Monday Nights in #Vegas, THE place to be! 2 Years of Standing Room Only last week 2 sets of TV producers!
That’s right, the secret is out. Who knew that last Monday night would end with even more notoriety. The Vegas Underground is attracting attention around the country, and around the world. Yes, last week TV production crews from LA and Dallas flew in to catch the show, and they had a ball!
Why not, it’s music and comedy in the Classic Vegas style that MADE Las Vegas ‘The Entertainment Capital of the World’. Our Tap House regulars have known it all along, and it’s why they’ve packed the room week after week.
We’ve become known as ‘The Rat Pack of the Next Generation’. Entertainers performing for other entertainers, introducing new talents in town, impressionists, visiting entertainers, and celebrities that drop in. You never know who will show up or what will happen…. unless you’re there!
Others have tried to imitate our style, and while it’s just not quite the same, it makes us proud that we’ve brought so much attention to live performance in Las Vegas. That was our goal.
BUT, there’s only one, and the only, the original…

Due to a serious conflict The #Vegas Underground WILL NOT perform at the Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay for May’s Third Thursday.
After heated discussions with Foundation Room director Steve Hart, and even with numerous Foundation Room members requesting our return, Steve has now cancelled the Third Thursday music event for June, as well.
There were several conflicts involved that caused this, but for the major one of them all, LJ accepts the responsibility. With his busy schedule of work, community, and charity events, he inadvertently forgot to reorder his special stage-use hair gel. He was left with just enough to honor his previously scheduled playing commitments.
As you can see from the photo above, LJ once attempted to take the stage without this gel while performing in his typical wild-man style, and had disastrous results.
So as simple as that, no perfect hair, no show.
For the Good news… All is not lost! Of course you can get The Vegas Underground ‘fix’ Monday nights at the Tap House on W. Charleston… that will have to tide you over for now.
As for the Foundation Room, while it saddens us all, we will not be returning there… UNTIL THE FOURTH THURSDAY IN JUNE !
That’s right, WE WILL BE BACK AT THE FOUNDATION ROOM TO ROCK THE FOUNDATION, Thursday JUNE 27, 2013!
Share this post with your friends and let them know we’ll be back!
Stay Tuned for More Details!

HELP OUR FRIEND NICOLAS CAGE! Sign the petition to help Nic bring more filmmakers and jobs to Nevada. #Vegas
Nicolas has supported our efforts to promote live entertainment in Las Vegas, and many of our community charity events. Now Nic wants to bring movie industry jobs to the state and he needs our help.
Filmmakers have bypassed our state, opting to go to other states that offer incentives. It costs millions to make a movie, but there are still the constraints of a budget. We are letting those millions in investment and paychecks escape our local economy. The TV show ‘Vegas’ is shot in New Mexico and another movie about Las Vegas to be shot in North Carolina for just that reason.
So let’s help Nic bring movie industry jobs and help to diversify our economy, by signing the online petition!
