Vegas Review

Alright, I’ve survived a week vacation in Vegas. I’m a little more broke than I was a week ago but it was completely worth it. I only gambled about 10 minutes total and I’m up $12. Woowoo. We went to 4 shows, 3 of which were great. And it was just overall one of the most amazing weeks I’ve ever had and a huge reason for that goes to the friends I went with. So here’s two songs for you guys that I think will forever and ever will go hand in hand with this trip.

P.S. – No one judge me for posting Soulja Boy. It’s an inside joke and I actually hate his music. Also, check out my story about a week in Vegas through music here.

Styx – Come Sail Away [YSI]

Soulja Boy Tellem – Turn My Swag On [YSI]

And, no, I don’t have the powder!!!

Vegas: Day 5

Vegas, day 5. I’m thinking thank god this is the last day here. If you read yesterday’s post, you can prob imagine how this morning felt. This might have been the worst hangover I’ve ever had, but I guess that’s what I get for waking up in Vegas. Yes today’s post features The Offspring and Katy Perry ending out my 5 day vacation in the one and only Las Vegas.

Note to my readers once again, the past 5 days of Vegas posts were pre-written before my trip and are here for your enjoyment telling a story through music. This was not my actual experience of the city. But feel free to read the rest of my Vegas story here.

Vegas: Day 4

Vegas, day 4. My bankroll has got to be hitting zero somewhere around now so I guess we may as well turn to the next best thing in Vegas: drinking, and probably a lot of it. It’s all about a mindset ahead of time and how you’re gonna spend the night. Then start getting a little tipsy, and finally ending the night unpleasantly alone. Here’s 3 for you today describing that first night you just can’t afford to gamble or really anything else: Start Trouble, J-Kwon, and Buckcherry. Rest of my Vegas posts here.

Start Trouble – Let’s Get Fucked Up [YSI]

J-Kwon – Tipsy [YSI]

Buckcherry – Too Drunk [YSI]

Vegas: Day 3

Vegas, day 3. O man, I’m betting that it’s getting rough. That’s at least a bet I can win. Starting to see the underbelly of Vegas and taking that downward spiral trip through being broke.

I wish it was only the pretty side of Vegas we always saw. Guess I’ll just have to start gambling harder and relying on the ace of spades. If you couldn’t guess, today’s songs are from INXS and Motorhead. The rest of my Vegas posts are here.

INXS – Pretty Vegas [YSI]

Motorhead – Ace Of Spades [YSI]

Vegas: Day 2

Vegas, day 2. Alright, I can only assume I haven’t gone bankrupt yet so I must still be rolling high, at least in some way. Hopefully, luck is being a lady today and tonight y’all can come ride wit me. I know, quite the odd pairing for the day but here’s a little from Frankie and Nelly. You can read my other posts about my Vegas trip music here.

Frank Sinatra – Luck Be A Lady [YSI]

Nelly – Ride Wit Me [YSI]

Vegas: Day 1

Kris.G — Mon, 17 May 2010 19:30:58 +0000

Vegas, day 1. Today starts my first of five days in the city of sin. For the next five days, these posts have all been pre-written before my vacation. I’m going to be making guesses as to how my trip is going via music with 1 or 2 songs a day. But let’s kick this week of posts off strong with 3 great ones: A Junkie XL remix of Elvis, the LMFAO anthem about whatever city they’re in, and a classic song that just gets me in a good mood for Vegas.

Elvis Presley – A Little Less Conversation (JXL remix) [YSI]

LMFAO – I’m in Las Vegas, Bitch [YSI]

Tom Jones – It’s Not Unusual [YSI]

ZZ Top – Viva Las Vegas

Starting tomorrow, I’ll be spending 5 days in Vegas for the first time… It could be really good or really bad. Anyway, I’m going to pre-write my next five days worth of posts and see if I can predict the ups and downs of my trip via music. To get this all kicked off right, I chose a classic Vegas song, but this time it’s by ZZ Top off their 1992 greatest hits album instead of the original 1964 Elvis Presley recording.
