Two of the highlights of Viva Las Vegas’ 13th Annual Rockabilly Festival at The Orleans were the headliner performance of music and guitar legend Chuck Berry and the appearance of burlesque queen Dita Von Teese amid the more than 50 bands and 15 deejays performing each day of the four-day festival.

Contributing photographer Scott Harrison was at The Orleans to capture Berry’s performance, who rocked it in red, while Von Teese was her usual ravishing self in an out-of-this-world bustle complementing her blue summer dress. Loyal Vegas DeLuxe reader Richard Corey posted his videos of Berry and Von Teese on YouTube.

Von Teese, who dined at Julian Serrano in Aria last night, ends her, ahem, all-too-brief guest-starring turn in MGM Grand’s Crazy Horse Paris tonight but said via Twitter that she will be back.

Let’s hope so!
