The rain has stopped, the snow has ended, and the sun is shining on the 17 Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition supermodels as they started their three-day Las Vegas visit this morning.
Mayor Oscar Goodman -- lucky guy -- issued the official welcome to our city and the Strip, and our contributing photographer Scott Harrison -- another lucky guy -- was onsite for the greeting at The Mirage volcano.
The girls are now dividing up into selected groups for visits to Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville in the Flamingo and the Garden of the Gods pool at Caesars Palace, from which we’ll have more photo galleries later.
Another group is participating in a Mirage poker tournament, and unlike the two other events, it is off limits for photography and fans. The 2010 cover girl Brooklyn Decker leads the sexy group of stunning sensations, who arrived here at 2 a.m. today, as we reported this morning.
Our contributing photographer Erik Kabik -- another lucky guy -- also was on duty and told me: “They re-created The Beatles’ Abbey Road album cover for the cameras as a nod to the Cirque Du Soleil show The Beatles Love that appears at The Mirage. The Strip was shut down to only one lane on the west side of the road for this setup, and during the shot, they closed all lanes for this great and unique photo opportunity.”

We’ll continue to add photos to this gallery today, so please check back often as the bikini beauties dazzle our city brighter than our existing neon! Meantime, enjoy the videos by loyal Vegas DeLuxe reader and videographer Richard Corey from the models’ arrival at Caesars Palace and their appearance at Rao's that he posted on YouTube.
