After the official welcome by Grand Casino Beograd General Manager Christos Tsemberas and Antonis Stergiotis, Chairman and Managing Director of the venue’s owners, Club Hotel Loutraki, the 500 invited guests were treated to a truly breathtaking show that plunged them into a dramatic world of dreams and the imaginary.
The celebrations continued the following day with a memorable red-carpet event in Grand Casino Beograd’s own premises with 1,600 invited guests. On the entertainment center on the Danube promenade they enjoyed an extraordinary night of music, dance and entertainment, including the highlight of the evening: two stunning performances by American “Queen of Burlesque,” Dita von Teese, in her “Feather Dance” and “Martini Glass” shows.
The venue was decked out for the event in a 1930s Chicago looks and feel. Live music by the Belgrade Dixieland Orchestra, featuring Ana Milenkovi and Dado Topic, created a perfect, matching sound, while a superb performance by the dance troupe Filip Pat and the Untouchables rounded off the great entertainment. But the moment everyone had waited for finally came at 11 pm, when Dita von Teese took to the stage and brought the delighted audience to a fever pitch with her poised smile and impressive show.
On 25 February all guests who entered the casino between 8 pm and midnight received a complimentary voucher worth 500 dinar to try their luck at the slot machines.
