Chunder From Down Under

Thunder from Down Under, Las Vegas

This has got to be the dream of so many guys – more women, money and status than they know what to do with.

Move over Celine Dion, Barry Manilow and David Copperfield, because the guys from Thunder From Down Under have taken over Vegas.

Sure, it’s a job. But it’s got to be one of the best ones you can get on the strip (bad pun intended).

These Aussies spend their days at leisure and their nights performing for hordes of drunk, screaming fans.

They’ve been flown to the US, accommodated in one of the top hotels in Vegas and quite literally served up to women dripping with estrogen.

At the end of the performance, they can surely have their pick of anyone and anything they want.

There’s no doubt that they’ve got talents (other than the obvious).

Their routines aren’t easy and they’ve put in years of dedication to get to the point where they can do this professionally. So in that sense, they need to be applauded.

We discovered how hard it is to get on stage and perform when we went to shoot a story for The Morning Show with Larry Emdur.

Larry was invited to get involved with one of the routines and, to his immense credit, he not only gave 110 per cent (it seems like an apt description) but even flashed some flesh.

    Interesting post. Las Vegas is really one of the best destinations in the states… Sin city has a lot to offer when it comes to entertainment. I think most people associate Vegas with casinos too much nowadays. Vegas has some of the best nightlife hot spots in the city and they will only get better and better!

      The problem is that all the nightlife spots are part of casinos and just there to get people into the gambling precincts, aren’t they?
