Toni Braxton opens her headlining show, ''Toni Revealed'' at Flamingo.
Flip through our photo gallery of rehearsals, opening night excitement and excerpts from Toni's interview with Robin Leach.
First: Toni Really Revealed
Toni told Robin Leach in a recent Luxe Life interview why the name of the show is appropriate. "I am going to reveal a few things that maybe only a few people have seen or know about," she said.

Next: Dance Moves
Everybody from Magic Johnson, Ann Archer, Flex Alexander and Shanice Wilson raved about the premier show “fabulous… sexy… beautiful… dynamic… glittering… dazzling…"
Read the Luxe Life recap of the opening night.
Next: The Mini
One of Toni's outfits, seen here on and off the diva, is a mini. Designed by Anthony Franco, it took two seamstresses 120 hours apiece to sew the nude netting with 11,000 Swarovski crystals and 25,000 sequin-stones. She has become her own disco ball with the diamonds dripping off her.
Next: The Suggestion
During a New Year's high-roller event at The Venetian, Robin suggested to Toni that she do a headlining show on the Strip.
Toni recently told Robin, "You got us thinking. And now look at this -- just eight months later we’ve taken your advice and this is our new home."
Next: Good Advice
Toni asked Celine Dion for advice before moving to Vegas.
"She said to me that I absolutely had to live and perform here. It's a new Vegas and an exciting Vegas. I just go 'Wow, I can't believe I am here.' I see all the street signs with the stars’ names and I have to go here."
Next: Ultimate Bling
Toni's $1-million microphone is adorned with 6,500 diamonds with a total weight of 550 carats. It’s the only microphone in the world that has its own security guard!
When she's not using it, the bejeweled bling is on display at her Flamingo retail store.
Next: Super-Sized Toni
You know you've arrived when a resort plasters your image all over the casino, literally. Toni is seen here at 17 stories high.
Toni's response: "I’m driving and I suddenly see parts of my head and body being slowly revealed across the building. It is a great feeling."
Next: All Smiles
Toni is all smiles at the announcement of her show back in May. She told Luxe Life bout concerns of her replacing a legend. "Gladys Knight was leaving Flamingo anyway so in no way did I take her job. When I called her to say people would say I was stepping into her shoes she said she’d happily pass the torch."
Next: Red Carpet
Toni Braxton is here on the red carpet with her husband, Keri Lewis.
She talked to Robin about her family life in Vegas. "By day I am a mom, and by night I put on some red lipstick, turn into a stage performer and do my thing.
Next: Neon Nights
Toni talks about stage nerves, "I think that I need time to get the kinks out and get comfortable with the stage. Every show I have ever done, I am always nervous the first two minutes. Then it starts to go away within ten minutes, and then I am good and I think, 'this is what I can do and do it well.' And then the nerves vanish.
Next: Growing Flawless
"I am bringing out old video footage from when I signed my first record deal. So you will see me with all my flaws. When you get older, you are not afraid to show these things. I’ve been through so much that I don’t care now that everybody knows my whole story."
