They conquered New York City and now the stars of Sports Illustrated’s new Swimsuit Issue are continuing their quest for world domination in Las Vegas.
The models spent their Wednesday evening partying in Sin City and leading the pack was cover star Kate Upton.
The blonde bombshell lit up Marquee in a purple halter-neck mini dress which clung to the curves that made her cover girl two years running.
Purple reign: Kate Upton celebrated her second Sports Illustrated cover on the trot in Las Vegas on Wednesday
Kate, 20, topped off her look with simple black pumps and swept her tresses into a messy updo.
It was a busy evening for the models, who took part in a live stream of the party as they continue to promote the latest issue, which hit newsstands on Tuesday.
The day before the girls had attended the launch party for the new issue in New York.
Highlighting her curves: The star looked every inch the blonde bombshell in her striped purple dress
Party time: Kate posed up inside Marquee nightclub as she continued to drum up publicity for the new Swimsuit Issue
Bright young thing: The 20-year-old wisely decided to keep her accessories simple with black pumps and an elegant updo
It's me! Kate also posed up with her sexy SI cover
Katherine Webb put the hot in hot pink in her skimpy dress which showed off her gazelle like legs thanks to its high hemline.
Nina Agdal, who had been a hot favourite to land the cover, went for a very sexy look in a silver bandage dress.
As she posed up with Julie Henderson, who chose a glitzy gold leopard print frock, the pair looked as though they could be sisters.
Hot stuff: Nina Agdal (L) shimmered in a silver bandage dress while Alyssa Miller chose matching metallics
Black magic: (L-R) Kate Bock, Adaora and Emily Didonato all chose little black dresses for the Sin City bash
Metallic style: Alyssa Miller wowed in a black dress with metallic accents for the event
Many of the other models chose little black dresses for the occasion, with both Kate Bock and Cintia Dicker in lacy numbers.
The photo shoots featured in the magazine were taken across all seven continents.
And to celebrate this, footage from the shoots was projected as a 55,000 square foot 3-D video onto the side of Caesars Palace.
Quick change: Cinita Dicker wore two different outfits for the eventful evening
Quick change: Cintia wore two outfits during the evening, and was also seen in a figure-hugging white dress
Taking over: Footage from the Swimusit Issue photo shoots, shot across all seven continents, was projected on the side of Caesars Palace
Piece de resistance: Viewers were delighted to watch the 55,000 square foot video of Kate in Antarctica
Of course, the piece de resistance was when Kate’s cover shoot in Antarctica was displayed on one side of the hotel.
The star stripped to just a bikini in temperatures of -49 Fahrenheit, and as a result she contracted frostbite.
She told the Today show on Tuesday: 'When I came back, I was like losing hearing and eyesight because my body was shutting down, it was working so hard to keep me warm.'
Well this is awkward: Katherine Webb was grilled on the red carpet by Guillermo from Jimmy Kimmel
Matching styles: Julie Henderson (left) and Hannah Davis both wore similar leopard-print dresses for the event
Picture perfect: Chrissy Teigen had her loyal fiance John Legend by her side at the event
The blonde beauty added: 'It was freezing. I'm from Florida so, it wasn't great for me. Obviously, the pictures now, it's incredible.
'I can't believe we were all able to accomplish that.'
Kate is the first model since Tyra Banks in 1996 and 1997 to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Issue two years running.
Model mayhem: Kate, Emily, Alyssa and Nina looked excited as they arrived at Caesars Palace to take part in a live stream
