Every entertainer you see on a Las Vegas stage or book to your suite works under a stage name. Our own roster does: Akada, Danielle, Dayna, Eve and Kimber are stage names, chosen by the entertainers, and they are what you use when you request someone. The names below are the ones that come up most on rosters around the country, sorted by the style they belong to, plus the handful of rules the pros follow when they pick one.
How a stage name gets picked
- One to three syllables. It has to be heard over a sound system and remembered after two drinks. “Destiny” works; a four-word name does not.
- Nobody else on the roster has it. Clubs keep a list. If Diamond is taken, the new Diamond becomes Jade.
- Not a real name in her life. The whole point is a wall between the stage and everything else.
- Fits the act. A glamour name for a glamour act, a playful name for a playful one. Guests read the name before they see the set.
- Spells one way. Kira, not Kyrah. Guests ask for entertainers by name at the host stand, and a name that can be spelled six ways gets lost.

The stripper name formula
The party version is your first pet’s name plus the street you grew up on, which produces Fluffy Maple and not much else. A better formula, and closer to how real names get built: take one word from the glamour or gemstone list and, if the roster already has it, add one from the Vegas or edgy list as a second word. Ruby Rogue, Vegas Velvet, Neon Ivy. Two words is the limit; three does not fit on a marquee or in a shouted request.

What the name is for, once you are in the room
At a club, the stage name is how you ask for someone. Tell the host or your server “is Jade working tonight” and they will find out. Entertainers rotate on stage in sets and come by tables between them; if you liked a set, ask for her by the name the DJ announced. For a private show, the name is the whole request: our private strippers roster lists every entertainer by stage name with photos, and you pick who you want when you book. Every booking is licensed dance entertainment for guests 21 and over; the name is the brand, and the show is the same professional act either way.
