Mammoet's Vegas in Waterloo!

Late last January I hooked up with Hollywood Heaven for a corporate function in Waterloo. The winter was a mild one but they made it slightly warmer by bringing Vegas North of the border...

Mammoet's yearly corporate party's theme was to move the sin city to Waterloo, Ontario by hiring Hollywood Heaven to do just that. Magicians, Vegas show girls, Marilyn Monroe, Rod Stewart, Elton John, a singing Impressionist, Sinatra and the King himself Elvis all made the entertainment lineup!

Hollywood Heaven also brought in a sound and lighting company to provide a massive stage and state of the art lighting rig. The room was most impressive.

Marilyn Monroe started off the show with a few of her best numbers including "I Wanna Be Loved By You" and "Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend." She then took over MC'ing duties for the night introducing the rest of the acts.

Next, Rod Stewart took over and as cool as can be belted out a few of his most known songs in Having a Party, Maggie and Don't Get Around. For his last number "Legs" he had a bunch of the ladies in the crowd up on stage for some fun antics and at one point crawling on his knees and lifting skirts (just above the knees...) while singing the chorus line.

Elton John followed with a high energy set singing and playing his piano while the showgirls joined on stage to dance along.

Sir Elton John!

The singing impressionist who I have seen now on several occasions impersonates over 300 singers while taking songs and changing the lyrics to give it a comedic element. This has got to be one of the funniest acts I've seen and he did not disappoint. It didn't take long until the crowd ended up in stitches laughing so hard.

Vegas would not be Vegas without these last two acts.... Frank Sinatra and the King himself finished off the show with both singing some of their greatest hits.  Here's a pic of Frankie singing "New York New York" and Elvis singing "All Shook Up."

Both Elton John and Elvis provided several opportunities for the crowd to join in with a few slow dances so when it was my turn to take over I started strong with "Moves Like Jagger" filling up the dance floor quickly.

It was an easy crowd to play for with genres including the latest top 40 tracks, country, rock and a little bit of retro 80s. Things were going so well that the client asked me to continue playing an additional hour. By that point the top 40 dance tracks and the light technician had the place feeling like a nightclub!

In all it was a great night. The entertainment was superb, the ambiance stunning and the crowd there to have a good time.

A Happy Dance Floor!
