While Mr. Vegas DeLuxe Robin Leach is on vacation and attempting to work as little as possible from afar, Vegas DeLuxe will be featuring celebrity guest columnists for the first half of this month until Robin’s return. If you’re knowledgeable about Las Vegas, the names should be familiar. Today, it’s topless dancer Liz Grantham of Norbert Aleman’s Crazy Girls in the Riviera.

I’ve never been a girl who could sit still for very long. I’m always off and running somewhere, trying new things, foods and experiences. Living in Las Vegas has been a perfect fit for this single and swinging girl. It seems to satisfy my yearning for more, more, more! Between dancing in Crazy Girls and Vegas nightlife, I certainly can get my fill of burning the dance floor along with experiencing some of the sexiest encounters ever!

(Like the time I took a dare and kissed a complete stranger on the elevator ride up to Ghostbar in the Palms, only to find out that his girlfriend was waiting for him on the top floor. Glad I wore stain-proof lipstick -- she was big!)

I’m a super-active gal (my mom says hyperactive), and being part of the best show in Las Vegas (yes, I’m biased, but it is!), I get to be involved in so many things that you might not normally get a chance to do. Like all the gorgeous photo shoots where I get to wear the sexiest lingerie and bikinis, and now I have many photo galleries of me on our new Crazy Girls Web site CrazyGirlsLV.com. All that time spent posing in front of the mirror is being put to good use, Mom! I’m proud of my photos … so sexy!

Besides being Crazy online, my cast mate Valentina and I recently modeled for Strip Las Vegas magazine. The photographer Scott Santos also is the owner, and he has a way with women that brings out their inner beauty. (Anytime, Scott!) Look for all of us Crazy Girls in the upcoming issue of Strip Las Vegas. It’s an interview where we’ve exposed our personal hidden desires -- with sexy photos of each of us!

For any performer, there are those times where people on the street recognize you. OK, I’m not talking like the frenzied crowds that attack Britney Spears. But there are those moments. Sometimes it’s fun and a compliment, other times it’s like being stalked. One night, I had to leave a club before my friends because we were rehearsing new routines for the show early the next day. There was a guy who had made himself known to me on the dance floor as “a real fan.” I didn’t know what that meant until I was followed out to my car. Good thing my friend Justin was working valet -- some fans just don’t know when no means no!

With a slogan like “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas,” many people come here to let their hair down and get wild. When I’m onstage performing in Crazy Girls, I get to satisfy my exhibitionism and tease and excite the audience. I know we’re adding to their wild Las Vegas experience, giving them memories and stories they can bring back home.

Some of the wildest times I’ve had have been after the show with my girls at the Strip Las Vegas parties. If you don’t keep your head on straight during their parties, you might end up kissing a girl and liking it!

After the crazy Vegas nights and when the sun comes up (and it always does here), grab yourself a Bloody Mary and visit some of my must-see spots.

Red Rock Canyon

I hike and go horseback riding there all the time. I’m lucky because I have friends who have a horse ranch, so they bring down their horses to the canyon, and I can go riding with them any time. The raw, red colors of the mountains are breathtaking, and the path edges that you ride on make your heart race when it feels like your horse is losing footing, which often happens with my favorite horse. She’s wily and takes whatever chance she can to give me a rough-and-tumble ride.

Lake Mead

I love to go waterskiing there! I tell the Crazy Girls that it’s the best place to practice your balance. I brought a few of us out to ski when we were rehearsing for our “Crazy on the Pole” video. Pole dancing is very different than the rest of our dancing that we perform in Crazy Girls. And I find that waterskiing uses some of the same muscles that I use when pole dancing.

Fountains at Bellagio

The combination of the music exploding with the water makes me so emotional. Some songs make me tear up, and others just make me hot!

Artisan Lounge

Artisan Lounge in the Artisan Hotel & Spa off I-15 and Sahara for the sexiest Happy Hour! (Though I’m looking forward to our own Crazy Girls Happy Hour at our Crazy Girls Cafe opening in New Orleans, where you’ll get some pretty sexy and not-so-pricy Happy Hours.) The Artisan is this off-the-beaten-path little haven for art and antique lovers. It’s sexy, dark and full of beautifully gilded framed art masterpieces -- everywhere you look -- and antique loveseats and massive leather chairs fit for a king and perfect for seducing your lover!

Crazy Girls

Of course, the best show in Las Vegas is Crazy Girls! I wish that one time I could be in the audience and sit back and enjoy our sexy show, but then I wouldn’t have the awesomely hot body that it’s created! I always had a pretty body, but Crazy Girls has added the rock hard abs along with the tight butt -- but you guys already know this from seeing the bronzed derrieres on our statue in front of the Riviera!
