During Labor Day weekend on Sept. 1, Chelsea Handler, the Grammy-nominated comedienne, TV host, six-time bestselling author and advocate, made history with the debut of her Las Vegas residency “Chelsea at The Chelsea,” the first female comic residency at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
To the delight of her audience on opening night Sunday, Handler made a grand entrance on stage flanked by two dancers from Excalibur headliners Thunder From Down Under.
Before the show, Handler surprised guests at CliQue Bar & Lounge at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas by making a specialty cocktail in honor of her residency.
The drink, aptly named “Chelsea’s Cocktail,” features a mix of some of her favorite ingredients: Tanqueray Gin, champagne, lemon syrup and simple syrup and garnished with a lemon twist. The cocktail will be available throughout the duration of Handler’s residency into next April.
Post-opening night show, Handler, dressed in black, posed for photographs with audience members at the foot of the stage.
As previously announced, Handler will donate $1 of every ticket purchased to “Chelsea at The Chelsea” back to The Animal Foundation, Nevada’s largest open admission shelter.
