's attention.
VIP 1 to VIP 5
Reserved seats in the ring behind the Pink blocks. VIP 3 is the most central, behind Pink 3; VIP 2 and VIP 4 sit behind the side Pink blocks, and VIP 1 and VIP 5 are at the ends of the ring, nearer the stage.
General Admission
The cheapest tickets, with no assigned seat, in the areas on the sides of the room. You'll see the show, but at more of an angle than from the center.

Other shows in this theater
Wayne Newton: Up Close & Personal plays the same room, which his show's page calls The Wayne Newton Theater. Seat categories differ from show to show: see our Wayne Newton seating chart for his.
