Las Vegas DJ
Saturday night was a great Las Vegas DJ gig at the classic Golden Nugget Casino and Hotel in downtown Las Vegas NV, right on the Freemont Street Experience. I was hired by the LA Rubber Group, a trade group for professionals in the rubber industry.
Loading in my DJ gear is always a challenge - there is parking to contend with, the casino crowd and of course the elevator. I was able to navigate everything without any major glitches and make it up to the catering room. I arrived in the room about 2 hours before the event started. I don't normally arrive this far in advance but this was a special situation and I wanted to be certain that I had my DJ equipment setup and working before any guests arrived.
This was a crowd of about 150 people and they were ready to party. The ladies were looking great and dressed to kill! The guys were ready to cut loose and shake it with the ladies. After dinner and sucking up drinks they were ready to dance! This was a mix of younger and older people, but mainly older. After playing a few songs, some people came up for request - they wanted some disco and 90's party type music. I'm always amazed that no matter what the age group, MC Hammer's You Can't Touch This, Working at the Car Wash, Salt and Peppa's Push It and Sir Mix A Lot's Baby Got Back are always at the top of the request list and get the dance floor packed!
Later in the evening, they wanted to sing a few karaoke songs. The singers and guests had fun and stay until I closed the party down at 10pm (remember, this is a corporate event).
One pet peeve that I have is that some knuckle head (there seems to be one at every gig) comes up and tells me that he is or was a DJ. He then proceeds to start naming songs I should play. Really? This is not YOUR show, it's mine and I'm getting paid for it. I'm the Las Vegas DJ, not YOU- please go away.
