“Opening Forty Deuce again in Las Vegas, and doing it on New Year’s Eve, was incredibly significant for me,” said Ivan Kane, creator and owner of Ivan Kane’s Forty Deuce.
Ivan Kane’s Forty Deuce is officially open. The iconic burlesque nightclub marked its return to the Las Vegas Strip with a packed grand opening celebration on New Year’s Eve, inside Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, welcoming guests into the reimagined Forty Deuce 2.0.
Partygoers rang in the New Year inside the intimate, brand-new venue, experiencing Forty Deuce’s signature fusion of nightlife and live burlesque entertainment across multiple stages throughout the room.


The opening night featured DJ Graham Funke keeping the crowd dancing, plus Kane’s burlesque shows, with six dancers, two live bands and a high-energy mix of lights, lasers, visuals and sound, delivering the immersive, kaleidoscopic experience that has defined the Forty Deuce brand for more than two decades.
The NYE opening marked the return of Ivan Kane’s nightclub to its original home at Mandalay Bay. Guests celebrated with curated NYE offerings, live performances and a midnight countdown by the Forty Deuce dancers, ushering in 2026 at the Strip’s newest and sexiest nightlife destination.
“Opening Forty Deuce again in Las Vegas, and doing it on New Year’s Eve, was incredibly significant for me,” said Ivan Kane, creator and owner of Ivan Kane’s Forty Deuce.
“This city is where Forty Deuce belongs, and seeing the opening night guests experiencing it for the first time confirmed my belief that Forty Deuce is back at just the right moment.”


With its grand opening now complete, Ivan Kane’s Forty Deuce is open. Hidden behind the escalators past The W Las Vegas and just off the casino floor, the venue is open Thursday through Sundays from 10 p.m. to close (late night).
The grand opening continues Forty Deuce’s legacy of redefining nightlife by blending highly produced burlesque shows with live music, DJs and an elevated atmosphere unlike anything else on the Strip.
