The fl amboyant "Dancing Queen of Fashion," Betsey Johnson has
been rocking the fashion world for more than 40 years. Best known for
her whimsical, rock 'n' roll style and signature cartwheel at the end of her
fashion shows, Johnson continues to be a sparkling force in the industry
with her modern-day vintage trends that are a must-have for any aspiring
fashionista. Johnson recently shared with Las Vegas Magazine's Leslie
Frisbee what makes her flip for Sin City.
The city
I love the fact that the city is always awake. And there's such a great mix of
people; it's like minestrone soup. It's a place where everyone can feel comfortable.
You can come here and be whatever you want to be, just like New York.
The Beatles Love
You have to love all of the shows that are available in Vegas. I get lazy in New York
even though we have great shows there, too. I was so inspired by The Beatles Love.
Spago
I fell in love with Spago because the hostess there told me she just bought her
wedding dress from Betsey Johnson.
Mandalay Bay pools
You have the Four Seasons Hotel pool, which is laid-back; then you walk out
another door and you have waves and sand like you're on the beach and you walk
out another door and there's a different pool. It's so unique; it's a fantasyland.
Luxor light
I'm staying at the Four Seasons Hotel and I can see the pyramid from my
window. The light looks like a runway; I thought it was the airport. I am
so intrigued by that light.
Betsey Johnson
I have two boutiques here, one at Fashion Show and (the other) at Miracle
Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort. I love the style in Vegas, it
reminds me of New York.
