NeNe Leakes, just a few weeks after finishing up "Dancing With the Stars," took on a fun 10-day role starting on Friday in Las Vegas hosting "Zumanity —The Sensual Side of Cirque du Soleil." Here are some photos taken opening night.

To USA Today, she described her role as "the Mistress of Sensuality." "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star's gig is normally filled by a drag queen.
"I'm hosting the show," she explains. "It's very tough, and it's very demanding. So it's a lot of dialogue, and when to enter and exit and the timing." Leakes has been working with the Zumanity cast and artistic director Ria Martens on these elements.
A provocative cabaret-style production, "Zumanity" is on the cutting edge of contemporary, adult-themed entertainment and blends playful innuendo with daring eroticism inside the intimate theater, according to Broadway World.
This is the first time in 30 years Cirque du Soleil has incorporated a celebrity into its production.
