'Dancing With The Stars' season 27 week 2 recap: Two city-inspired nights see improvements, maniacal performances, and an emotional elimination

Last week, DWTS stars took the show to an all new level with two major city-inspired episodes: NYC for Monday night, and Las Vegas for Tuesday night

ABC's hit reality TV show 'Dancing with the Stars' is set to air season 27 episode five in a few hours. And as much as the contestants may be gearing up for the upcoming show, what keeps coming back to mind is the stellar performances they put up last week. The New York City-inspired episode saw contestants performing to songs celebrating the life of the city. And if you think that was beyond amazing, things got even spicier the next episode. Tuesday night saw participants dancing to songs celebrating Las Vegas in full glittery, a toast to the glamorous vibes of Sin City.

From foxtrots to Argentine tangos, the two episodes from last week were full of surprises, vastly improved performances, some old maniacal ones too, and of course - an emotional elimination. Here's a roundup of all you missed:
