The VEGAS! pre-festival party in GHILLIE DHU, on Saturday the 31st of July 2010

It's the VEGAS! way to kick-off the Edinburgh Festival, with maximum style! Starring Frankie Sumatra and his bad-ass buddies - Dino Martini and Bugsy Seagull - the music was pumpin' for the ultra-stylish crowd who were movin', groovin', swingin' and swayin' on the dancefloor all night long. The ever-glamorous VEGAS! Showgirls handed out complimentary 'Elvis' dollars for patrons to gamble with at the blackjack and roulette tables in The Stardust Casino with The Fabulous Scott Brothers, and special guests The KITSCH KATS performed two absolutely superb dance routines which wowed the crowd. Now that's the way to start a festival!

Almost all photographs taken by Dino Martini - the dapper old snapper with the shiny napper!
