Men of the Strip Star Nate Estimada Passes Away
Las Vegas entertainer Nate Estimada, known as “The Midknight Cowboy” on E! Entertainment’s reality TV series Men of the Strip (inspired by the Vegas act) passed away on Wednesday, June 18. Estimada was 25, and the cause of his death is an apparent suicide.
The Las Vegas resident was a member of the new adult-male revue Men of the Strip, which was launched by 98 Degrees founder and lead singer Jeff Timmons. Estimada previously was a performer in Chippendales at the Rio.
Timmons Instagrammed this statement:
I am heartbroken at the passing of my brother Nate Estimada. Nate was a gift to all of us and will be missed not only personally as a friend but also as a member of Men of the Strip.
My love, prayers and thoughts go out to his family, friends and loved ones. He will be missed dearly, and we will keep him in our hearts forever.
Men of the Strip choreographer Glenn Douglas Packard had this to say on his blog site:
From the start of this dream MEN OF THE STRIP, it was all about the guys for me, and to have a perfect diverse sexy set of guys, Nate was the only cast member that I didnt have to create a character name for him, cuz he was already “THE MIDKNIGHT COWBOY” and he had alot of “cowboy business” to spread and teach. We instantly knew he was going to be a big part of this dream.
The day he passed, we lost a big part of the dream, but Nate wanted others to be happy, and the dream of Men of the Strip will continue, it will continue hopefully way pass my lifetime, so we will honor him, we will do a tribute to our fallen brother, because he will always be part of us, and his spirit will be with us in every show we do.
Men of the Strip’s Facebook page posted their tribute to the late Estimada:
Management & cast of Men of the Strip is extremely saddened at the loss of one of our own. Cast member Nate Estimada passed away on Wednesday, June 18th. We are heartbroken at the loss of our brother and friend and send our deepest condolences to his family, loved ones, friends and fans. Our thoughts and prayers are with them all at this time.
May he rest in peace…

Chippendales Puts the Man in Mansion for its Miami Extension
Chippendales® – the #1 male revue in the world – will keep the “man” in Mansion Nightclub by extending its South Beach residency beginning Thursday, February 20 through Saturday, March 22, 2014. Chippendales, “The Show” opened in Miami on January 9th for a three-week engagement, but after sold-out shows and increased demand, an additional five weeks of shows were added to its Miami schedule.
“Miami Beach has been very good to us,” says Chippendales Managing Partner, Kevin Denberg. “The show has clearly struck a chord with the audiences in South Florida and Chippendales Miami quickly became a go-to destination for a girls night out in South Beach.”
According to Miami New Times, “whether you’re a bachelorette celebrating your final days of singledom, a recent divorcee rejoicing in the end of a failed marriage or a gal just looking to get her Missy Elliott-style freak on, the Chippendales show is an experience worth having, ESPECIALLY in the 305. Because what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but what happens in Miami… never happened.”
“We are thrilled with the response to the show; Chippendales is the perfect pre-party to any night out,” says Opium Group spokesperson, Vanessa Menkes. “Mansion has not been the same since Chippendales opened earlier this year… even male club goers are taking notice and arriving earlier to mingle with the women as they are let out of the show.”
Performances begin promptly at 9 pm each night, doors open at 8 pm. All guests are granted complimentary access to Mansion Nightclub with their Chippendales ticket and invited to meet and greet with the cast after the show. Tickets range from $49.95 to $99.95 and offer a mix of VIP tables, preferred banquettes, and traditional theatre-style seating. Bachelorettes and birthday girls in groups of six or more are invited for free as our guests!
Tickets are available at chippendales.wantickets.com or by visiting chippendales.com.
