Girls trip to Vegas is always fun!!  Had this one planned since December as part of a Christmas and Birthday gift to my friend, Sandy. While May 2011 seemed so far away then, now that it's come and gone, I have no clue where the time went.


No review of this event...it was what it was. A reminder that I'm a little too old for such late nights, and yet still young enough to have a damn good time.  If I were to do anything differently, it would have been a different choice of shoes. 

Tiësto In Concert, a groundbreaking live show featuring the world’s number one electronic DJ and producer Tiësto, begins residency at The Joint inside Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on Saturday, Jan. 1. Tiësto In Concert is a visual and aural experience of epic magnitude that has been created exclusively for The Joint. Tiësto In Concert will be the most immense Tiësto experience Las Vegas has ever witnessed.
His recently completed Kaleidoscope World Tour spanned more than 15 months and 175 dates across 6 continents playing to over 1,000,000+ people. The tour featured an epic live show including an exhibition of lasers, light shows, and state of the art video content as well as sound from one of the most powerful sound systems ever used.

Widely regarded as the number one DJ in the world, Tiësto has worked with global superstars such as Nelly Furtado, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Goldfrapp and more. Tiësto’s latest album Kaleidoscope Remixed is a reworking of his fourth album Kaleidoscope and includes a stunning collection of songs written and recorded in collaboration with a variety of music talents from the worlds of dance, pop and rock. He was nominated for a Grammy in 2007, voted number one DJ in the world by DJ Magazine three years in a row, voted number one DJ in the World 2008 by Mixmag Magazine and has sold millions of records worldwide.

We arrived at 11:30 to catch the tail end of the first DJ...followed by a 2nd DJ who could have easily stepped off a bus fresh from some small mid western town. But he had rhythm and knew how to mix so we had no complaints.  Tiesto took the stage around 1am and we hung out for a bit to head bop and hip shake. Taking a bit of break out on the casino floor, we came back for another 30 minutes of groove but by 4am, we were beat. All in all, a good time. Glad to have experienced it once...but chances are, wouldn't do it again.
