Flip The Strip (great title—another stroke of genius for the folks over there at HGTV) isn’t quite as random as it sounds. Yes, the hunky handymen do, indeed, moonlight as dancers—specifically as stars of the stage show Australia’s Thunder From Down Under at The Strip’s iconic Excalibur Hotel & Casino.
But, prior to joining the revue, they all had experience in construction and/or home renovation.Now, they’re launching a house-flipping business of their own with the help of interior designer Kelly Stone.
