Expo to cater to women’s needs, wants, desires

Despite the fact that it's a fair for women, there will be few men trolling the crowds Jan. 31 at the South Point exhibit halls. The only ones there may be working the stage, undressing.

"Thunder from Down Under" performances at noon and 2 p.m. on the main stage are the highlight of the eighth annual Las Vegas Women's Fair Jan. 31 at the South Point exhibit hall, organizer Lori Heeren, director of sales for CBS Radio, said.

"Most of the men don't want to be anywhere near the crazy women who want to shop and look at hot men," she said.

The fair, which is free, is promoted as the place for "all the things that women love."

In that case, women love shopping, stripping and soap operas.

"General Hospital" actors Jason Cook (Dr. Matt Hunter) and Tyler Christopher (Nikolas Cassadine) will sign autographs from noon to 3 p.m. at the Channel 13 booth. "Thunder from Down Under" stars will sign autographs between performances from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The fair closes at 4 p.m.

For many the fair is good, clean fun at zero cost. With a touch of naughtiness.

The first 500 visitors receive romance bags from Party Gals, an adult toys company. The bag also contains a feather boa, an Albertsons recyclable grocery bag and Weight Watchers snacks. Inside they'll get glasses of champagne and coupons for free makeovers from Euphoria Salons.

Heeren said women start lining up at 7:30 a.m., so she stresses that early birds will get the worm.

The fair will be a menagerie of swag. Most of the 100 vendors are shopping-related and many have giveaways, she said. Stripper 101 is conducting pole-dancing classes on the demonstration stage at 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. for "fitness and possibly to entice your significant other."

For those who like to sit at tables, rather than dancing on them, there will be free poker classes every hour at the Las Vegas Poker Parties booth in the center aisle. It will host mini-tournaments with prizes awarded at the end of the day.
