The Last Vegas is an American rock band formed in 2003 in Chicago, Illinois. With influences that range from hard rock to glam metal and Southern rock, the group is comprised of lead vocalist Chad Cherry, guitarists Johnny Wator and Adam Arling, bassist Danny Smash, and drummer Nate Arling. After issuing two albums on the label Get Hip Records—2004's Lick 'Em and Leave 'Em and 2006's Seal the Deal—the band independently released the EP High Class Trash in 2007, which gained traction thanks to a Guitar Hero tie-in. Following the release of an eponymous LP in 2008, The Last Vegas won the chance to accompany musical heroes Mötley Crüe on their Saints of Los Angeles tour after winning a battle of the bands sponsored by Guitar Center. Produced by Mötley Crüe's Nikki Sixx, their fourth album Whatever Gets You Off (2009) mainly consisted of re-recorded songs from their self-titled album and featured the tracks "I'm Bad" and "Apologize," two of their most successful singles. Preceded by the single "Evil Eyes," Bad Decisions arrived in 2012, followed by Sweet Salvation in 2014 and the self-produced Eat Me in 2016.
