AIR SUPPLY Friday, August 4 at 8pm
Russell Hitchcock and Graham Russell met on May 12, 1975, the first day of rehearsals for the musical Jesus Christ Superstar in Sydney, Australia, in which they were both performing. Due in part to their love for the Beatles and, of course, singing, they became instant friends, forming the soft rock group Air Supply soon thereafter. In 1980 their hit “Lost in Love” had become the fastest selling single in the world, leaping to the top of all the charts, including hitting No. 3 on Billboard. Their second single, “All Out of Love,” went up the charts even quicker and hit No. 2. Eight top-five singles later, Air Supply at that time
had equaled the Beatles’s run of consecutive top five singles. Together with “Every Woman in the World,” “Here I Am,” “Dance With Me,” “The One That You Love,” “Sweet Dreams,” and “Making Love Out of Nothing at All,” these songs sold over 10 million copies worldwide. The trademark sound of Russell Hitchcock’s soaring tenor voice and Graham Russell’s majestic guitar accompaniment created a unique sound that still draws fans today. The duo continues to play to live audiences around the globe, with recent stops in England, Ireland, Israel, Philippines, Korea, Japan, Canada, and the United States. Now you can experience them in person at Isleta Resort & Casino on Friday, August 4. For more information, visit www.isleta.com

.. QUEENSRYCHE and Skid Row Friday, August 11 at 8pm
Queensrÿche first burst onto the music scene in 1982 with the release of their self-titled four-song EP Queensrÿche. They quickly gained international recognition for their operatic hard rock sound, and performed to sold-out audiences around the world. The band has sold over 30 million albums worldwide. In 1988 Queensrÿche released their most successful album to date, Operation: Mindcrime, which would go on to become one of the top ten bestselling concepts records of all time. Their 1991 album Empire earned the band multiple Grammy Award nominations and won them the MTV Viewers Choice Award for the No. 1 chart-topping hit “Silent Lucidity.” Joining Queensrÿche is the award-winning heavy metal band Skid Row, who have enjoyed international acclaim since they first burst onto the scene in 1989. One of their two multi-platinum albums includes Slave to the Grind (1991), which reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200, a strong contributor to Skid Row’s 20 million albums sold worldwide. Don’t miss the chance to hear two of the most dynamic hard rock and heavy metal bands playing today, live and in concert at Route 66 Casino Hotel on August 11. For more information, visit www.rt66casino.com
CHEECH & CHONG Saturday, August 19 at 8pm
Successful beyond their wildest dreams, the iconic comedy duo Cheech & Chong defined an era with their hilariously irreverent, satirical, counter-culture, no-holds-barred comedy routines. Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong’s phenomenal success on the stand-up comedy circuit eventually led to nine hit comedy albums and eight hit films, all of which were directed by Chong. For more than a decade, the duo thrilled fans, broke box office records, and shattered comedy album sales. They also re-
ceived four Grammy nominations, and were awarded Best Comedy Album for their third album, Los Cochinos, released in 1973. They transitioned to film in 1978 with their first movie, Up In Smoke. As the highest grossing comedy of that year, it topped $100 million at the box office. Don’t miss your chance to catch one of the most hilarious comedy teams in history when Cheech & Chong hit the Route 66 Casino Hotel stage on August 19. For more information visit www.rt66casino.com
THE SPINNERS Saturday, August 5 at 8pm
One of the most popular and long-lived outfits in rhythm and blues music, the Spinners are coming to the famous Legend’s Theater at Route 66 Casino Hotel on August 5. Formed in 1954 in Detroit, the Spinners have over 60 million records sold, have performed for a number of U.S. presidents, and have 18 solid gold top 40 hits, including “Could I Be Falling in Love,” “One of a Kind,” and “Then Came You.” They were nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015.

AUGUST SCHEDULE August 4th & 5th.............................................................................................. Perfeccion
Come with me for just a minute: Let’s pay a visit to a great casino nearby – any one of a dozen featured in this issue of Casino Entertainer. Whether you’re looking for a big score or just a few wins here and there, your odds are about the same at any casino. Why is that? Because everything about slots is random. There are dozens of stories out there about how “this one slot was hit back-to-back with serious jackpot numbers.” That’s an example of random. But let’s go back to you first walking into the casino and looking across the bustling floor at wave after wave of slot machines. How do you decide which machine to play?
Everyone seems to approach the problem differently. I’ve watched as some wander aimlessly and slowly through aisle after aisle, looking, or waiting, for a machine to call to them. Then there are the tigers, the chargers, the players who know precisely which machine they’re going to play, to work over, to talk to, to cuss at, then, hopefully, to kiss. They head straight to that machine and go to work. Inside your favorite slot machine is a device—we’ll call it a chip. This little rascal is small, wafer-like, and it drives another
device that you could say is like a little engine. Now this little chip and this little engine work in concert and run continuously, 24/7, whether or not the machine is being played. So, which way to go? Simply sit down in front of any machine and start slugging away, or cull one or two out of the herd of hundreds and concentrate on them only? Psychologists tell me players get the most satisfaction by selecting one or two—no more than three—slots and staying with them. Learn all you can about how to build on credits, familiarize yourself with all the symbols and icons. It will pay off in the end. But the real payoff is the sense of accomplishment you’ll feel if and when you do hit a sizable jackpot, the satisfaction of knowing, “It wasn’t just Lady Luck smiling at me. I learned and earned that payday.”

Warrant and Winger rock the stage at Inn of the Mountain Gods Friday, August 4. Since their formation in 1984 in Hollywood, Warrant has taken the country by storm, producing five glam metal albums reaching international sales of over 10 million. The band first came into the national spotlight with their double-platinum debut album, Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich, and the single “Heaven,” which reached No. 1 in Rolling Stone and No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The band continued to make heads bang in the early 1990s with another double-platinum album, Cherry Pie, which provided the unforgettable hit and music video of the same name. Winger harnessed the power of two popular metal genres—glam metal and progressive metal—to inspire a new way of rocking out. Formed in New York City, Winger gained popularity with two platinum albums, Winger and In the Heart of the Young, along with charting singles “Seventeen,” “Headed for a Heartbreak,” and “Miles Away,” which put the band on the top of the charts by the early 1990s. Winger was nominated for an American Music Award for Best New Heavy Metal Band in 1990, proving they know how to step onto the music scene with a bang. Tickets start at just $25. Don’t miss this iconic rock show on Friday, August 4.

Famed Elvis impersonator Justin Shandor is coming to Inn of the Mountain Gods.

He made his national TV debut in 2013, performing on the David Letterman Show in front of an estimated 3.5 million viewers. Shandor came in first place at an invite-only contest held in Memphis to determine the best Elvis impersonator in the world, and Graceland named him “Word’s Ultimate Elvis!” Don’t miss this chance to get up close to the King on Saturday, August 26.

ALABAMA Friday, August 4 at 8pm
Alabama has forever changed the face of country music. Formed 40-plus years ago by a group of cousins, the band brought harmony, youthful energy, and a rocking edge to traditional country sounds, along the way expanding both the genre and its fan base. Fittingly, “My Home’s In Alabama,” from the 1980 album of the same name, was the band’s first major hit. Soon thereafter, they earned their first No. 1 with “Tennessee River,” and then went on to produce 21 straight No. 1 singles, including “Love in the First Degree,” “Mountain Music,” “The Closer You Get,” and “Southern Star”—a record that will probably never be equaled in any genre.
And that was just in the 1980s. “I’m In A Hurry (And Don’t Know Why),” helped the band kick off the ’90s, in which the boys earned 29 more chart hits, including 22 No. 1 or Top 5 singles. With 73 million albums sold and countless accolades and awards, Alabama is now part of both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And now you can share in their on-going journey at the enchanting 4,000seat outdoor Amphitheater at Sandia Resort & Casino, Albuquerque’s Premier Live Entertainment Venue.

Has Anyone Seen My Chips?
A man without a plan got caught stealing $125,000 worth of casino chips at an Australian casino. According to a story published by News.com/au, Gunawan Akay, 39, pleaded guilty to swiping 25 chips, valued at $5,000 each, from the baccarat table in the exclusive Maple Room at the Melbourne casino. Closed circuit cameras caught all the details of the heist. Mr. Akay somehow lost 23 of the chips during his escape—from the time he rushed out of the casino, jumped into a cab, and got home. When he got home, he told the judge, he had only two of the 25 chips still on him. So Casino Entertainer is wondering: where did the other 23 chips—valued at $115,000— go? Could it be that some lucky Aussie found a trail of chips along the thief’s escape path? Is the cabbie sipping on pina coladas on some Australian beach? Or did Mr. Akay hide the chips away? Inquiring minds want to know!

ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19) The alignment of planets in fire, in addition to the solar eclipse on the 21st, thrusts you into a new creative direction. All month long you will implement new ideas and put old ones in motion. You will be in the public eye in some way. Love opportunities are in the mix.
LEO (JULY 23 - AUGUST 22) Happy Birthday, Lions, and feel the power! You are in a once-in-a-lifetime stellar period, in which the alignment in your sign will boost your lifestyle. Give yourself a lift by remodeling yourself or your home. You will strengthen your bonds and make peace with love and family.
TAURUS (APRIL 20 - MAY 20) The cosmos adds fuel to the fire in your income department. Your current employment or financial status may be up in the air now. Review all decisions and don’t take any drastic action. Your home and family may need attention now. Avoid taking sides and try to stay neutral.
VIRGO (AUGUST 23 - SEPTEMBER 22) Leo vibrations stir up your sector of the past and how you process life and its situations. It may be time to rethink your current professional goals and take a detour. The lunar eclipse on the 7th enables you to reevaluate personal and professional associations and weigh their purpose.
GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 21) You will undergo a change in your daily routine. There are two eclipses taking place in your education, travel, and professional status. Your ruling planet will go into retrograde motion on August 12 until September 5, causing some hiccups in your plans. So, expect minor changes.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 - OCTOBER 23) Solar energy is in your house of future plans, making this a very inspirational period. At this time you will revamp every area of your life that you are not satisfied with and one by one begin making major changes to achieve your goals. Love and new friendships are in the air.
CANCER (JUNE 22 - JULY 22) The new moon eclipse lands in your money houses, causing to you to question if you should remain satisfied with your current position and salary or if it’s time to move to the next level. If you have been holding off on pursing a more satisfying career or purchasing a house or car, now is the time to go for it.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 21) The planets open doorways professionally and financially now. If you have been waiting for the right time to make a career move, open a business, or expand financially, this would be it! Many obstacles will be removed if you’ve been sitting on financial deals or waiting for a real estate sale. SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 - DECEMBER 21) You will experience intense personal transformation that may come through long distance travel, specialized education, publishing, or public speaking. Your spiritual compass is in full gear now, helping you make the right choices in all aspects of your life. You will focus on yourself and let go of the past. CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 - JANUARY 19) The healing power of the current cosmic rays enables you to turn around any negative events concerning joint finances and business partnerships. If you have received the wrong advice in the past, now is the time to rectify it and get back on track. Make a fresh start. AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 - FEBRUARY 19) Stay centered during August, as there may be a lot of crazy situations thrown at you by people who depend on you to come through or make something happen. This is a very social period, but be cautious about confrontations during the full moon in your sign on the 7th. PISCES (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20) Try not to look back at the past and keep focused on all of the visions you have been working on manifesting. Domestic matters come to the forefront, as do unresolved legal problems. It’s time to stand up for what is yours. Try not to jump to conclusions without all the facts.
