'Dancing With the Stars Live' cast: Here's what happens in Vegas! -- EXCLUSIVE VIDEO

Last weekend I made the fantastic voyage to Planet Mirrorballus’ desert satellite to check out Dancing With the Stars: Live in Las Vegas — which got an extended run until August 5.See my review of the show here!

Our Pros Tristan MacManus and Lacey Schwimmer, Vegas hostCarson Kressley, and season 4 runner-up Joey Fatone sat down with me backstage to dish on

casino living and the difference between Live in Vegas and the “Liiiiiiiiiive! From Hollywood!” version we see on TV.  (Tristan has since left the show due to a knee injury — as you can see, he was already “elevating.” What the heck is that on his shoe?) Watch them below:

Be sure to scroll through for all four parts!

Part 2: Host Carson Kressley shows off all of his costumes. I must have that mirrorball jacket.
