Indie Tracks That Feel Like a Late Night in Vegas

The late-night Vegas vibe is electric, and there is a constant buzz. Music oozes out from the myriad lounges, and the whirring of roulette wheels and the hum of slot machines emanate from the casinos. 

There is something visceral about experiencing Vegas at night. While there is nothing quite like being there in person, the rising popularity of sweepstakes casinos across the US brings an essence of the magic closer to home. The excitement of spinning reels is accompanied by real dealers. Creating a soundtrack that reflects the feeling of a late-night Vegas enhances the experience. 

Our playlist captures the surreal aura, romance, and touch of melancholy of Vegas after dark. Whether you are sitting at the tables in a Vegas casino, visiting the city’s clubs, driving along The Strip, or seeking the Vegas vibe at home, these tunes deliver. 

Chromatics – “Night Drive”

“I take a drive in my car

I take a drive in my car

I see the sun disappear

I see the sun disappear.”

You are headed out of the city, along the highway at 3.00 a.m. You are alone, and rhythm is tempting you back to the bright lights. Will you give in to it? 

Cigarettes After Sex – “Apocalypse”

“Your lips, my lips

Apocalypse

Your lips, my lips

Apocalypse.”

Intimate moments in a Vegas hotel room. Whispered words in a city where everything is possible, reality is blurred, and secrets are often not revealed. 

The War on Drugs – “Strangest Thing”

“Now the sky is painted

In a wash of indigo

I’ve been holding on too long

In the howling of this cold.”

The Vegas winter evening is not felt by the casino throngs as the illuminated slots create their own electricity. Will the warmth of the masses pull you from your melancholy thoughts?  

Beach House – “Space Song”

“Tender is the night

For a broken heart

Who will dry your eyes

When it falls apart?”

You’re sitting in your Camaro with the top down as the lights of Vegas dazzle below the twinkling stars that blanket the midnight skies. Lush synths surround you in romance and the dream of fixing a broken heart and making everything right with the universe. 

TOPS – “Way to Be Loved”

“Is that the way that you are?

I can picture you staring

Out the window

Not caring

The nights go by

Oh, the nights go by.”

The glitter and glamor of Vegas are fun and enticing. But, beware your Vegas alter ego, and avoid making the mistakes your cocktail and dancing other self may make. 

M83 – “Midnight City”

“Waiting for a word

Looking at the milky skyline

The city is my church

It wraps me in its blinding twilight.”

An anthem for those who love the city at night. The lights and sounds of Vegas embrace you and welcome you into an exhilarating kinship. 

Twin Shadow – “Five Seconds”

“Five seconds in your heart

Straight to the heart

I can’t get to your heart

She said, five seconds in your heart

Straight to the heart

I can’t get to your heart.”

You’re racing down the highway on your Harley. The heartbeat of Vegas draws you in, but the rebellious nature of your romance with the city will never be long-lasting as the reality of a new day arrives. 

Blood Orange – “You’re Not Good Enough”

“I never was in love

You know that you were never good enough

Fall asleep right next to me

You know that you were never good enough.”

You’re in a Vegas club with a funky vibe. You are getting over a break-up and feigning indifference, but the pain is real. The music is helping to soothe it away.
