Ok, the buds and I are going to Vegas next week! Should be awesome. There are 11 of us going out for a bachelor party. Oh man I can't wait.
I want to put together a mix of songs about Vegas or gambling or such themed tunes.
Any ideas?

Julian Cope - Las Vegas Basement
Though I don't really think this or many of the other songs mentioned really work for a bachelor party.....

I was under the impression the songs were for the trip to Las Vegas, not for the bachelor party.

Your impression is correct, the songs are for getting pumped for Vegas.
Oh, and thanks for all the great suggestions!

The songs aren't necessarily Vegas-themed, but the Crystal Method "Vegas" album is a good energetic album that makes a good backdrop for a "chilling in the hotel room before going to see the titties and get loaded" type situation.

I also second the recommendation of Crystal Method's Vegas album.

Yeah, I'm considering still going, it'll cost $150 to cancel, or $30 to change the name on the other ticket... Her loss, not mine
