Our First Social: Fans, Cake & Mustaches

LAST SATURDAY MARKED the launch of our Stations Socials – periodic events designed for us connect with our online fans and followers for some shop-talk, drinks and laughs. Judging from the feedback we are receiving on twitter and facebook, we’re onto something pretty cool.

If you’ve never been to a meet-up (or, for our twitter users, a “tweetup”), you should know that it’s sometimes kind of awkward at first. Many fans & followers know one another by online nicknames, tiny pictures or even logos, but this is the first time they meet IRL (In Real Life). Others are old friends from previous get-togethers. Each is a representative & spokesperson for their beloved followers, be it five or 50,000.

Our team received a tip that one of our guests, Chris (a.k.a @24k) had a birthday last weekend. Sunset Station‘s Marketing and Food & Beverage teams went above and beyond to build a delicious monster-sized birthday cake and helped us arrange a backstage meet & greet with Nawgahyde – Sunset Station’s most outrageous rock band. We were really lucky to have the ‘Nawg on board with this event. Nawgahyde plays a truly jaw-dropping show every Saturday in Club Madrid to a packed house, so it was an easy choice for the setting for our debut tweetup. (Check out my review of a past Nawgahyde show here).

These events are a great time, but they’re not all fun & games. The serious message we want to send is that Station Casinos realizes our social fans are not simply numbers. We always do our best to connect with you on a personal level and listen to what you have to say (trust us: the feedback we receive is not always pretty – but it’s never ignored). What we know for sure is this: our fans are really FANS!

Although social media is relatively fresh in the gaming industry, we’re lucky that we didn’t have to start our network from scratch. We kind of had a 33-year head start. Station Casinos has built a family of Las Vegas-area guests who love to stay and play with us week after week. This, in part, makes it easy for us to reward fans with good times and great deals. Moving forward, we assure you that we’re listening to where and how these rewards occur.

In the meantime, you should get connected, if you’re not already. Entertainment has rewards for any music lover – ask the winner of $200 Smokey Robinson tickets. Everybody loves a great steak – especially the 6 (and counting) steak-dinner-winners from the Charcoal Room from our Food & Beverage Department. Our rewards are not just for locals. Our facebook fans are booking offers “For Our Fans Only” all the time, courtesy of our Hotel Directors.

Please leave us comments and let us know where you would like to see a future social meetup. When you would like to attend, and what types of perks you’d like to enjoy while you’re there. We always have things in the works – so, again, stay connected with us on twitter and facebook so you don’t miss our next event, giveaway or hotel offer!

Introduce Yourself! Tweetup at Sunset Station

Join us - bring your tweeps!

HEY FRIENDS, YOU PROBABLY saw this already if you follow us on twitter, but just in case you didn’t, here’s your invitation:

The Station Casinos Social Media Team would like to invite you to the first of our STATIONS SOCIALS.

What the heck? Bring your tweeps (age 21 or older, please) and join us for a night of introductions, laughs, drink specials and some great live rock n’ roll!

When is this fiasco, anyway? Saturday, February 27th at 9pm

What’s in it for me? Lots! Get there early and you’ll get a coupon for a free drink and a free mustache (while supplies last).  Hang out and meet your tweeps and ours IRL (In Real Life). Plan to stay and enjoy drink specials all night and a live performance by Sunset Station’s most outrageous rockers, Nawgahyde. We guarantee it’s a show you won’t soon forget!

Cool! How to I RSVP? Please RSVP at twtvite.com. Here’s the link: http://twtvite.com/23sgd3

Red Rock welcomes JD LIVE to Rocks Lounge

JD Live performs every Friday and Saturday at Rocks Lounge inside Red Rock Resort

JD LIVE performs every Friday and Saturday at Rocks Lounge.

Station Casinos welcomes JD LIVE, a Hollywood native, dance music producer and DJ, to the Rocks Lounge inside Red Rock Resort.

JD LIVE has appeared on the nightclub scene in 1994, and with his dynamic style he quickly became a crowd favorite.

His extensive library of sounds ranges from Top 40 and Mash Ups to Flashbacks, Rock and Oldskool, however, you’ll never know when he decides to sneak some other elements into his play list. The clubbers love him and the party doesn’t stop until his records are done spinning.

His ongoing success and attention to detail with remixes have been profound in the dance world. Never one to rest, JD has launched Groove Universal Records, introducing the best in dance music.

JD LIVE recently told us about himself.

“Music is my passion; I make it, I play it. There’s only one thing on my mind when I’m in my studio or at the club, keep the crowd movin’.

I seek to bring back quality in music through mixing and producing. I understand the concept of when customers come into a nightclub they want to be entertained.

Customers are paying to experience something new. They want the music to keep them dancing all night! I strive to not only to provide music, but also to give the crowd something to connect with and most importantly something to remember…”

Join us every Friday & Saturday at Rocks Lounge inside Red Rock Resort from 9pm – 2am. (Please note: Dark on 1/15/10 and 1/16/10)

I might be a redneck, thanks to Nawgahyde

Seriously hilarious. Nawgahyde rocks Club Madrid every Saturday at Sunset Station.

Seriously hilarious. Nawgahyde rocks Club Madrid every Saturday at Sunset Station.

When I heard there was a band named “Nawgahyde” starting on Saturdays at Club Madrid, I wasn’t sure what type of music to expect. Was it metal? Was it gangsta rap? A DJ? As soon as I saw the promotional materials, though – no further questions. The “Kickass Mustache Rock” signs made me chuckle, and instantly reminded me of the old “Freedom Rock” commercials from the 90′s:

“Heyyyy, man… Is that Freedom Rock?”

“Yeaaaahhh, man.”

“Well, turrrrn it up, man!”

I had to see this band in person.

Last Saturday night, a small group of friends and I drove to Sunset Station in Henderson to “get our asses kicked” by Nawgahyde. We arrived a little early and enjoyed drink specials brought to us by the lovely Toni Ann, who donned country-girl attire in theme with that night’s Daisy Duke Look-alike Contest. (I didn’t look at the short shorts, I swear!)

The classic 80′s metal videos on the big screens in Club Madrid set the mood leading up to the show. Visuals from Iron Maiden, Van Halen and Poison turned the conversation to David Lee Roth’s tights, Twisted Sister’s makeup, and Bret Michaels and his Aqua Net. Soon after, Big Mex, host of Outlaw Radio on KOMP 92.3, The Rock Station, took the stage to introduce the Nawg.

Initially, you’ll laugh. Wait, what am I saying? You’ll laugh all night. Brothers Dallas and Houston Texas don’t miss an opportunity to insult one another, while Drummer Skeeter uses his CB to “copy that” each time he agrees. There are a few breaks between sets, when the audience members are invited on stage to participate in pranks, contests and general mayhem, reminiscent of a Dukes Of Hazzard episode.

Here’s the real deal, though: these guys seriously rock! While the comedy is thick, the riffs of 70′s and 80′s rock classics are no joke. The crowd, like my guests, may have been a bit skeptical at first. After all, Nacho, the guitarist, looks as if he’s asleep on stage at first – until he starts ripping into solos like Iron Man by Black Sabbath, or Boston’s More Than a Feeling,and classics from ZZ Top, Ted Nugent, and you know there’s some Skynyrd.

You’d definitely get your money’s worth – if you had to pay. It’s a FREE SHOW! All the more reason to trim up that mustache and “git on down” to Sunset Station with your friends on Saturday nights to get your asses kicked for yourselves.
