All eyes were on the International Queen of Burlesque Dita Von Teese Saturday night as she striped down to just pasties and a G-string in a sultry performance of her infamous champagne glass act at the new Hyde Bellagio. Prior to her performance, Von Teese arrived on the red carpet wearing a black Herve L. Leroux dress with Christian Louboutin heels and red lipstick. Her performance artists joined her, posing in cellophane dresses and masks. "I wanted to come here [to Hyde Bellagio] because I know the group puts on great events, and I knew this would be a fun party more than anything,” said Von Teese. “I’m hoping we’ll be able to bring some of the showgirl burlesque back to Vegas. I’m doing the real version, which is the same way it was done in the 1930s and 40s; that’s what burlesque really was." When the clock struck midnight, Von Teese took to the stage dressed in a haute-couture costume adorned with thousands of Swarovksi crystals. And just as any good burlesque show goes, the shiny and glittery costume didn’t stay on for long as the brunette temptress peeled off layer after layer of clothing, including her waist cincher, stockings, corset, bra and lacy gloves before pouring a bottle of Magnum champagne over herself and climbing into a giant champagne glass. Cameras and cell phones flashed in a frenzy as she danced around the mega champagne glass, teasing and tormenting the fixated audience. After the sexy performance, the burlesque beauty spent the rest of the evening mingling with friends in the Las Vegas nightclub as the Bellagio Fountains danced behind her. If you missed Von Teese’s sensual performance you can still get your fill of sexy Burlesque at one of Sin City’s many adult shows including X Burlesque at the Flamingo Showroom and for sex appeal and a laugh check out Sin City Comedy Show at Planet Hollywood.
