So you’ve decided to have a casino night for your company party… that’s fantastic! An evening of friendly betting can bridge generational and cultural social gaps and gives your employees a fresh way to interact with one another. People don’t often think of gambling as a way of bringing people together, but, surprisingly, it does just that. Coworkers that rarely speak to each other find themselves cheering (or groaning) together in the high-stakes roller coaster ride.
Just like any great company party, you need a great DJ who can play a well-rounded, fun mix of music to reflect the diversity of your guests. And with a casino night, it’s always smart to throw in a few “themed” tunes to really set the mood. There are so many to choose from, but we all have our favorites! So here is my personal “Top 10 Casino Songs” list for your reading and listening pleasure…
#10. “I’m Bad, I’m Nationwide” – ZZ Top
There is something about that dirty 70’s Texas blues rock sound that screams gambling. This jam is all about high-rolling, and makes me think of those smoke-filled, off-the-main-strip Vegas joints.
#9. “For The Love Of Money” – The O’Jays
Money money money money… MONEY! You can’t help but bop your head and sing along while shooting dice at the craps table. But remember, it’s all for fun… “don’t let money change you!”.
#8. “Stuck In The Middle With You” – Stealers Wheel
“I’ve got clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right!”. I’m looking at you, Bob from accounting. Did you just raise me with that 7-2?
#7. “Poker Face” – Lady GaGa
It’s always a good idea to bring your stone-cold stare with you to the poker table, and Lady GaGa is here for your public service announcement when things get scary.
#6. “Money (That’s What I Want)” – The Beatles
Another timeless Fab Five song to rock out to while you make your push to be an in-office legend. Yes, the best things in life are free, however…
#5. “Another One Bites The Dust” – Queen
Sure, we love to see our fellow employees do well, but not everybody can win! You can silently sing this one to yourself as your coworkers drop like flies.
#4. “Got Money” – Lil Wayne featuring T-Pain
The ultimate big-baller hype song! You know it’s been a good night if you are throwing money into the air. V.I.P.!
#3. “Viva Las Vegas” – Elvis Presley
We all know that Elvis is The King, but if he was the honorary mayor of a city, it would be Las Vegas, and this would be its anthem.
#2. “Luck Be A Lady” – Frank Sinatra
Frank Sinatra and his cronies sculpted a barren landscape into Sin City, and his music will always encapsulate its spirit.
#1. “The Gambler” – Kenny Rogers
Never has there been a better song written about gambling. Even people that aren’t fans of country music will be singing along to this perfect gem. “You got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em…”
