New techno popera queen Lady Gaga rocked The Pearl in the Palms for a second night, and again it was a sold-out performance of 2,500 frenzied fans, with hundreds more waiting in the casino in hopes of securing a ticket. There is no doubt that Lady Gaga is one of the hottest acts in the music business and up there at the top.

Unlike Thursday’s first show, Lady Gaga permitted leading lens lady Denise Truscello access for these four new concert photos. Palms owner George Maloof even posed with the diva this time around! Our colleague photographer Justin M. Bowen of the Las Vegas Sun also shot a photo gallery from last night’s performance.

George has been running her hit “Poker Face” as part of a new Palms advertising campaign on TV and the Internet. “We've never had a response like this to the spots in the eight-plus years we have been open,” he told me.

Vegas DeLuxe also covered Lady Gaga’s Thursday concert at The Pearl, and our Las Vegas Weekly colleague Joe Brown reviewed that concert. Lady Gaga said her two Las Vegas shows were the best of the Monster Ball Tour and that she’s looking forward to returning to Sin City for more shows.

“It’s hard to believe, but her second show was even more exciting than the first!" George said.

Kid Cudi, the rapper who departed from the tour last minute on Thursday morning, nonetheless hosted his party last night at Tao and Lavo in the sister Venetian and Palazzo, respectively. We’ll post that report with photos on Monday.
