Jason Hanson
Following right along in Jason Bourne’s footsteps, as we reported earlier today, former CIA officer Jason Hanson is bringing his show “Spy, Escape Evasion” to the Stratosphere for a three-month run starting in August.
It features all the CIA secrets that permit Jason Bourne to be the rugged hero of the silver screen. The coincidence of both of them being named Jason doesn’t escape me.
Red Mercury Entertainment chief Darin Feinstein tells me that he’s producing the show, which includes highlights from Jason’s two-day survival-and-training course and how to beat abductions.
The show has played to sell-out crowds in Dallas. Here’s a YouTube video of Jason on “The Rachael Ray Show” talking about hotel safety tips.
Security specialist Jason, who also has appeared on “Shark Tank,” says: “I’ve made it my life’s mission since I left the Agency to help good, honest Americans learn critical survival tactics that can literally mean the difference between life and death. I will show you how to escape rope, zip ties, duct tape and handcuffs in 30 seconds or less.
“It doesn’t matter who you are or where you live. There’s a chance that my safety-and-survival training could save your life one day.” You can read all about Jason and his spy escape show at SpyEscapeandEvasion.com.
TV’S LINGERIE LADIES: The extraordinary lingerie-clad female stars of Las Vegas sports company Fighting Championships have signed on for a 10-episode reality-TV series to air on Tuff TV. It will be titled “Lingerie Fighting Championships Exposed,” and CEO Shaun Donnelly expects it to do for his company what “The Ultimate Fighter” did for the UFC:
“It will be a side of Lingerie Fighting no one has ever seen before. … Our fans will be very surprised by some of the extraordinary women in the league and how hard they train for each event. And of course what happens backstage can be almost as entertaining as what happens in the cage.”
Lingerie Fighting’s sold-out events from Las Vegas to Slovakia have been broadcast on more than 1,000 cable systems, sites and TV networks worldwide and have been viewed by more than 5 million. “Sexxy” at Westgate Las Vegas producer, choreographer and star Jennifer Romas once fought for Lingerie Fighting.
Shaun says he created the reality-TV show concept after viewing backstage footage shot at LFC20 in the Hard Rock Hotel here: “I’m always in the production truck during events, so I had no idea what happened backstage. It gets pretty wild! I didn’t know our fighters had invented a drinking game where they have to take a shot every time there’s a wardrobe malfunction in the cage. Luckily, they are sports drinks, or there might be some very drunken fights on the card!”
Lingerie Fighting Championships Inc. produces mixed martial arts events for audiences and TV viewers featuring female fighters in outfits right from the pages of Frederick’s of Hollywood. More: LingerieFC.com.

Stratosphere
It is virtually impossible to be anywhere in Las Vegas and miss the Stratosphere. It towers 1,149 feet above Las Vegas and is the tallest observation tower in the United States. The casino itself is 55,784 square feet and contains 950 slot machines, 120 game tables and 2,427 hotel rooms. Of the hotel’s 2,427 rooms, 909 were recently remodeled into Stratosphere Select rooms. The Stratosphere is mostly known for its rides at the top of the tower. The Big Shot, located at the 113th floor, torpedoes riders up 160 feet using compressed air. X-Scream is a teeter-totter perched at the top of the observation deck — if that wasn’t scary enough, the coaster arm flings the riders out 27 feet over the edge of the tower. Guests looking for something more sedate can just hang around the 107th floor and simply look at the scenery.
