Nicki Minaj Rings in 2013 in Las Vegas

Nicki Minaj ushered in 2013 in Sin City. The blonde bombshell shimmered in a Herve Leger Iman Foil Bandage Dress while hosting New Year’s Eve at PURE at Caesars Palace last night. She sipped champagne and took over the mic to count down to the new year with her friends and fans in the crowd.

Nicki has a big year ahead. She will make her “American Idol” judging debut beginning January 16. She is also set to launch a clothing line and release new music in the months ahead.

During an interview on the red carpet, Nicki revealed that she plans to shoot a video in the coming weeks for her Re-Up cuts “I’m Legit” with Ciara or “High School” featuring Lil Wayne.
