It’s been a week since I’ve returned from Las Vegas, I was out there for 5 days and during my stay, I went to see The Dave Matthews Band at the MGM Grand. It was a great show! I had VIP Tickets which included Floor seats and a VIP Lounge that had food and drinks for VIP’s.

I had a great time at the shows, Dave and the Band put on an outstanding show both nights. The setlists were completely different each night and it was nice to hear some of the new music. Their new album Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King drops on June 2nd. I’m very excited about the new album, I’ve heard 5 songs from the album so far and they are very good.

While in Vegas, I played my favorite 3 card poker and did very well (for a change). The first night I was there, I sat down at a table and on the very first hand, got the best possible 3 card hand, a straight flush! That made my day. It got better, I hit 3 of a kind 5 times over my stay, which is the second best hand at 3 card. I actually came back from Vegas with more money than I took with me. That was a first!

Here are some photos from the Dave Matthews Band shows.

Dave Matthews Band – VEGAS Baby!

I’m pretty excited and I’ve been looking forward to this for months! I’m heading out to Vegas for a little business and while I’m there, my favorite band is going to be at the MGM Grand for 2 nights. The Dave Matthews Band is on their Spring Tour and will be playing the MGM Grand for 2 nights, May 8th and 9th.

Here’s the best part, I got VIP tickets for the show. I get to go to a Before the show party, watch the show from the floor (very close to the stage) and attend the VIP after party.

It should be a great show, the band is getting ready to put out a new album on June 2nd, titled Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King (a tribute to Leroi Moore, a band member that passed away last summer from an ATV accident). I’ve heard a few of the new songs and they are very, very well done.

I guess being in Vegas for the show isn’t too bad either, I’m looking forward to playing some cards as well.

I really hope I can get my camera into the show, I’m sure there will be many great photo opportunities. I’ll have my iPhone but really want to get the digital camera inside. We’ll see how it goes. Keep an eye out for photos in the next week or so.
