Earlier this week, a milestone evening marked an exciting new chapter for “FANTASY,’ Las Vegas’ iconic adult revue. The show, which is celebrating its 26th year anniversary, debuted its first-ever signature lingerie line, “Lingerie by FANTASY: The Strip’s Sexiest Tease.” The special event also featured the premiere of “Fantasy Come True,” an original song created exclusively for the production, further elevating the show’s legacy of glamour, seduction, and show-stopping entertainment in Sin City.
Anita Mann, the Emmy Award-winning creator, producer, director and choreographer of “FANTASY” had some time after the special performance to sit down with The Blast to exclusively discuss the anniversary, lingerie line, calendar, and more.
Wednesday night was a milestone evening for “FANTASY” with the launch of “Lingerie by FANTASY: The Strip’s Sexiest Tease,” debut of its original song, “Fantasy Come True,” which will now be the show’s opening number, and the premiere of the show’s 2026 calendar.
For more than 26 years, “FANTASY: The Strip’s Sexiest Tease,” has set the gold standard for seductive entertainment on the world-famous Las Vegas Strip. Created by Anita Mann Productions, the award-winning review continues to evolve and grow. With 15 high-energy numbers set to iconic hits and dynamic lead singer Lorena Peril, who was named “Best Local Entertainer” by the Silver State Awards, this show brings fans back year after year.
Since its debut at Luxor’s Atrium Showroom in 1999, “FANTASY” has collected tons of honors, including its sixth consecutive gold and ninth consecutive award for “Best Female Revue” in the Las Vegas Review-Journal’s 2024 “Best of Las Vegas” awards. They’ve also received the titles of “Best Production,” “Best Bachelorette Party,” and “Best Bachelor Party,” as well as being named “All-Time Best Female Revue” and “Best Production Show” by Las Vegas Weekly.
Something Mann said she wishes she did earlier was start a much asked about lingerie line. She said she credits the fans for the idea to launch the line.
“We have a bustier and a corset that we’ve been wearing in the show in different numbers and after shows, we’ve always got people saying they want that corset. I said to myself one day, okay, we can do it and extend the brand and tell the customers, okay, you can get one,” Mann told The Blast exclusively. “We wear lingerie in the show in a number, actually two, and I thought, let’s do our own lingerie.”
Mann explained that it’s been a “monumental task” and she’s learned a lot in the last six months of putting it all together.
“It has been really a joy,” she said. “We brought like six samples from my sample maker in LA before I make multiples and hung them up that [Wednesday] night. People were saying, ‘I want that one,’ and ‘I want this one.'”
It’s Mann’s hope that the lingerie line will become a brand that “will inspire women to channel their inner showgirl.”
Mann said that the lingerie line will come in all sizes, including plus sizes, and will soon be available online.

“Modeling is fun for them [the dancers] and they have a really great day [shooting the calendar],” Mann told The Blast. “They get their makeup done and they get to be glamorous. It’s always a joy, and this year’s calendar is very classy, it’s romantic.”
She said that the dancers are “empowering themselves” both on stage and with the calendar shoot.
“They’re proud of what they’re doing. They’re performers that are women who are strong, powerful, interesting,” she continued. “They all have different backgrounds. One’s becoming a nurse. One’s becoming a psychologist. Our family of women, by the way, from 26 years ago, we’re all still connected.”
Another exciting addition to the show is a brand-new original song that will now open each performance. The name of the song – “Fantasy Come True.”
“It’s so good,” Mann said. “Incredible music producers wrote it. They do all the music for ‘Dancing with the Stars’ and ‘So You Think You Can Dance.’ They’re brilliant composers.”
Mann said the song is a “fun combination of Vegas and ‘FANTASY.'”
The pink-carpet event on Wednesday night brought out some familiar faces to help celebrate the show’s anniversary and new lingerie and calendar.
