When it comes to top DJ residencies, Vegas has no problem at all getting A-list talent from all over the world. However, unlike LA or New York, Sin City is exceeding expectation when it comes to being the first city to snatch up fresh DJ talent.
Oftentimes all it take is a grassroots following and an innovative and discerning musical ear to secure a weekday or opening slot at one of the dozen or so clubs here on the strip. If you're super good who knows you could be on the bill right next to a veteran like Tiesto or Aoki!
It's already Thursday and Vegas has a slew of awesome parties and performances lined up for you and your party brothers and sisters. Here are our top picks for this weekend:
LA-based DJ Borgeous is bringing the heat to Tao Beach this Thursday, so if you need to get your House music fix while kicking back poolside definitely hit up Tao Beach to kick off the weekend.
The drive From Los Angeles to Las Vegas is one that is pure Americana... a scenic route that has solidified itself into the cultural sphere. The four hour drive is not only beautiful, but the spirit of the journey prepares all parties involved for the fun and pleasures that lie ahead. When roadtripping, the radio or pandora just doesn't cut it. Albums and playlists are needed to enhance the drive and we've got the perfect playlist for your Vegas travels!
Ah yes, Labor Day... one of the few holidays meant for practically everybody – no prequisites required. Even if you happen to be currently unemployed (whether by luck or by choice) and continue to hold that status by the time Labor Day rolls around, as long as you've lifted a finger at one time in the totality of your life up until this point you get a pass... friend.
It's no secret that the world of electronic music has now risen to mainstream status. "Progressive EDM" and "Big Room House" are just some of the genre labels you'll see thrown around to describe the type of music pumping through nightclub speakers here on the strip and other major cities across the U.S. It can be argued that DJs are the closest thing we've seen to the Rock Gods of the 70's and 80's.
July is one of our favorite months for Vegas partying, and it just so happens we're right in the middle of it. Vegas isn't going anywhere but the summer pool party mayhem is chugging along at a healthy pace. Whether you're local and planning a serious stay-cation or you're one payday away from hopping on a plane, here is what's popping this weekend in the glorious City of Sin:
Just because the Fourth of July has passed doesn't mean Sin City doesn't have more up it's sleeve. Summertime is party time, and everyone wants to forget about the heat and the 9 to 5. Nothing that a heavy dose of booze and Progressive House Music and/or Hip-Hop couldn't fix. So without further ado, here is what is going on this weekend in our neon metropolis:
There’s really nothing better than visiting a local dive bar especially when you’re out of town. Entering into an unknown jaunt with no windows (to easily lose track of time drunkenly), dark interiors, a haze of cigarette smoke floating overhead, cheap drinks and a bartender who becomes your best friend after you buy them that first shot. Of course, you can make friends easily by buying the whole bar shots – even without breaking the bank.
Las Vegas is considered by many to be the Strip Club capital of the world. Vegas, being the entertainment mecca that it is, means that the most gorgeous dancers come to work here. If you're a guy then I already know what you're thinking... "Who has the hottest girls?" The fact of the matter is, that Vegas is home to some of the loveliest ladies in the world so Sin City already has you covered. There are exceptions to every rule, but don't worry, we wouldn't deceive you into going to a location that employs less than stellar beauties.
Vegas is not to be underestimated when it comes to excessive fireworks displays, outdoor pool parties, concerts, and mayhem. Any holiday celebration is an excuse to make things bigger and better here in Sin City. Plus, visitors from all over the world enjoy partaking in the festivities as well, so that is saying something.
