History was made in Las Vegas this week as RuPaul’s Drag Race Live! celebrated its 1,000th show at the Flamingo. The milestone event brought together drag artists, celebrities, and fans for a spectacular weekend honoring the legacy of drag on the Vegas Strip. Hosted by Ginger Minj, the show featured stars like Asia O’Hara, Jaida Essence Hall, and season 16 queens Morphine Love Dion and Plane Jane. RuPaul himself took the stage at the 1,000th show, thanking the cast, crew, and fans who have made Drag Race a global phenomenon. But this moment isn’t just about the glitz and glam. It’s about the decades of werk that made it possible.
RuPaul’s first Vegas residency at the Sahara in 1994 was short-lived, but it laid the foundation for today’s success. That show introduced RuPaul to choreographer Jamal Sims—who is now the co-director of Drag Race Live! The 1,000th show live-stream of RuPaul’s Drag Race Live! is now streaming on WOW Presents Plus.
