Saved By The Bell's Stars Take Over Hyde Bellagio!

Class is in session! Yesterday on Sunday, Nov. 23, Hyde Bellagio’s wild day-to-night party XIV Sessions returned for an 80s and 90s themed “Saved by the XIV” edition hosted by original cast members of the “Saved By the Bell” TV series. Dustin Diamond, who played Screech, and Dennis Haskins who played Mr. Belding, were together again in a joyful reunion on Hyde’s red carpet.

Diamond and Haskins hung out at a VIP table overlooking the dance floor inside the Bayside High-themed venue. Not your typical school dance, Hyde was transformed with over-sized throwback essentials like trapper keeper notebooks and cassette tapes, complete with school bus bottle presentations. Neon-clad partygoers, festively dressed in  their best 80s and 90s gear with crop tops and fanny packs, danced throughout the evening to beats spun by DJ Julian Ingrosso, who was joined by Diamond and Haskins behind the DJ booth.
