It's 10-00 am on September 29-th 2007 when Leonid arrived in Las Vegas. Of course it's not by private jet, but 1-st Class for sure...
He was very pleased to see himself on billboards all around Las Vegas
Yes, Leonid doesn't need to win 1 million bucks to be a star in Las Vegas!
   
After the long flight it was great to swim and check out , the many hotties staying at Hard Rock Hotel.
 
Like always I have My Penthouse suite in Hard Rock Hotel with a great view of Las Vegas
It's good to take a walk before the show and see what's new in town..
  
I love Europe and this Casino reminds me of it..
  
My diet is sugar, sugar, sugar.... and cakes!
 
Somebody told me that David Hasselhoff was in the cast of this show ( his first drag appearance on the stage !)
Yes it was him before, but now he is not on the show any more..... Too bad, I would have loved to see him on stage and bring him flowers .... Even if he doesn't understand my style of performance I still respect him as an actor.
  
My acts include very difficult and dangerous stunts even though I can make them look funny and easy. As much as I hate it, I just have to spend at least one hour in the GYM every day.
It's always good to take a short nap before the show to refresh myself and give some rest for my muscles.
Luxe Life’s recent prediction that the tall and uber-talented Leonid the Magnificent will be on hand to kick off showman Jeff Beacher’s Madhouse will be proven true at the Hard Rock tomorrow night.
Last year, wild and wacky Leonid, who performs in extroverted makeup, silver thigh-high boots and showgirl furs and head-dress, jumped from Vegas after being lured away by Hollywood scouts for NBC-TV’s America’s Got Talent. Beacher claimed “ foul” and lawyers for both sides threatened a raging court battle—but without drawing daggers in front of a judge, Beacher won and the 6’7” Russian carnival attraction has returned to the fold. His debut appearance tomorrow coincides with the official new season of Madhouse shows.
Originally, Paris Hilton was set to play hostess and launch a new website, but that’s been scrapped as part of her “new life after jail” that began this week after she was freed from her drunk-driving license suspension time in the Lynwood prison facility and went to Maui for a Hawaiian vacation.
Beacher told Luxe Life: “If you thought Leonid was the ultimate in bizarre entertainment, you’ve seen nothing yet. His new act will rip the roof off the Joint.

One hour before the show, I am in my private dressing room starting to put on my first make up.
 
It feels good to be a star on stage, but to get there I need a couple of bodyguards,
Why does everybody get so exited to see me and wants to touch me and take pictures with me?...
Just kidding.
 
And the show begins...
My grand opening of this show is- Silver man or Gladiator or even Devil...
I don't think that in this costume I even look like a gay person.....
  
Now I have only 30 min to change my look from wild to mild... and this transformation begins in the hot, steam shower. Come and join me ! I really need help to soap my body and get rid of all this silver paint .
 
But the show must go on and the next act is Mr. Beacher himself! Mr. Beacher entertaining his audience dressed as Britney Spears vearing the same costume in wich she appeared on MTV Music Awards 2007.
  
Britney's New Vegas Performance

 Sloppy drag Britneys are all the rage these days ... and TMZ's found the most reviling one yet.
Jeff Beacher, the madman behind Beacher's Madhouse at the Hard Rock, did his best Spears impression over the weekend ... and it was not a pleasant sight.
Warning -- this video NSFAWHJE (not safe for anyone who has just eaten).
And once again make up, make up, make up....
  
Okay, I am ready to come back to the stage again..
 
"I am beautiful no matter what you said the world cannot put me down..."
" I am beautiful in every single way"...
   
 
Gene Simmons -- Butt of the Joke

Shannon Tweed better keep an eye on her man, because Gene Simmons has a wandering eye -- toward flamboyant, tall, built men.
TMZ was at Beacher's Madhouse this past weekend at the Hard Rock in Las Vegas, where the KISS bassist was a special guest. Looking completely uncomfortable, Simmons was pulled onstage by a practically naked Leonid the Magnificent (remember him from "America's Got Talent"?) and the awkward ass-grabbing began.
Enjoy! Gene sure didn't.
****
There're always celebrities in the audience and they can never resist coming on the stage with me to have some fun and to make people laugh.
Don't forget this is Vegas and this is a comedy show. Tonight it was Gene Simmons. Damn he was hot!
  
During the mayhem, tall, strange and sexual Leonid the Magnificent pulled Gene onto the stage for the closing dance of his routine - winning screaming applause from the out of control sold-out crowd. Gene has now promised to return at the end of this month to co-host the Madhouse. -Luxe Life
Now, I just want one simple thing, get out of here, get to my room and collapse onto my bed.
I am really, really tired, but still look Magnificent!
The camera loves me.....
This show was a BLAST! But it is a new day , with new roads to travel and new adventures ahead... I am leaving Las Vegas, but I'll be back!
And remember "What's happened in Vegas- stays in Vegas, or never happened."
