Las Vegas DJ
My next gig was for a 20 year college reunion at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino. Getting to the gig was a challenge. The previous night a huge wind, rain and thunderstorm had blown through Las Vegas reaching gusts up to 60 MPH! Excepting some delays along the Strip, I left for the gig about 2 1/2 hours before it started.
The Strip was packed with cars and people as I turned into the Flamingo parking garage. It seemed that it rained so hard, some of the parking areas were flooded. So, less parking and lots of people with cars. I drove up and down the parking garage for about 30 minutes looking for a parking space! I finally found a parking spot and unloaded my Hummer and loaded up my hand cart with my gig gear.
The party had been moved downstairs, because the room upstairs was flooded. Fortunately, the party organizer had texted me earlier about the change, so I didn't have so waste time going to the wrong room.
It was small group of about 50 people. They had graduated from nursing college in the Philippines and came to the USA to escape the poor economy. They had a great agenda, nice slide presentation and a lot of fun playing adult games and dancing (lot's of 80's)!

My Life as a Las Vegas DJ

Off To The Palms Hotel and Casino
Las Vegas DJ
It was a kind of a crazy week. First, I got a call from a mom that asked if I could DJ for her 13 year old's birthday party - at the Palms Hotel and Casino. I have done my share a gigs at the Palms and for teen party's. But, never I have done both at the Palms. It seems the parents rented the King Pin VIP suite - complete with 2 lane bowling alley, huge shower, hot tub, the latest home theater technology, bar, private rooms, awesome views and 2500 sq. feet of fun.
She wanted a blowout party for the kids. The thing about kid and teen parties, you must keep things moving and be able to play the latest pop music. I came armed with all the newest music, karaoke, props for games and a fun attitude. About 20 kids showed up. They headed for the food and and the bowling alley (remember, this is the King Pin suite). I played a lot of Bieber, One Direction and a little of old school hip-hop for the parents. I kept things moving with a lot games including cheesy prizes. All of the other adults, except the mom, slowly snuck off and headed out to the casino. Knowing how hard she must have worked to organize this event, I felt empathy for her being left with all the kids. But, right or wrong, that's what mom's do. Stick around with the kids to make sure that everything is going safely. My next gig details coming right up...
