Nine of Las Vegas’ sexiest ladies showed off their toned, bikini-ready bodies as they strut across the red carpet leading into the illustrious nightclub. Backstage, the ladies anxiously waited for the competition to begin. The stakes were high and the competition was fierce as only five of the best contenders would move on to the grand finale competition March 31, where they will vie for the ultimate title of Miss Knockout.

Excitement rolled over the crowd as they waited for the competition to begin. DJ Forbes pumped up the party-goers to his electric hits like Chris Brown’s “Yeah 3x,” and Studio 54’s talented dancers tantalized the audience as they jammed on stage in their fire-engine red go-go boots.

Studio 54’s own DJ Loczi, took control of the mic to host the sizzling competition, introducing the Miss Knockout contestants one-by-one. Those dancing and partying in the iconic nightclub were drawn to the stage and couldn’t help but scream for the sexy contestants as they flashed their sultry, playful smiles and danced across the stage. The audience got a glimpse of the contestants’ personalities when Loczi asked them entertaining yet thought-provoking questions, like “What is your craziest Vegas experience?” and “If you could have any super power, what would it be?”

The audience continued to enjoy Studio 54’s boxing-themed atmosphere and bumping beats as they casted their own votes for “People’s Choice” and awaited a final decision from the judges, including Channel 13’s evening meteorologist Bryan Scofield. The crowd roared as Loczi took to the stage to announce the night’s finalists. First were the judge’s picks: Whitney Green, Michelle Tarajcak, Jennipher Frost and Delicia Dean. The ladies shrilled, waved to the audience and mouthed “thank you” to the judges. Loczi left the crowd in suspense before finally announcing Yesiney Burgess as the “People’s Choice” winner. Obviously satisfied with the picks, the audience cheered as the girls basked in glory under a shower of celebratory balloons.

These lucky gals will move on to Miss Knockout’s grand finale competition on March 31 where they will have the opportunity to compete for the official Miss Knockout title, a $5,000 prize, an official contract with MGM Grand and VIP parties with their friends at Studio 54 after every boxing match.

The ladies who were not chosen to move on to the finals should not lose hope as they have the opportunity to enter next week’s preliminary round on Thursday, March 17.
