Last Friday was my first night being the Dj at Mr. D's Sports Bar in Las Vegas. One thing that is unmistakeable: this is a biker's bar. The parking lot was jammed with motorcycles and the inside was packed with their riders.
After getting setup, plenty of singers were ready to bleed my ears and had their songs all picked out. Everyone was surprised to see a new DJ: it seems like a string of DJ's have been rotating in and out the past few months. So, feeling the pressure that I may soon be rotated out, I made sure I performed my best.
Lot's of singers and dancers made my night easy. The ladies loved the dance music and the dudes liked the classic rock. About 3am, I packed up and called it a night.

Wedding Reception at the Monte Carlo Casino and Resort Las Vegas
VegasDeeJay.Com was contacted about being the Dj at their wedding reception at the Mirage Hotel and Casino a few months ago. I told the bride I was available for the wedding reception. She was extremely happy since she had been referred to me from one of my previous clients. The service agreement was e-mailed and the date confirmed.
As the week before the Las Vegas wedding approached, the bride still had not sent back the agenda information. I called and e-mailed her. She said the place of the reception had changed and would be at the Monte Carlo in Las Vegas, instead of the Mirage. In this business, follow up and constant contact with the client is an absolute must! It would have been a disaster if I showed up at the Mirage.
Arriving at the Monte Carlo, the staff was very helpful in directing me to the correct room and the preferred location to setup up my gear. The room bartender was very friendly and the room captain was extremely professional. As the time for the reception rolled around, no bridal party or guests were to be seen. After waiting for an hour and a half, the bridal party finally arrived.
Most people were from out of town. They were hungry and tired. Fighting traffic and tons of tourists on the way from the Little Chapel of the West to the Monte Carlo is always challenging. And of course, the large resort casinos always have a parking garage that's about 1/2 mile walk from the banquet rooms!
Immediately, I put everyone at ease and invited them to eat and drink. The bride and groom did all the traditional things: first dance, parent dances, garter toss, etc. I had the dance floor packed the rest of the night playing the group dances that people love so much, as well as lot's of top 40 and plenty of disco for the older crowd. I got plenty of compliments. But more importantly, the bride and groom were extremely satisfied and will have nothing but wonderful memories of their Las Vegas wedding reception. As a Las Vegas DJ, I will highly recommend the Monte Carlo in Las Vegas.

Luau Time
Rico Madrid, founder of the Las Vegas Band, Standing Room Only (SRO), landed me a DJ gig for a private party in Las Vegas this Labor Day weekend. It was a luau theme. I had been the DJ for this Las Vegas group of people before, so I had a pretty good idea of what type of music they liked. Since this was a special private Las Vegas event, I decided to bring out the "wheels of steel", my Technics 1200 turntables.
It was a great event. Plenty of food and free drinks kept everyone in a festive mood. While Djing I played plenty of Beach Boys and Don Ho, to keep the luau theme. Lot's of people were impressed to see me playing real vinyl records. It felt good to have people enjoy themselves, dance and compliment me on my music selection.
Most of the ladies dressed in some sort of luau clothes; grass skirts, bikini tops, etc. The guys kept in the spirit of things as well by donning hawaiian shirts and summer hats.
I'll probably Dj for this same Las Vegas group at their annual halloween party in October. What should I dress up as?
