As performances were displayed, the screen switched to visuals of the Kalahari that had the effect of makaing the dancers appear to be in a desert.

The first two hours of the show (pre-show) was set aside for red carpet moments: Guests arrived, dressed to impress, and posed for pictures in front of the YAMA backdrops before they proceeded to show off their cash power at the cash bar.
