Another great weekend of Las Vegas DJ gigs! Friday night I was back at Mr. D's Sports Bar and Grill to help celebrate BikeFest. A local band, Filthy Albi, went on before I started. All of their songs were original. They only played an hour. About 15 minutes of that hour they took a break. Seemed unprofessional to play such a short amount of time and need a break.
I took over the show about 10:20. Lot's of bikers showed up and the crowd was in the mood to party. Played lot's of classic rock mixed in with some top 40 dance music. I'm starting to get some local followers that live close by come out.
One thing that has been kinda odd about being the Dj on Friday nights, is that every week another Las Vegas Dj will show up about an hour into my show. They see me setup, and tell me there must have been some kind of mixup. But I think the owner is tired of these other clowns starting an hour later than they are supposed to and are giving them the hint that he has a more reliable DJ now. My rule is: if you can't start on time, start early.
Well, Saturday night was a completely different gig. A couple from Colorado got married at the Las Vegas Luxor Casino and Hotel chapel. The reception was held in the catering room with about 50 people in attendance. The staff was wonderful and very enjoyable to work with. I received many compliments on my Las Vegas DJ/MC skills at the wedding reception from the guests as well as the staff. The bride and groom were in the mood to relax and dance, making my job easy.
I like to bring out the turntable for wedding receptions. Since I charge more for these events, it adds a nice touch to my show. The guests like it and I always get positive comments for spinning vinyl.
