“Showbiz runs through our blood at Cheapshot,” Saunders said in the press release. “Without the need to play it safe, we’re taking it back to the wild times of the old school Vegas showrooms and lounges.”

Cheapshot will capitalize on its relatively small size: only 3,000 sq. ft., with seating for 99, creating an intimate setting of “rich reds with touches of gold accentuated by soft lighting.”

“Elegant booths and plush seating will surround the stage, which will present an ever-changing lineup of bawdy performances,” reads the press release announcing the discotheque’s April opening. “Bartenders will serve cheap, stiff drinks with a wink and a grin, priming the audience for a night of irreverent entertainment.”

“It will be weirdly sexy,” adds Ryan Doherty, founder of Corner Bar Management. “Downtown Vegas is the Strip’s naughty little sister and Cheapshot captures that live and loose feeling. Like anything could happen.”

Saunders, the maestro of Cheapshot and orchestrator of its live entertainment, has spent the last two decades entertaining audiences as her alter ego, Miss Behave. She was one of the original stars of Absinthe and the award-winning global phenomenon, La Soiree, and she has produced multiple critically acclaimed variety shows. Her “Miss Behave Gameshow,” became a local favorite in Las Vegas, where it was awarded “Best Strip Secret” and “Most Outrageous Show” during its three-year run.

Keep your eyes peeled for a sneak peek of Cheapshot’s early programing, which will be available soon on the venue’s website, and get ready for April!
