Saturday, June 19, was a special night for Dusk, the Atlantic City nightclub at Caesars.

To celebrate its one-year anniversary, the club, which was co-owned by the late DJ AM, brought in supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio and held a huge bash.

Ambrosio along with her friends and fellow models (Aline Ambrosio, Cassia De Lara, Renata Maciel, Fernabda, Ana and Izabel) partied at the club’s birthday party. And, according to those in the know,  the ladies made it a nice girls’ summer weekend at Caesars, enjoying the sun deck by the pool and dining at Mia.

During the party, Alessandra and friends gave a shout out on the mike, cut the cake and danced on the dance polls throughout the night.

Check back for photo gallery, which should be up soon.
