Emma & Jeffory Beckers 

​Emma Beckers (Director) After having acted in the show that started this journey, Nana's Naughty Knickers, I'm super excited to get the opportunity to direct the sequel with my hubby Jeffory.  This fast paced show is a laugh a minute with lots of craziness and a whole lot of Vegas fun!  I hope you have as good a time watching it, as I had directing it.  Don't forget to take a picture with our showgirls and remember, what happens at El Tropical can most definitely not stay at El Tropical!  Enjoy the show!
