Pussycat Dolls get Las Vegas casino at Caesars Palace

The Pussycat Dolls brand is opening a casino room at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, with six to eight dancers performing five nights a week.

I'm not sure I understand Pussycat Dolls. I don't understand their appeal, to be frank. But I also don't understand their dynamic. Okay, now I do, because I looked it up. Before Pussycat Dolls were an international R&B pop group, they were a burlesque troupe founded by choreographer Robin Antin, and featuring a varying cast of dancers. Presumably the ones that became the pop group are the ones who could sing? Actually, something deep inside me is saying that the 'lead' singer of the pop group (ie the one that actually sings) wasn't a burlesque artist. I don't necessarily trust my gut feeling, however - not with my currently dodgy stomach.

Anyway, the Pussycat Dolls franchise's latest project is a new room at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas called 'The Pussycat Dolls Casino'. A troupe of six to eight dancers will perform at the casino five nights a week. The aforementioned Antin says: "The Pussycat Dolls have been a part of my life for more than a decade and it's incredible to see the brand expand from a burlesque show, to the biggest female pop group today, to a reality TV series and now this. The fact that we're going to have an entire gaming area within Caesars Palace, the most iconic and luxurious hotel on The Strip, speaks volumes to the quality of the Pussycat Dolls brand and the experience this will offer guests."

Incidentally, why doesn't 'Caesars' have an apostrophe in it? Is it because there is more than one Caesar?
