About

Genesis

On the morning of the eclipse, Niki Sanders is performing a striptease for a subscriber, huggerz69. An alarm sounds and she sends him an instant message, telling him his time is up. When he asks for more, she asks for more money, and he calls her a "bitch".

Later, at Yamagato Industries, an excited Hiro Nakamura runs up to his friend Ando Masahashi's desk claiming he can bend time and space. Ando quickly closes a video chat window for lasvegasniki.com

One Giant Leap

After renting a Nissan Versa at LAX, Hiro checks 9th Wonders! and tells Ando they need to head to Las Vegas. Ando, who's watching a video from lasvegasniki.com on his iPod, comments that it's their destiny.

Collision

As Niki prepares to seduce Nathan Petrelli at Mr. Linderman's behest, Micah tells her that it's safer to perform on the Internet, which is just acting. Niki seems shocked that he knows how she earns her living.

Hiros

After an argument with Hiro causes Ando to set off on his own, he uses the site's WHOIS info to locate Niki's house and ask her for help, but she tells him she's not the same girl he sees on the Internet. The encounter takes place while she is being questioned by police, requiring her to admit that she "runs a website."

Better Halves

When D.L. Hawkins shows up at Niki's house, she tells him she's changed since he left. He tells her he knows (and doesn't care) that she's had to strip on the Internet to make ends meet.

The Fix

At the Women's Correctional Facility, Dr. Witherson says she read Niki's file and learned all about her--including her website.

Graphic Novel:Walls, Part 2

At the Moab Federal Penitentiary, Niki swings on a pole to defeat some antagonizing agents. She kicks them, using moves she learned as a stripper.

The Butterfly Effect

A DC reporter hassles Tracy Strauss on her identical appearance to Niki's and shows her an advertisement for lasvegasniki.com. Tracy says that anybody with a computer could create the print off.

Heroes Evolutions

On September 24, 2008, lasvegasniki.com was changed from a redirect to another site (see notes below) its own site. After users sign up for Heroes Evolutions content, they can watch a short teaser video of Niki stripping, which is interrupted with static and a message that says, "Video player not responding. Contact your system administrator."

Notes

• During Season One, lasvegasniki.com was simply a redirect to 9thwonders.com. It was later changed to redirect to NBC's Saturday Night Live website. After the airing of The Butterfly Effect, the page was changed into a Heroes Evolutions site.

Trivia

• Niki's screen name is XXXNikki4u.
• The bottom of the screen of the real-world website says "クレジットカードを開始するクリック". This roughly translates to "credit cards accepted--click start".
