In the first of three Memorial Day weekend shows to launch the new Revel resort, Beyonce wowed a packed crowd that included her husband Jay-Z and former Destiny's Child bandmate Kelly Rowland, USA Today reported.
Baby Blue Ivy Carter wasn't in attendance to see her superstar mom in action, but she did feature in a post-show video montage.
Showing off an impressive post-baby body following the Jan. 7 birth, Beyonce performed hits Crazy in Love and Love on Top in the show's early stages, following them with the seductive Naughty Girl and dance floor hit Run The World.
She married her own If I Were a Boy with the Goo Goo Dolls' Iris and then paid tribute to the late Whitney Houston with the introduction of I Will Always Love You transitioning into the 2009 hit Halo.
Before the montage rolled and the show was done, there was time for one more crowd-pleaser, the show closing with Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).
