Usually what happens in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas, but that's not the case when what happens in Las Vegas, is going to be live on national television.

That's the case for the Miss USA competition which will be held in Sin City on April 11th and Miss North Dakota USA is getting ready for the big show.

Stephanie Tollefson claimed the crown of Miss North Dakota USA three months ago but she has been preparing for this event for much longer than that.

(Stephanie Tollefson, Miss ND USA) "Well I've been competing since i was fifteen so I consider that preparing the whole time but I won in December and since then I've been plugging away since then."
