Rock in The Rio house

Friday, Aug. 16, 2002 | 9 a.m.

It may be a toss up as to who will be more sexy and glamorous, the leggy, bare-breasted girls of "Showgirls" -- or Monti Rock III.

The 63-year-old shock Rock with an attitude joins the cast of the late-night show for a one-time guest appearance Friday at The Rio's Samba Theatre.

Showtime is 11 p.m.

"I'm going onstage and being a character," said Rock, a man who has taken self-promotion to unscaled heights. "I'm revisiting what I haven't done in 23 years."

Clad in white and draped in diamonds and pearls, the self-proclaimed Elsa Maxwell of Las Vegas will sing his two hit records ("Get Dancin' " and "I Want to Dance Withcoo"), perform a duet with the show's star, Sunny Thompson, and generally be himself.

"I want to bring the fun back to Vegas," said Rock.
